Now that I have had my Asus EEE for a week and have taken it for a test run in the field I think it's time to jot down some thoughts.
The EEE pc is one of the most satisfying buys ever. It weighs nothing. I don't even feel I'm carrying it. ...

Oh why didn't I get one of these yonks ago? These Canon photo printers don't really cost all that much and the quality is just stunning. I splashed out on the 'pro' type photo paper and an extra set of ink cartridges that should last me a good while.
It's fun ...

Spending money before you've got it... to be able to earn it. That's what I did today. I have been working on a website for a colleague the last couple of weekends. It's been tough because the house has been drafty and cold - not the ideal circumstances to sit ...

The first item I've ever put up on eBay was grabbed up in no time, but already it's become the ordeal I feared auctioning off my stuff would be. I offered ordinary P&P options but the buyer contacted me to ask if I could courier them the item. I was ...

I'd never been keen on them anyway, these 'modern' tennis shoes are higher around ...

Recently I saw that footage of President Bush mocking an American journalist for speaking French. (transcript) I'd heard of the incident, but not seen it yet.

The EOS 300d is mine. Only it isn't.
Read if you want to share in my consumer angst.

6A have listened to their users and changed their licenses accordingly. Since I personally had no big problems with their initial plans, I can only be even more appreciative of the current ones - they fit all of my sites just fine.
I can't wait for the personal edition of 3.0 ...

The idea was to hand over my poor decrepit 'mountain bike' over to the bicycle repair 'cooperation' around the corner. It's been sitting on my balcony gathering dust (from the demolition work at the back of the house) and getting a bit rusty - its tires cracked and flat.
