Fair warning: Incoming gratuitous cat photos. I've been editing a bunch of shots I took 12-15 years ago. Two friends of mine (who are now married and have son about to turn eight) lived in an apartment in a former mill town. They had two cats. Ozzie was a Russian Blue and exhibited the characteristics of his breed. He was inquisitive, always tuned into what the silly humans were doing, but also very independent. He was not a lap cat. The other kitty was Mauro, who ...a bit heavyset (he was an absolute chonker) and possibly the extreme example of a polydactyl cat I have ever seen. Ozzie's antics were legendary and I took many photos of him "helping" me DJ. These four I posted when I took them in the spring of 2010: Note the first photo being used as the wallpaper in this shot. Ozzie helping me wire up my Korg Z1's MIDI connections. I mentioned in another thread that Kate (one half of the couple mentioned above) had a birthday on the 11th of this month. I had plans (of the "mice and men") variety to send her a bunch of photos from early 2010s on her birthday, but it took me a week to finish editing them. I mean, I'm still editing them, but that's another matter. All of the above were photos I edited and posted around the time they were taken. The following are newly edited. In August of 2010, we (and by "we" I mean "me and I have no idea who else") did a "photo shoot" with Ozzie and some accessories: Ozzie was mostly cooperative (not a guaranteed thing) an held still while we placed smokes, Snapple, a phone and some kibble in front of him. Another shot of Ozzie with wallpaper Ozzie behind him. I used the 50mm DoF separate the actual cat from the photo of him, but still keep the latter recognizable. Ozzie, warming himself on the exhaust fan of a Windows laptop. He's got his paws on a USB battery. Part of the "Where is your god meow?" series I did with Ozzie. Circle cat could use a good brushing, but I wouldn't recommend trying it. Ears back momentarily, for aerodynamics. Mauro being chill, which was his normal state. He was very stead in a windstorm. Tune in next time for pre-civil war bridges!

Seems legit!

Buckingham Nicks by Buckingham Nicks (1973) https://album.link/bm8z6jfzcrdrs Example: Happy to see it given some attention. Been a fav for many years.

Does this make Stretch an honorary musician?

In case you're interested. Wiki: The album was a commercial failure on its original release,[8][9] and despite the duo's subsequent success, it remained without a commercial remaster or digital re-release for over five decades.[10] It was revealed on July 22, 2025, that the album had been remastered and would be released on CD, vinyl, and streaming September 19, 2025.[11] Rhino Records will handle distribution.[12]

¡Feliz cumpleaños! What bike are you buying yourself for your birthday?

Hello, testing CFA3P here, seems to work fine, but it is running really hot at 150mA bias, wanted 250mA bias, but this impossible with used sinks. Powered with 30V PS. Do I need to change some values to run it with lower bias than designed 500mA? Thank you!

Happy birthday, Stretch!
