I spank my cat all the time! Of course, I use a virtual paddle on my iPhone. It's called iSpank. And, whoa, is it silly. Check it out:

I discovered the lack of permalinks on things the other week when I had a status update of my own full of comments which I was looking to link to.

Forunately, I get email alerts of such things - which DO contain permalinks. Why they don't put that link on the site is beyond me.

Hehe, glad to hear it wasn’t you!

Upon viewing the video I am pretty sure i wasn’t alone in thinking “sooooo, that’s how it goes down in Chez Battelle”

>>When looking for traffic, spank your cat.
This isn't just an amusing apercu. Cat-spanking will always outpull heavy shit, and what online publisher isn't looking for traffic? When newspapers die, and when whatever news-gathering remains is supported by clicks, what kind of news will we be left with?

The "permalink lameness" from Facebook is something called hash-based navigation for faster page loads. Facebook serves up a specially optimized site for Firefox users that will only load the part of that page that has changed (through Ajax.) This technique leads to a snappier site and reduced bandwidth costs.

People love it when you mix felines with technology.

One of the comments that generated the most feedback was my update, "updated my post that the Windows 7 Beta is available now, which coincided with our cat whoofing its cookies."

Go figure.
