TODAY 20071031: Will NMP sue poet for defamation?

This mostly another sidetrack into the Gay Debate saga. What’s more interesting is the bit on public sharing opinions – good bit of legalese for blogging minions to know.
Actually, I rather prefer this article: MP’s Grave To Be NEWater Plant.

Don’t Worry… I Fix What You Did To Your Computer

A moment for smiles. From Itcmo.com

Special kitties

Can you see Hope? He’s a special kitty lingcat rescued and is looking for a home.

Go to this blog entry on Dawn’s blog and see how active and lively this kitten is. You can also see all of lingcat’s posts on him here.
I do believe what Dawn observed about the special ones.
Look at Max, Born [...]

TODAY 20071031: The generosity trap

As the saying goes, there is a difference between providing a man a fish vs a fishing rod… or as we prefer, a square of beancurd vs the tofu-making manual.

TODAY 20071031: Going clean and green

Wow, finally the act is starting to gel… or is it? As with all things authority-related, I’ll adopt a wait-and-see view. But I do note another cosmic case of parallelism, chiefly the formation of a dedicated taskforce with a nerve centre. Exactly what our pet and homeless animals need vis-a-vis the current pet dog problem… [...]

TODAY 20071030: Gay Debate Crying Out For The Majority Voice

Aside from the latest repartee to the HDB Pet Rules debate, this article, “Gay Debate Crying Out For The Majority Voice” (*) caught my eye too. A lot has been said about the brouhaha, from both camps, but what about the-ones-in-the-between – the big fat 90++ percent middle layer squashed between the two vocal camps?
Isn’t [...]

TODAY 20071030: Legislate behavioural training for pets

Well, finally, we see a positive letter in the HDB pet rules debate (Large dogs: Time for a rethink). This was sent in by a friend, and it’s heavily edited. Appended is her original, intact letter. Still, better than no letter speaking up for the pet dogs and cats in our midst!
More importantly, if [...]

TNRM issues

We’ve said this about: TNRM – it can succeed, with cooperation and support. Today Dawn blogged about one very important aspect that can make or break the cats’ chances of eking out a living among us:  Management
Ask yourself this question Dawn asked in relation to the complaint she’s handling:
How else can two pretty similar estates, which [...]

Dogs, cats and SaaS

Stumbled on this interesting post by Isabel Wang about the effort she needed to put in just to faciliate online participation for her friends, family and causes she believes in.
I found myself nodding my head in agreement about this bit:
While volunteering at the animal shelter, I’ve noticed there tends to be clear dividing lines between [...]

We missed checking up on Saba since. This is her yesterday, after we finished with the Area 3 breakfast service.
