Writing Xmess cards. I know I didn't do a list, though redcountess did. Next year we PRINT LABELS. You know, having a PRINTER and all.

I came home from w*rk utterly buggered. (I did the ufsrestore before nicking off. Tomorrow I discover if it worked!) Met arkady at Borders and grabbed my new ... shiny thing! She'd spotted it on sale (£50, down from £70) in Maplin and asked if I'd like one. HELL YES. It's the same shiny thing as hers and I am very pleased. I still have two dead cameras I have vague notions of reviving (Casio EX-M2, Canon Digital Ixus v2) and two old and crusty ones (Canon PowerShot A40, which jargontoshiya laid claim to and has yet to arrange to fetch, and Fujitsu A202). But this thing. It's five megapixels, its low light performance is fantastic, it does umass, it does MPEGs with sound that play fine on Ubuntu and it's a cheap and cheerful generic gadget churned out in a Chinese factory. It only lacks optical zoom. And it's real small. What's not to like?
