I have come to the conclusion that I have a laptop that enjoys being taken for walks. It wouldn’t boot up all last week, and then I took it with me to work this morning, only to have it boot up immediately in the office.

We’re watching a BBC Horizon show “How Much is Your Dead Body Worth?” and discussed what we’d do with the other’s remains after we drove each other over the edge. She’s already assured me “you’re going to be the first to go, let’s get that clear right now” but she knows nothing [...]
While I’m sick I was trying to make the best use of my time with at least a little bit of studying. The company pays for a service from Skillport.com which provides a huge library of reference books online, and a decent selection of prep courses in technical and business topics across a wide range.

I’ve just come up with a number of arrangements of small 6×6cm photos taken from contact sheets I had printed a couple years ago.
