Mr. Mugo and the snake… | Comments (2)

Posted in Life on 16th July 2004, 11:38 am by Stuart

One fine day we returned from town to find our cat Mr. Mugo playing with a strange and yet recognisable shape on our driveway. I first of all thought that it was a toy snake; you know the rubbery plastic ones, and we do have a lot of children in our neighbourhood.

When I took a proper look I realised it was actually a grass snake that he had found and killed. This cat of ours thinks he’s a mongoose!

I have a cat called barnaby he often kills and eats moths and flys. I can’t even swat a fly that easily and he can do it in seconds. I ‘ve never seen a cat kill a snake before though!

Scrolling issue in Leopard cured with PRAM reset|(0)

Having got a shiny new MacBook Pro to work on at my new workplace I’ve had a couple of strange problems with Leopard. The main issue was that when scrolling the graphics was suffering what appeared to be a strange redraw problem when scrolling. After googling I found this post:“Distorted graphics in Leopard when scrolling”.

Fortunately for me: resetting the PRAM has worked and the flickering issue has gone for now.
