My OTHER blog

Just an FYI...

I do have another blog, indeed, another website. www.mikesjunkyard.com. It's my experimental site. I use it to experiment with software. The current site is written in Euphoria and runs as CGI via Apache 2. It is up and down (whenever I need to connect to our company network, all other traffic is blocked), but mostly up. If you would like to see some of the source code check out the links page there.

Anyway, I reserve that site to do more with computers and programming, sometimes other things. I also post my own product reviews there.

That's all! Have a nice day!

Boots molted!

Wow. It seems like forever since her last molt.

FINALLY (yesterday WHILE I WAS WORKING, just 4 feet from her) she molted. And I missed it. Arg! Anyway, she is so drop dead gorgeous!

I am letting her harden up a bit then I think I will take her out and get some nice photographs of her. She is such a pretty spider.

OH! Boots is my Brachypelma emilia. A Mexican Red Leg tarantula. Her abdomen has been the size of a golf ball for half a year. Took a long time, probably has to do with the seasons? I don't know. She is a Northern Hemisphere spider, and it has been Winter...

Anyway, I will post the pics when I take them in my tarantula gallery (on my .mac account).
