On holiday and reveling in it. Sitting on the couch with music playing on the Mac. I suppose I should be hacking on the blog theme.

arkady's new job is actually halfway between PFY and Jen from The IT Crowd (with less shoes and more ability to work a computer) and includes the word "manager" in the title. She is rather enjoying it. Also racking up appalling quantities of CV keywords.

The video card in the gaming laptop died, which is something the model seems prone to. So she got an HP DV7-3112SA from eBay, which was about £600 new and she got it for £175 since it was badly cracked from being dropped. But working and with a 45-day warranty. And it's rather shiny. If we can fix (baking apparently works) or replace the video card, it would also make a very nice replacement for Freda's ancient Mac G4.
