Tabi’s siblings, Todd and Leila, have come to stay with us for a couple of months. Here is Leila with Nadia, shortly after she came out from hiding behind the couch:

She’s been a mix of happy and pissed. The video shows her happily eating food and being affectionate, but at the same time hissing and growling, even biting me at one point. Her brother is still under the bed, and has been there for the past 24 hours.
On a not-so-related topic, I was invited to the MSN Soapbox beta, Microsoft’s answer to YouTube. I find the interface of the service to be superior to Youtube and Google Video, but not by a lot. Since everyone and their mother uses Youtube, I figured that I’d be different and go with the new service.
Over the past few months at work I’ve been focused on WordPress, particularly in the area of plugins. As much as I like this CMS, I find it to be terribly limited. Every problem I run across needs a user-contributed plugin to solve it; one of those issues is the inclusion of videos that use Flash-based players like YouTube. I came across an excellent plugin named Viper’s Video Quicktags. This plugin allows for easy insertion of all sorts of video formats, including YouTube and Google Video.
This is the part where I bring these seemingly random topics together: I uploaded Leila’s video to Soapbox, and then realized that the video plugin didn’t support it. I made some minor edits to the plugin to support it, and the above is the result of my work. Now I have to send the source code over to the author. Maybe it could be included in the next version of the plugin.
Nice. Its a clear and smooth video. Why was she so Anti-social, the cat, I’m talking about the cat. She got a good chunk out of ya there. Is she all right and hows the interaction with the other fellow felines. I notice they weren’t around.
Well Bro, another plug well placed and executed. Keep it up, its looks awsome. I may have to steal it from ya. By the way, what Camera were you using?
You don’t recognize this cat??? Funny…we took her and the other two from your house some years back!
I recognize her. I’ll never forget what you and Will did for her and siblings. Its ok, its been a while. She lookes a lot like her Brother Midnight. Only he wasn’t so aggressive. I never really said thank you to you and Will, So Thank you. thank you for providing a home for them and taking care of em.
I was just asking why she was acting like that. Thats all. Sorry if I hit a nerve.
You goober! I wasn’t angry, just letting you know that you have a connection to this cat.
We will have them for at least the next 2 months. If you are able to visit us again, you will be able to see for yourself just how cute they are.
lol, ok Nad. I got you. I’ll try and stop in before they leave.
