New shuttle has been dispatched. Should have it to play with tomorrow :oD Gonna be all Fedora goodness. Oh yeah and my books on learning Icelandic and Icelandic Grammar should arrive soon too :oD

Busy weekend. Not because I did anything, but because all my toys arrived at once!!! Friday, the Graphite Nintendo DS turned up, so mucho Zoo Keeper playing from then. The Resident Evil 4 Chainsaw controller for Chris’ GameCube arrived so the rest of the weekend was spent playing that. Then I had a migraine yesterday [...]

Well, I’ve had to cancel my order with Play-Asia. It seems they won’t accept my order unless I e-mail them a copy of my passport or photo-driver’s license. Which will be some mean feat because I don’t possess either of those things, and don’t intend to fork out for them any time soon either. Lik-Sang [...]

The HTPC is now alive. Not fully functional as I don’t yet have a spare HDD to run MythTV, and I’ve only got 256MB of RAM in there. MediaPortal is very nice for a free Windows app. Got it logging straight in & starting up. I just have to configure the remote I have to [...]

Oooh gettin’ down with nature, err… or similar. But Boo Hiss at work. They are trying to make me go to Newcastle on Wednesday. Not [...]

Can anyone recommend a good cheap-ish Digital SLR? The main thing I want is good optical zoom. I have a canon A70, which is great for close-ups, but appalling at anything more than a few feet away. I want to take pictures of wildlife & stuff, so really need a good crisp zoom. John Lewis [...]

Briefly: It arrived! \o/ I got an IBM ThinkPad from IBM the next day too – \o/ (I am now Borg. I am an “IBMer” *cringe* sounds better than being a Civil Servant though). I have many laptops now, kna named them all for me. I am going down the pub tonight & leaving early [...]

Apple still have my PowerBook… I want it. I want it nooooooow! The PowerBook would be good now too ;o)

I’ve been neglecting the LJ. Sorry. Well, up until today I’ve been pretty happy: ADSL got activated 3 days early \o/; I got a Wireless Router & had the iPaq working on it & my parents’ PC; I ordered a 12″ PowerBook :oD… but now: the router is shit – it freezes, crashes, port-forwarding stops [...]
