You can sign the condolences book in the Beehive too.

So Kate the Mac has come to live at our house. I like the Mac packaging and make a special point of getting a photo taken with it. That’s how much it impresses me.

Later, I begrudgingly acknowledge that I also quite like the Mac.

But wait, what’s this? Larry the IBM (who looks rather unimpressed with Kate the Mac) can always connect to the wireless router. While Kate looks cool, she’ll have to endure having a poxie Dick Smith Electronics USB wireless adapter sticking out of her as OSX can’t reliably connect to the router like every other wireless enabled device in the house (that’s a Linux laptop, and two mobile phones, and various other random laptops that turn up wanting to bludge our bandwidth).

Movember: a good cause, a baaaad look.

October was painting month, we did two rooms.

At least that’s over!

Next step, pictures on the wall.
