The little gecko who skitters across my studio ceiling hasn’t been seen for a while. He’s quite good at the stealth thing.

I was at the tech bench, squinting and trying to get all the little wires lined up for Yet Another Bloody RJ-45,

so I could trim and crimp (two 568B ends per cable, and don’t all the little strands want to go everywhere once they’ve been untwisted from their various pairs!) before testing, when…

There was a faint scuttering noice behind me. Out of the corner of my eye, I saw the Quick Brown Lizard retreating.

I managed to dash for the camera: by then he was hidden in a distant corner. There was only time for a couple of rapid pictures before he was gone again.

I’m presuming it’s the same individual lizard, in which case he’s grown a bit. The little chap is about as wide as my index finger-tip across the skull now.

Anyway, I should get back to doing useful stuff. Somebody wants the chair back…
