September 28, 2003

September 23, 2003

Better half bought me a pair of natty new headphones to complement my iPod – Sennheiser MX500’s. Exactly what I wanted! How did she know? Because I stood with her, pointed to her & said “They’re the ones I’d like” In Greenwich for most of the week, but never mind. At least I’ve [...]

September 19, 2003

Mmmm new Apple G5’s in PC World Leeds, but they’re a bit big to carry around. I’ll stick with my iBook, and drool over the new Powerbooks instead. Off up to Middlesbrough for the weekend – it’s Stokesley Fair, so we usually wander around & decide that we don’t actually want to go on any [...]

I love my missus so much! She finally relented, and allowed me to purchase the DVD Recorder of my dreams! Guess she must have been in a good mood after the holiday?? A Philips DVDR70 is now mine, and I’m happy to say that my iBook can read the RW discs perfectly. As long as [...]

September 7, 2003

Back from France in one piece, with a bootload of alcohol & perfume at cheap Froggy-Frenchman prices! Certainly wouldn’t recommend Brittany Ferries from Plymouth to Roscoff – not the classiest of acts, but coming back from St Malo to Portsmouth was a lot better. Back to work tomorrow Congrats to Tim as he’s [...]
