Because our IT guy is insane, we're now investigating having a survey for our customers.  He wants it so that we know who replied - we're getting the list of emails from our customer database (assuming that their "Allow emails!" box is ticked, of course), and he wants to be able to see which customer said what.

Underfortunately, I can't find this.  SurveyMonkey tracks IPs, not emails.  phpESP looks promising, but we need the name or email address tracked, is the problem.  Dammit.

Nrr.  I wish I weren't a scatterbrain sometimes; I feel like this could be possible, if only I knew more.

If this works, I'll eat my hat.

To make up for having had an otherwise annoyingly pissy day, I'm going to be fostering a kitty for a few weeks.  Secretly, I'm a bit insane.

I'm writing this out because (a) if I don't, I'll forget (I'm working in ASP and SQL again), and (b) maybe someone has input on things to remember.

( To-dos. )

This is also useful because if this works out, I'll have a feel for how B's kitties react to new kitties (I know how they were with Magic (skittish), but Magic didn't like other kitties, so), and maybe I can help foster more kitties in the future, like I've wanted to do.  See also pet_assistance.

note to self

Who cares what our customers think?? *grumble*

I can has an Ocho!

Poor Ocho got stressed on the way over, and peed in her carrier.  So, her introduction to me was me washing her backside in the tub.  Ohhh man.

When she swipes, she is motherfuckin' fast.  Damn.  That's what I get for moving too quickly.  (She missed me, so that's okay.)

B's cats think I am in-fucking-sane.  Peaches is all poofed up.  Spooky is just like, "Dude.  What?  The hell?"

Right now, Ocho is under the desk, and probably thinks I'm the devil.  But, she's stopped miaowling, and has definitely stopped growling (she was growling because I had my hand on her back to direct her upstairs, I figure), so that's okay.  I'm worried as to how we'll be able to sequester her, given that she's a cat, and not a giant dollop of cat.  (My Magic was many things, but agile != one of them.  That and thin.  Ha ha no.)  Eh, we'll manage.

I moved upstairs to keep her company, should she want it, and now it's back to designing survey software in ASP/MySQL again.  Not that it matters, since WinXP Home doesn't have IIS, but oh well.

Ocho is a goon.  I went to take her picture for B, and she came out and now is head-boofing everything.  She's freaking my shit, to the tune of growling a lot while boofing me.  oO

She knows where the essentials are, though she hasn't used any of them yet.  She's too busy hissing at the carpet.  *amused*  She almost jumped into my lap, eee!

She likes her jaw and chin skritched, and dislikes side and rump.  Classic "Aiee don't touch, maybe!" stuff.  When I take her to the vet, I'm going to ask them to groom her, as she has a leftover clump on her back (the original owners tried trimming it, but I wanted to make sure, but I fear her pointy bits).

And now, I go for beers and karaoke.
