Hello!

The Christmas goat is back - live 'goatcam' is here:

Now I feel the pressure - can I get pics of the new pre-amp online before the goat ignites?


Thansk!

Was just about to post 'All Hail the Goat' and celebrate its return, but having now had a quick look at the goatcam, I have a bad feeling about the apparent absence of anything goat- (or even terrier-) shaped, and the way the ground looks kind of blackish...

Oh woe...

    Hello!

    What a relief! Thanks for that update. I was so emotional about the recent demise of 'Goat 2005 MK I' that I have not been able to sit and watch the webcam like I usually do.


    Thanks!

    John

    Hello!

    Per Arne (who first introduced me to the goatcam a few years back) just sent this description of the buggers who took down the first goat this year:


    "Hi John,
    There were two men, dressed as Santa and a ginger cookie man, who fired burning arrows at the previous goat, and then quickly disappeared in the alleys.  But, now it's rebuilt again."


    I will not be able to get any work done today - I can't get that image out of my head......


    Thansk!

    So, trying hard to be patient with the wait... Oh boy, I want to see the new stuff!

    What happened with the 2nd Christmas goat?
