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!

Using Loggerhead with mod_wsgi|(0)

Here’s a post I wrote over on the Project Fondue Blog about our use of Loggerhead with mod_wsgi under Apache. Loggerhead is the rather nice branch viewer for bazaar branches as used on Launchpad.net.

If you’re not already subscribed to the Project Fondue blog feed then I can recommend it, as there should be some interesting posts coming out of there in the coming months (yes I’m unashamedly biased!).

Ubuntu: Turn off changing workspace with mouse wheel|(1)

I found the changing with the workspace with the mouse wheel really annoying. To disable it go to System => Preferences => CompizConfig (available if the compizconfig-settings-manager package is installed) and uncheck “Viewport Switcher” which is under the “Desktop” heading.
