According to scientists and animal behaviorists, cats are supposed to sleep
for 16 hours a day.
Apparently, Clyde never read the reports. Though he was certainly fond of naps, he
was an energetic little kitty, and his computer studies demanded his attention more
than his dreams.
Although Clyde was napping every day when C.H.U., (Clyde's Human Unit) went
to work to earn money to buy cat treats, he often woke up shortly thereafter
and went to work at the computer. It seems that Clyde was fascinated by the
process of time-dating files. Ever since his printer driver discovered a way
of scattering 34 "printing in process" icons all over his desktop
(even though the printer wasn't hooked up), Clyde must have been pursuing
the elusive technique of creating "surprise" files.
So, it was an amazing discovery when a folder, called the Clyde Codex, appeared
on the computer desktop of C.H.U. in November, four months AFTER Clyde crossed
the Rainbow Bridge!
Could the kitty have returned from beyond, now in possession of the computer system
files? Was his spirit trapped in the Internet, and had somehow gotten locked in the
Internet browser? Would the printer driver ever tire of cloning multiple "printing
in process" icons?
The answer to these, and some other intriguing questions is: Who Knows?
But, what is now known, from this amazing digital discovery, is that Clyde was one
busy kitty!
Here is what was written in the all-important READ ME file that came included
in the Clyde Codex folder that appeared on C.H.U.'s desktop (NOTE: this information
only applies to C.H.U., and is provided to help you understand what is going
on here!):
"If you are reading this file, then Clyde Codex has gone active, and you have received the first of many data files necessary for the progress and growth of ClydeSight2.0!
These invisible files and folders have been hidden within the tracks of the main drive, with time-date stamps to issue their release at the appropriate time. Do not attempt to purge them from the system unless you have made a back-up!
The magnificent Clyde Adventures transcend time itself, and a collection of records has been digitized, along with the all important MIDI Clyde Tune files, into this system of programs called Clyde Codex.
At the appropriate time, Clyde Codex will release new data for posting in ClydeSight2.0! on the Internet.
You will, of course, drop everything and post them as required and according to the instructions provided.
After the first of the Clyde Codex files is released onto the Internet, the program will become self-maintaining. Clyde Codex will continue to release new data to the C.H.U. desktop at the appropriate times. Look for new, and unintentional icons on your desktop. Do not purge them unless the printer driver has gone "clone mad" and cluttered the desktop with those annoying "printing in process" icons.
C.B.P."
This, of course, explains the astronomical electrical
bills that C.H.U. began to receive during the early summer.
At least that mystery has been solved. But many new ones take
its place:
What
strange and fascinating things had Clyde dreamed up (so to
speak--since he wasn't asleep when he created the files) for
his fans on the Internet?
What
is contained in the peculiar, "Happy Birthday" Time
Travel Clyde adventure that took place in the 18th Century,
and just whose birthday did Clyde feel was important enough
to celebrate (other than his own)?
How
many Clyde Codex files will appear on C.H.U.'s desktop?
Will
the printer driver ever stop making those "Printing in
Process" icons?
Only time will tell, and only true Clyde fans will ever
know, as, in the months and years to come, these enigmatic
little cat programs reveal themselves.
Clyde's inspiration is eternal. Hopefully, so is C.H.U.'s
disk drive.
"Clyde Big Paws, keep the memory alive."
