For those of you who didn't know (because I haven't told many of you) I am moonlighting as an IT journalist, in fact, if you buy the next edition of PC Advisor and look at the helpdesk section you should see my handsome mug looking back at you.
Its not all joy though, its pretty hard work, especially as I have to do it at night and some of the questions make our users look like veritable IT gods!
*sigh*

Here it is on my 15" Powerbook
Its also sturdy, the thick plastic feels like it could take some stick, and having a solid state flash disk instead of a traditional harddrive - its not going to die
I hate march... you can't order stuff because it's the end of the financial year and the dropin printer has ran out of toner...
(a bit of 'lack of forward planning' on my part there)
I'm usually prepared for this... but not this year!
Think I threw away about 500 pages of not wanted printouts yesterday... stupid childrens.
Anyways.. thought I'd start my blog... and be the number 2!!
Happy days!
Oh and today I discovered I can now drink coffee without wincing... which is bad...
I've missed our old site blogs in a never-posted-more-than-5-times-in-2-years kind of way.

'I now declare the blogs open. God bless them and all who vent their spleens through them'
That should do it.
