  • LAN parties. I remember the first time I could connect two PC together. It was Doom, with a serial-to-serial cable. We were two players on the same fucking map. It was awesome!

    Then coax cable networks with friends. We used to have two or three different networks during a LAN party since you could not disconnect the coax cable to add a player without stopping the current games. The players arrived later would plug a new network just for them, and launch a game waiting the first players to finish theirs.





  • I have tried nearly everything. Chili powder or black pepper only works until the next dew.

    I tried a special spray, it’s useless.

    The only thing that worked for me to cover the whole garden was special grains made of wood and black pepper oil. You can throw it around the garden and it last one or two weeks.

    For raised planter bed, I put nets originally used to cover trees for birds not to eat the fruits. It can be cut to any size and cats don’t like to walk on it. Some issues :

    • it’s fragile. You need to replace it after one or two years.
    • plants go through the net. It’s hard to remove then.
    • once there was a tiny bird in it. I found it soon enough for it not to starve.
