Day 87

Spent a lot of the day photo editing pictures from a few recent shoots, and got to do some of it sitting out on the deck - big happy :)

Day 82

A WD Mybook 2TB external hard disk drive. It is hugely confusing trying to buy one of these - every model has at least one review that goes "it's the worst drive ever" or suchlike, and as many extolling it as the greatest thing since sliced bread. I bought this because it was in the shop - I don't like the USB only bit, but they had no Firewire or Gigabit ethernet models. It is purely temporary, it has got me out of a hole, and I'm grateful for that.

Day 70

The apple of my i is much happier with its new cool cooing mat. If you have a laptop, you *need* one of these.

Day 33

Qwerty is now accepted as an official word - I got 42 points for playing it in a recent game of Scrabble :)

Day 32

Here is a view of a PCI modem I pulled from an old computer. I think PCBs are fascinating to look at, reminiscent of miniature cityscapes.

iPlod

What a fabulous birthday present! I got it a couple of weeks ago, but have been too busy playing with it to put it on my Blog.

It's an Apple MacBook Pro, with Intel Dual Core 2.6 GHz processor, 4 Gb RAM, high resolution display, and a 200 Gb 7200 RPM disk drive. It is loaded with Adobe CS3 suite and Apple Aperture, and has the marvellous Mighty Mouse.

I'm a happy camper!

(BTW, Plod was the name of my old computer, so this being an Apple is iPlod)
