Raven was here again.

It's been a while, but I was working on a Visual Studio install for one of my users when I heard croaking noises. Thought it might possibly have been someone nearby suffering sinus congestion, but.... nope. Looked up and out the front window. BIG black bird, fingerlike wing feathers, wedge-shaped rather than fan shaped tail, and a wee bit of the croaking right before he or she (I can't spot most birds' sexes without a LOT of sexual dimorphism, ok?) flew over my rooftop and out of sight.

I should put out some shiny objects or food or something as a welcome-back-it's-been-a-while present. I realize they'll probably get grabbed by raccoons long before the ravens show up again but it's the spirit of the thing.

Y'know, if I have to install a program on my colleagues' computers for application development purposes, I don't generally expect to see even an open-source program include the line 'software is like sex, it's better when it's free' on the license agreement page.
