Skippy, the Omega Dog! Freedom - thanks to the new "Dogwatch" fence
By Andrew Pollack on 05/17/2009 at 10:01 PM EDTHere's a slideshow....
Skippy is learning the limits and enjoying the freedom offered by the new "Dogwatch" fence.
Dogwatch is a competitor to "Invisible Fence" but we believe it to be more reliable, less likely to trigger in error, and much less expensive over time.
The system uses a buried antenna wire in a loop around the house. The dog is warned with a beep if he approaches within 5 feet of the wire. If he gets closer, he gets a small shock.
If you train the dog carefully, he understands the warning, and that the shock is related to the limits of his range - so he's not afraid of it.
As you can see, Skippy isn't the least bit afraid to be near, but inside the permitted range. He really likes being off the leash this way.

I'm writing this to share it with you, so you can be saved the work I've been doing. The feature I wanted (and still want) is for file resources that use the new editors (e.g. CSS, HTML, JAVASCRIPT) to allow "" values or at least some form of tokenization to allow you to include things like "@webdbname" and profile document values in ......

One thing that's hard to do at present with the CKEditor when you integrate with Domino, is handle the built in browsing/uploading/embedding for file attachments, images, flash, and so on.

- 02/14/2010Great weekend sleddingI'm from "away" -- a term which in Maine speak means that I wasn't born here, and while I've been here for nearly 20 years I am very easily spotted as a non-native to pretty much anyone with long time family roots in the area. Being from away, there are things I just hadn't had a chance to do that most Mainer's take for granted. This weekend, I got the chance to scratch a few of those off the list. These included going 'upta camp', being significantly north of Bangor, and spending a fair bit of time on a ......
