Blink and you miss it
A third of the year just flew by…….
So what happened?
I got busy at work, busy at home, and celebrated our 19th Wedding Anniversary with a weekend in Sydney where we did the Harbour Bridge Climb. For anniversary presents (other than leaving the kids behind with their Nana - thanks Mum!) my wife got a huge jigsaw and I got a book entitled “Thrill Power Overload - Thirty Years of 2000AD“. Splundig Vur Thrigg as Tharg would say.
Ohh and the 10 free redemption movies from Toshiba finally turned up more than 4 months after I claimed them and they were a pile of poo like Blades of Glory and Nacho Libre.
Got myself a shining new Dell 2707WFP screen (very impressive) this week for $800, and have been gradually swapping out the storage drives in my PC and the HTPC for 1 Gigabyte Western Digital Green Power drives.
It’s time for a new laptop for me as my old T41p used by my daughter has expired (fan and a number of other parts have failed) so I’m donating my T60 15″ (non widescreen) to her and looking for a new laptop for myself (I am still able to salary sacrifice as it is for business purporses). At the very moment I’m waiting for the 14 July to roll-in when the new Intel chipset are released along with the new models from the vendors. In the running is either a T400 (Lenovo are changing the naming scheme on Thinkpads) or possibly an X300.
