i had recent computer misadventures with the folks at a small shop called General Nanosystems. long story short, they fried my motherboard. i’m writing from my newly updated laptop which is now my main computer. and i’m not sure why i didn’t do this before, as it’s about 5 times faster than my desktop.

a stern talk with the manager today and i’m getting a replacement motherboard for free. score and a half.

hopefully with addition of adobe’s creative suite 4 will make this the little laptop that could.

i’m going to be globe-trotting in a minor sense over the next month. i get to be in London for Guy Fawkes Night. bonfires, carnivals, and more explosives than you can shake a stick at. expect stories and pictures.

on a globe-trotting note, i finally have access to the pictures i took when i went to the british isles for two months. expect a giant flickr album soon.

remember, remember the 5th of november.
