After much cloak-and-daggerness over the last few weeks, it is finally official, I am leaving my current employer and going to another which makes very shiny toys. So all of you who only have my work email and mobile phone number, please can you contact me on my personal one instead: slynkycat@gmail.com

It doesn’t interest me what you do for a living. Oriah Mountain Dreamer
I want to know what you ache for
and if you dare to dream of meeting your heart’s longing.
I want to know if you will risk looking like a fool
for love
for your dream
for the adventure of being alive.
It doesn’t interest me what planets are squaring your moon...
I want to know if you have touched the centre of your own sorrow
if you have been opened by life’s betrayals
or have become shrivelled and closed
from fear of further pain.
I want to know if you can sit with pain
mine or your own
without moving to hide it
or fade it
or fix it.
I want to know if you can be with joy
mine or your own
if you can dance with wildness
and let the ecstasy fill you to the tips of your fingers and toes
without cautioning us
to be careful
to be realistic
to remember the limitations of being human.
It doesn’t interest me if the story you are telling me
is true.
I want to know if you can
disappoint another
to be true to yourself.
If you can bear the accusation of betrayal
and not betray your own soul.
If you can be faithless
and therefore trustworthy.
I want to know if you can see Beauty
even when it is not pretty
every day.
And if you can source your own life
from its presence.
I want to know if you can live with failure
yours and mine
and still stand at the edge of the lake
and shout to the silver of the full moon,
“Yes.”
It doesn’t interest me
to know where you live or how much money you have.
I want to know if you can get up
after the night of grief and despair
weary and bruised to the bone
and do what needs to be done
to feed the children.
It doesn’t interest me who you know
or how you came to be here.
I want to know if you will stand
in the centre of the fire
with me
and not shrink back.
It doesn’t interest me where or what or with whom
you have studied.
I want to know what sustains you
from the inside
when all else falls away.
I want to know if you can be alone
with yourself
and if you truly like the company you keep
in the empty moments.
I have finally got round to uploading all the pics of huskies from our sledding adventure in Yukon in december, there's too many to post in here but you can find them by following This Link
All pics are uploaded at 1920x1280, if you click on the "all sizes" button in flickr you can download the high res ones if you like.
Happy 4th January 2008 everyone: => 04/01/2008.
Many, many more pics to follow, but I loved this husky's eyes, so a taster of the images to come (when I get time and am not jetlagged) Click image to open fullsize 1536x1024)
I'm currently in Whitehorse, Yukon, Canada at the moment, with absolutely no phone signal.
Because people didn't believe it existed....

The following quality of service levels are available: Concorde,Read the full thing here : http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc2549
First, Business, and Coach. Concorde class offers expedited data
delivery. One major benefit to using Avian Carriers is that this is
the only networking technology that earns frequent flyer miles, plus
the Concorde and First classes of service earn 50% bonus miles per
packet. Ostriches are an alternate carrier that have much greater
bulk transfer capability but provide slower delivery, and require the
use of bridges between domains.

There used to be another RFC for ethernet over wet cat. I cannot for the life of me find it now. If anyone has it, can I have a copy please?
