Tax rebate came though. I’ve just ordered a Nikon D70s camera. Eek.

Anyone want to buy a Fuji Finepix S7000? One careful owner?

Still working for Nat, currently painting the fence green though there’s more digging to follow. I’m thinking of moving into their shed if I can rig up an ethernet cable.

Shaved my head, which involved sitting in front of a mirror with my shirt off (not something I do very often), and discovered I have muscle tone, specifically around the upper torso and shoulders. Was somewhat taken aback by this. Combined with my working-man’s-tan I believe I might possibly be “buff”. Whodathunkit?

No I’m not going to post a photo.

Meg moved to WordPress (and broke her RSS feed in the process) mainly for the ease of using the Themes system and not having to worry about template coding and CSS so she can just get on with the content part of the CMS. Part of me agrees (there’s a new version of MT out and I’ve got no real inclination to download it let alone upgrade) but part of me is screaming “DIY! DIY!” That latter part might have to grow up, I dunno. I still have a dislike for off the shelf templates but despite growing tired of the current look for this site I really can’t face another redesign from scratch. Maybe I should just go plain text and be damned.

Hmm… That’s not a bad idea…

The Wire is a superior TV series that I urge you to seek out.

Thank fuck for the rain!

Caption, the small press comics convention in Oxford, is next weekend. For the first time in over a decade I may not go. This is nothing to do with Caption so please don’t read anything into it as I’m sure it’ll be superb. Then again I may go at the last minute. We’ll see.

You’ll have noticed a lack of new photos in the last week. The films from Supersonic haven’t come back yet and I think I’m having a break, which is probably no bad thing.

    You blatantly just don’t want to take photos with your OLD camera now that its been olded by the NEW one. So you won’t take any photos until the NEW one arrives.

    You’ll be one of those people with cameras the price of a good car before you know it, but then who wants a car?

    You`re film are done Pete. In fact they were done last week but I sat around in a beer induced stupor for most of the weekend so I may have neglected to tell you.

    is the camera still up for grabs?

    i’d certainly appreciate going up from a SVGA jobbie (which is what i have.. i think - not even a true 1.3 - it being interpolated - )

    unfortunately i’m not going to Caption this year - so won’t see you around and about there either…

    def want to go to lancaster - even though i’m scared it’ll be as disapointing as bristol

    I thought that long hair was de rigeur for people who live in garden follies.

    Maybe there’s a different tradition with regard to fellows who live in the shed…
