I've been meaning to sort out my study for months. Seriously, months and months. I decided to do it today because there was an accident on the motorway so I couldn't go to the garden centre and I didn't want to waste the keenness to do something. Anyhoo...

There are two large sets of shelves in my study, plus one cupboard, plus a couple of tall sets ( Read more... )

What is this new role of 'secutry' that you speak of so often? Is the PM renaming everything? Or are you all just incapable of enunciating clearly?

Thanks for your attention,

KRs.

Also? This morning's delivery was Sims 3. Uh oh.

It's pretty. And while it's definitely bigger than the last one, I think it's just right in my room.

Also? BBC's Planet Earth looks astonishing. That was an excellent purchase.

Sorry, the pics are fuzzy from uploading.

Went shopping early this morning to get a new telly. Said new telly is a very good Panasonic 32" LCD which will go very nicely in the corner of my lounge and which was £210 off what it was meant to cost. All to do with price matching at John Lewis, which is something I take advantage of as and when I can. Actually, this all came about due to M&D ( Read more... )

It's shocking, I know, but I think someone is about to bring out a phone / PDA mix that will satisfy me. I say 'I think' because it's been announced and there are pretty pictures and a shiny spec but nobody's actually got their hands on one yet to see what it really does. Still ( Read more... )

Got the new laptop yesterday. Why is it I always forget how much time it takes to get a new computer set up to my satisfaction? Still, it's faster, prettier, has more space and more memory than the old (dodgy) one. I've even managed to get some programs working that I thought would have had no chance.

Again!

That's it.I don't trust this machine further than I can throw it. Time for a new laptop. Shopping tomorrow, assuming John Lewis is open. Must write down my requirements list, and I just hope that I can make the software I need work on Vista. *sigh*

Backup, backup, backup. Again.

Blue screen of death! Bugger! The last two times that's happened there's been no hot drinks anywhere near my laptop, so that theory's out of the picture. Currently on the wee laptop to pout about it. Can't even get damn safe mode to boot up at the moment. This is v v v frustrating. I don't want to buy a new laptop, damnit. I'm not ready to try to ( Read more... )

I think I might have found it. The device. The one that does (almost) everything I want. Maybe. Perhaps.

It's the HTC TyTyn II. Review at CNETMy requirements list was ( Read more... )

None of them do what I want them to do. I want a phone that I don't have to charge up every couple of days just because I've used it to make half a dozen phone calls, that I can read and edit documents on, that has wifi and hsdpa and bluetooth and other connectivity options, that will synch with my diary, contacts, notes and so on, that has a touch ( Read more... )
