Just got "shaped"

Just got an email from my ISP saying that my service "has been slowed to 256kbps as you've reached your monthly usage allowance."  That allowance is 50 Gb and it won't be unshaped until the 2nd of next month. This has only happened twice in the past since I've had this package, including when I still had boarders.  I have been downloading a LOT this month, including versions of Premiere, a bought copy of Amine Studio Pro, updates to all three Linux/Windows dual boots, and various other programs I was testing. Not to mention amore than a few TV shows and films as well.

So, I can't really complain. It's still faster than dial-up (just).

The Return of Mystery Kitten

Mystery Kitten turned up last night. I believe it's been hiding behind the sofa in the Studio all this time. It was trying to sneak out of that when Theo noticed it. A few hijinks last night when, apparently he chased it into the kitchen. Eventually I took him into the bedroom where I was watching a film and shut the door, allowing kitty to go where ever it wants.

This morning I put a board down as a partition to block of an area near the sofa where it could eat and drink. The fact that it's still here is reassuring. It may have lost its way, but it seems comfy in my home, regardless of Theo and possibly Xena (Bobby and Gabby seem indifferent to it). So, if it wants to be here I might, after all, adopt it. We'll see. I bought some dry kitten food today, just in case.

If it's a boy I'll call it Buster, and a girl I'll call it Misty.
