Sally &amp; I installed a &#8220;Doggy Door&#8221; in the garage so he now has free range with Martin&#8217;s tools and HAM radio.<\/p>\n<p>The latest on consumption of media:<br \/>\nFirst off- <a href=\"http:\/\/www.serenitymovie.com\">Serenity<\/a> is the best Sci-Fi film evah. I&#8217;m fixin&#8217; to do a fully-fledged review. But in the meantime, see it. <br \/>\nAm nearing the end of Pratchett&#8217;s latest paperback- Going Postal, and is something of a return to form for him. Thoroughly enjoyable.<\/p>\n<p>The latest on <em>boring<\/em> tech stuff (seriously, skip this):<br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/g_w_y_n\/49434781\/\" title=\"Photo Sharing\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/static.flickr.com\/31\/49434781_726a39e44d_o.jpg\" width=\"320\" height=\"240\" alt=\"Last photo taken with me PDA before it went for repair again\" hspace=\"4\" vspace=\"3\"><\/a>I was more than happy to get my PDA working again and even had a 1GB SD card full of episodes of QI on it which I&#8217;d started to watch. I was starting to remember my American dictionary two-letter Scrabble word s better too. Anyroad, the screen suddenly went blank, the controls sluggish, next thing I knew it was powering off and refusing to come back to life. It&#8217;s going back to Texas today hopefully for a replacement and not another sub-par repair. If it happens again I&#8217;m going to angle for a new Treo.<\/p>\n<p>Sally&#8217;s laptop- the saga continues. First off, it wasn&#8217;t connecting to the interweb and wouldn&#8217;t let me reinstall ME to fix it. Its internal floppy and CD-ROM don&#8217;t work, but i have an external CD-ROM so I managed to install XP on it. Then I partitioned off another section to install ME back on it, planning to remove the XP part later.., it rebooted with the (blank) ME partition in DOS, and now i can&#8217;t do nowt &#8216;cos it can&#8217;t use the USB CDROM nor the internal, nor the floppy. It&#8217;s now in pieces on the table and I&#8217;m going to take it to Downey Computer Repairs to see if they can fish the (impossible to find) hard drive out of it then give me a 44-40 pin adapter to install ME on it with my desktop. It&#8217;s frustrating stuff. <\/p>\n<p>Sorry &#8217;bout all that. Still aiming to get round to emails but there&#8217;s tons to do (and more webdesignery in the offing- I&#8217;m learning about Online Shopping Carts&#8230;) and until our plans coalesce there&#8217;s nowt much to say. Hang on in there, and in the absence of postings on this blog, have a gander&#8217;s at <a href=\"http:\/\/jamesawshaw.livejournal.com\/\">James Shaw&#8217;s blog<\/a> which is extremely well written when it&#8217;s not about sport, which is, however you dress it, sport.<\/p>\n<p>Also, coming soon to these pages: Anecdotes. I don&#8217;t have nearly enough anecdotes and need to work on some. It&#8217;s not enough to travel the world and come back with pretty photos and a blanket description of yer travels. So I&#8217;m going to work on some tales. This is partially inspired by Adam and Joe&#8217;s XFM radio show and the incredible oral history tradition that runs through the Cambell family. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The latest on the move: Not sure whether we can do the trip up North- funds and other stuff are making things tricky.
