Well, we had my mother over for two weeks May of last year, and found we could almost but not quite do all the cool stuff in that span of time; and we've found more restaurants since.
The porcupine in question sits up a tree, staring into space; blinks occasionally, so one can tell it's still alive, and evn more occasionally moves its head. First time I was there with my team, my database curator took one look at it and said "It's designing a database." I knew that my most intense moments of work can sometimes look as though I'm staring into space thinking "Want doughnut now", but not that it had made that much of an impression on my team.
Oh well. Whenever it does come down out of the design high it's going to have something really amazing to show us.
