Clarity

I really have to start becoming more disciplined about spending just a few minutes every now and again posting - things happen so fast that finding the time is definitely an issue! I have had very serious computer issues for some time which has not helped. I have resolved this by treating myself to my first ever brand new laptop. Working in the sector that I do, making use of customer disposals and supposedly "broken" machines has been enough for the last few years, but trying to blog, web design, manipulate huge digital files and keep my data reliably intact has taken it's toll on the very old machines that I have been using. Moving to Vista of course has never been an option.

I've bought myself (with my bit of the profits made from photographic assignments) a brand-new Hewlett Packard Pavilion dv200, the specs of which are way higher than anything that I've had before. It's lightning-fast and can run easily any and all software that I want, including Adobe Elements in order to mess about with the video files from my Cycle Cam! I'll get round to recording and posting more of that shortly.

Cycling to and from work also takes up a lot of my available time and energy - although I wouldn't give it up for the world. I'm going to spend some time this evening posting some bits from the last month or so.
