Pretty pretty birds

Hard to be productive when you've got a cockatiel who is fascinated by the middle buttons of your mouse and is bound and determined to either bite them or lick them off. He's really trying. Muffin also is fond of telephone cords, mouse cords, the edges of mouse pads and coffee mugs. He has yet to master the whole "edge of the desk" concept, and has tumbled into Daddy's lap more than a few times.

Oops. He just "claimed" the mouse. Hopped onto it, spread his wings as far as he could and waved himself around. If he thinks I'm going to stop using it, he's gonna be disappointed....

Now he's atop the phone and biting my S-Video cable...okay, he just claimed the phone. And flapped his wings for a good minute, blowing millet seed into everything in the room. He's so proud of himself. Earlier he heard Tiny and Moosie squawking up a storm and chirped out to them. Too cute.

Back to the original point. After months -- really, over a year -- of meaning to update TinyMoo.com, I finally did so. Bigger, higher-res. Page detects if cam is on or not, and if so, turns on auto-refresh. Thinking about adding feature to set rate of refresh via cookie, as ten seconds may be too much for some people....

And now Muffin is making a chirp/trill I've not heard before. He sounds very happy. And eating the phone cord again. Hrm.
