I have my Mac.

And that is that, there isn’t much more to say, I simply have it.

I plugged it in, and it all seemed to work. The apple keyboard is taking a little getting used to, but having USB on it is nice. I now need to go and play with it some more

I want my Mac!

It seems that apple hate me. When I’ve ordered things for other people, they’ve arrived reasonably swiftly. I order something for myself, and even the shipping takes over a week.

It’s not even in the country yet.

I thought a shiny new Mac Mini would improve my productivity. So far it’s just killed it as I’ve waited at home all week hoping for it to appear.

Just another Manic* Monday [*not manic]

Forgot about my blog. As such, all the disinteresting things that haven’t happened to me have been lost. This is a shame, so they’re provided here

Last Thursday was the first TKD demo. Went well enough. Dosed up on caffeine and sugar beforehand so I was sufficiently hyper. All good.
Saturday was back to the traditional Seven Stars lunch with Dave and Gareth. Sunday was the fresher’s squash, which involved me standing outside in the rain for *far* too long. Went home and read a book in the evening. Today was work, and that’s going reasonably well for a change.

On average: good few days.

SHINEEEEY THINGS

Goods from Amazon finally arrived yesterday, taking a mere 3 days for ‘next day delivery’. Anyway. Both are very shiny and appear to work, which is a Good Thing(tm).
Hurt my knuckles a bit by failing to put my fist through a breaking board last night. Yes this was probably foolish, no I won’t do it again (for a while). I thought it was a good idea to get some breaking practise in, in advance of next month’s competition. I was wrong. I shalln’t be as silly again
I now have a dual-head (two monitors) setup at work, which is nice, although one of them is a rather fuzzy old monitor that I need to find a replacement for quite soon.

Electrical Goodies.

Well, last night I finally ordered my Digital Camera and Digital Video Camera. I paid for Next Day Deliver on Sunday. Amazon’s estimated delivery date: Wednesday/Thursday. I’m hoping they’re lieing and they’re really more competent than that, although I’ve been noticing them getting less competent over the last few months.
Also. yes; I’ve started playing The Sims 2 a little.
