Those aren't rats, they're squirrels without the bushy tails.

Interesting. I pruned trees some time ago to keep the rats out but to no
avail. Then one evening I saw one running along the overhead telephone
wire like a tightrope walker. Amazing that they can keep their balance.
I just chuck a couple of opened packets of Rattex in the ceiling when I
hear a rat.

I've spent the last couple of days making sure I've got backups of
EVERYTHING and that I've made a list of all the product keys &
activation codes for the programs I use. I was planning to tackle the
job on Thursday.
Good luck :)
I just had to rebuild a machine from backups this week. My home Linux
server had a memory module go bad and it crapped all over the filesystem
to the extent it was completely unrecoverable. Fsck found so many
problems it had to expand /lost+found several times, and at the end I
was left with a big pile of filesystem spaghetti, eg /etc became a
symlink to some random file in /lib.
I realised there was technically no need for hardware anymore so I set
up another Virtualbox instance on my laptop, installed Debian and
restored what I could from my very limited backups. If I'd had a full
backup it would have been a lot quicker but it's probably for the best
as I'm on a newer OS version.
Today I had the pleasure of running DBAN on it and will take it to be
recycled at some stage. I was sure to return my good DIMM to the old
scanner machine :)
Later on I have the pleasure of crawling around the roof removing all of
the network cables as I'll no longer have a need for them once I move a
phone socket, which I'll do at the same time. I hope the rat in the
ceiling has either left or been tempted by the traps! (Last weekends
job was to trim the lemon tree so the bastards can't get up there anymore.)
Cheers,
Dave
