O his road is dark and lonely. He don't drive no Cadillac.

New photos up: B-Movie: Nice Girls Don't Explode from Friday and down the Dev last Tuesday with arkady and dolly. Please help with missing names. Photo policy. I'm particularly pleased that the camera gives good results with the saturation set to low (cheers to secretlondon), though it resets it every switch-on. But then, it was fifty quid, as I tell myself each time it annoys me. The Dev shots show it doing surprisingly well in low light, particularly with a tripod (though I did crank the gamma way up).

I am hideously enamoured with Mac OS X for being a decent Unix that Just Works, as opposed to the dancing bears of KDE or GNOME. I want my next laptop to be a 12" Powerbook. (Actually I want it to be a 12" MacBookPro, but they don't exist yet.) The prices aren't dropping, though. Dammit.

Today is housework and tidy room day. I've found the soldering iron and just need the solder to attempt the laptop repair. Fingers crossed!

We plan to solve the Valentine's Problem by having a date with Arkady Monday evening and redcountess Tuesday evening. So there.

Note: I am still hardly reading LiveJournal — we can't get it at work any more and I'm far too busy the rest of the time. So be sure to let me know directly of anything important. Has any severely LJ-addicted geek come up with an offline reading solution? That's an idea to ponder.
