One a month, eh?

Yikes. I last blogged on the 25th of March. Sigh. Hope the drop off rate isn't too terrible. Thanks if you've dropped in to read this though.... :)

Hmm. Busy. Just super busy. Working on computers and cranking out the hours. There have been benefits, but I've also lost so many hours to dunderheadedness that it's pretty astounding when I 'wake up' half way through Tuesday thinking it's still Sunday....

1) For all you Firefox users out there: here's a page to quicken your browser of choice. It's worked pretty nicely in conjunction with Fasterfox which puts a nice little timer in the bottom corner of your browser so you can actually see the time it take to load windows...

2) Did I blog about SG TCP optimizer? Get it, use it, love it. No more mucking about in the registry.

3) Go to Joostswap. Join. Joost. Jubilate. Oh, and read my articles...

4) After years, nay a decade, I'm going to write some stuff on health issues. Ya, promises promises, but I've been roped in by Christy to do two 1000 word articles on Health - one for women and one for men. Normally, I'd be able to slack it off, but Micheal her b/f has these huge arms and takes 'attack class' every Sunday morning. Urban warfare classes? Not sure, but I snuck up behind him to put him in a full Nelson on Saturday night and he just flexed and broke my grip... ya... I want him on my side in the bar fights...

5) Sold the Kodak V570. Was sad to see it go but that means I've got to battle my innercheapskate to decide if I want to go up a notch to a really really nice camera or down a notch to a made in China 8Megapixel no-name brand... On this hand we have the Panasonic Lumix with Leica lens 28-200mm (Lumix DMC-LX2) vs this Chinese PREMIER camera with a lens they stole out of and old FisherPrice Viewfinder... sigh... For interested parties the two best places on the web right now for Digie Camera freaks and reviews are here dcresource.com and dpreview.com.

6) What else. Not much. Jau-Ruey will be heading to Singapore for four or five days soon. Meeting up with her parents who are quite the jetsetters these days. Me, stuck here. Though notably I'm supposed to go to Canada in the Summer for Simone and Alex's wedding. I say 'supposed' as I've not been officially invited yet! hahaha. Though I did see their website. It's under Slideshow. Just make sure you've taken the SGtcp optimizer and pumped your internet connection...Nice soundtrack, sis - Cake.

That's it for an update. Watch out for that pesky Windows Genuine advantage...
