Ssscat is what I would lovely call, “A automated bitch who does what you don’t have time to do”. Which, in my opinion is freak your cats out and reinforce positive behaviour. You can read all sorts of marketing about Ssscat; but, you really just have to buy one and use it to get the real effect. You could also watch one of these handy clips I took to see how well it works. In the first one Aden (orange tabby) is caught for the first time… never to return as of yet. The second clip is Mona for a second time, and has already learned that beeping leads to hissing. So, with out much further rambling, the videos.

If it doesn’t play you will probably need… this DivX.

Oky, purchased this on a whim at Futureshop last night. Got home and got everything setup. Had to wait two hours to charge the battery. An interesting product to say the least. You can check out the specs and such here: Sonorix.com.

I noticed the release for FrogPad about a year ago. Seemed like a good idea, but a lack of reviews from people who do that kind of stuff I do kinda kept me away. It turns out that people do in fact use these for coding, gaming and all around typing. At any rate, now that they have them for bluetooth and left hands… well it seems to make alot of sense. So anyways, if anyone wants to buy me won, eXpansys has them for a decent price. Remember, bluetooth and left handed.

Most of those close to me get the best of my rants. In the past I have ranted about the evil of banks and the credit system. While I understand the justifications for some of the factors they use in determining credit risk; some of them also confuse the hell out of me. In a search for some way of knowing how lenders look at me and say, “Oh God no, we won’t borrow you money,” I found FICO. If you don’t know what a FICO score is, I suggest going here. There are a few online self-marking fico score calculators as well.
