Should we save Toby?

Well, I've been slow at posting - we've had a stressful week here in the K. household. G. has been getting bullied and harrassed at school and it has really affected Lady Ann. So we've been having a tough week and blogging hasn't been on the list of priorities. Sorry about that but that's the way things go sometimes.

So I just heard about an interesting website: www.savetoby.com. The gist of it is that if the owner of the website doesn't get $50,000 from internet transactions then the rabbit named Toby gets eaten. Fundamentally I don't have a problem with eating rabbit. Even old ones can be good if stewed long enough. I am bothered by someone attempting to hold us internet users hostage and trying to claim it's our fault if Toby gets eaten. Toby's owner should take responsability for his own actions and eat or not eat Toby as he sees fit but not make us, the collective, a part of his decision. On the other hand, it's a cool way to try to make a relatively quick 50 Gs.

Work is getting busy. Trying to figure out a new software build system using gnu make. If you have to ask what that means then I probably can't explain it.

Ciao for now, stay in touch,
