• Congratulations to deathboy and Liz on Corben the DeathSprog!

Much better today, made it to work and back fine. Tomorrow I shall be out with eyeliner297, er, somewhere. Dev 7pmish, looks like. arkady has secured a rather nice pram (£300 new, £87 on eBay) whose carry-cot should serve as an actual cot up to age six months, which saves a bit of cash in the short term.

Film developing: I think I've asked this before. I have a shitload of oooold films. Like, up to five years, probably old enough to have gone green and funny. Where is a good place to get it developed that (a) don't send films away to be done by mass incompetence (b) can do negative scan CDs simultaneously? I mean, I don't even care about prints if I can get the CDs. Scans are highly fixable.

Medium-old digital camera: I know someone, an exceedingly poor but talented person, who is doing the 365 photos in 365 days thing. They have a digital camera which was just the ticket in 2001 but is sorta lacking these days. It also has a distinct lack of manual controls. I would lend the PowerShot A40 except the interface is horribly bad and I'd lend an Ixus 400 except the non-manual thing. Do any of you gadget freaks have a 2002-or-later camera you can spare that does decent shots and has decent manual control, but whose interface wouldn't make the baby Jesus let out a volley of curse words and throw it against a wall? (Were there any 2002-2004 PowerShots whose interface didn't suck?)
