OK, I don’t know if this is the 547th post but my updates are sporadic at best.<\/p>\n
So, what have I been doing over the last couple of weeks? Not a great deal really other than visiting people the last couple of weekends.<\/p>\n
The Saturday before last I popped down to Rachel, Graham and Chris’ place for a nice, relaxing day with tea, crumpets and flapjacks.<\/p>\n
This weekend, after drying out from the drenching I got cycling home, I drove up to Liverpool on Friday evening and was introduced to two cats by Lindsey and Andrew. Saturday was consumed by a museum visit, Christmas tree wrangling and decoration hanging. Whilst yesterday included human kite flying (almost) and a visit to a water powered cotton mill run by the National Trust before a drive back home again.<\/p>\n
Hmm, what else? Oh yes, I’m now a proud owner of a 2.6GHz MacBook Pro, which arrived a week earlier than predicted. i.e. marginally less than a month after I ordered it rather than slightly more than a month. It’s very shiny, in a brushed aluminium sort of way and weighs the same as the iBook G4. It’s replacing, with the help of Bootcamp & Parallels, both the iBook and the Acer laptop, which I used for mobile Linux and, when down in Cornwall, as a games machine. I “merely” have to transfer all the data and applications now.<\/p>\n
Oh, while I’m at it.. MacOS X 10.5’s great except for a few things:<\/p>\n
Oh, and if you think that I’m being partisan about knocking Apple… Microsoft Genuine Disadvantage is the spawn of several devils as well.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
