KittenAuth Test - best human vs bot security ever. (via waxy)

KittenAuth is a new system for human-checking that forgoes all the useless random string crap that people cannot read, and replaces the whole lot with pictures of cute animals.

The current 9*9 design displays 9 pictures and requires that the user clicks 3 pictures of kittens. The location of the kittens in the grid is random and to make things more fun the contents of the pictures changes too.

What to do? Where to go?

Maybe a trip south to Miami? North to Palm Beach? Just Stay home and do laundry, fool on the internet and play with Baron von Newtonstien?

A few basic appointments today... Cleaning lady, Newt's Checkup, but after 1 or so, I should be free. I have wanderlust, but no urge to do any actual walking. Perhaps a bike ride is in order. I'll have it worked out by the time Rosemary leaves.

Whoops, Cleaning lady's going to be here soon, time for me to fix up a bit beforeI head to the porch.

Time for me to vamoose. Until later, dear Journal!

AWW! The KittenAuth is great... I played with it for quite a while to see all the cute animals that come up... baby sloths too! Such a neat idea.

I think I must be temporarily whimsy-free. We always called those "poor man's orchids."

Um, or purple. It keeps changing colors. Or am I worse off than I thought???

You're caught in my mid-experiment... looking to redesign for spring!

Ravenous, spam-eating kittens.

with the help of baby horsies and duckies.

I don't understand what this kitten auth does really---I'm sorry if I'm being dense.

PS the green is very pretty. Obviously I like it--I love green :D

not a bit. :)

it's a sort of security system... humans can pick out which of the 3 squares contain kittens, so they click and can pass... spambots don't comprehend fuzzy cuteness, so they can't continue.

thanks! I'm trying some new colors and shapes out for spring! :D

Oh so you can use the code put it on a page to keep spambots out?

Me too! I want to redo the colors I have for my friends as well but that is a major undertaking.

That's next on my list, too!

While I was sick the other day (and watching random daytime telly) I saw a TV show called "My Place In The Sun" - two men had gone to Florida to buy a holiday home. So there were lots of random shots of sunshine, blue skies, aligators (?), more sunshine, golf courses, the beach.... I want to move to Florida.
They said Florida holds some record or other for most days of sunshine in a row - something like 400? Why did you not tell me this?! I hate cold weather, I hate the winter. I am seriously considering re-locating. Are there any random pensions administration companies near the beach in Florida that you know of?!

man I'm seriously thinking about this... I reckon if I can get some qualifications through my work I could move to Florida in a few years!
