That's gotta be useful for them
.... they can look in the other's ear when in a 'senior moment' they forget the other's name.

Mine are getting that way - they're 7 years old, and comfortably middle-aged. The zoomies are getting a little slower, 25 mph instead of 30-35.

perhaps you should tattoo your name in your ear too... in case they start to forget you

Microchipping dogs is a legal requirement in the UK (with £500 fines) once they reach 8 weeks old.
It's not compulsory for cats, but our last three have been, and they have never gotten lost as a result (just to be bloody minded about the whole affair, I suspect).

I posted last night that my port to TypeScript worked first time, first compile. It was a fairly major reworking and I was literally lying awake at 3 in the morning wondering what I'd screwed up that caused it to work
(brief pause while I reflect on the absurdity of that sentence and our developer lives in general)
It turns out I'd still been referencing the old code, not the new code, in one crucial component. Fixed this and the whole house of cards came crashing down in a fiery J.J. Abrams Michael Bay style ball of flame.
I'm so relieved.
cheers

I think you mean Michael Bay.
JJ Abrams is the constant lens flare guy.

So he was calling lens flare when he should have been calling explosion?
That explains the errors.
