Sorry this is a short one, I’m not in the mood to post and havn’t been for some time, I wont say why.

I have a new camera! My old powershot A80 died, it decided to draw big fat lines across photos.

I’m sure if my friend ever finds this site she’ll be mortified that this pictures up here, but I deleted the rest of the photos as they were awful! I also have a supposidly 5mp camera I bought from work for ¨£50 but it doesn’t save images anymore, it deletes them as soon as it takes them, plus it has no zoom.
So I decided to treat myself to a nice small compact camera that I can take out with me. I can’t exactly take an EOS 350D to a nightclub can I!

I have a few criteria when buying a new camera, firstly, it must be a canon, I cant STAND sonys, their slow, clunky, extortionately expensive and the photo quality isn’t fantastic, HPs are awful, nikons and fujis are ok but I wouldn’t buy either of them, so really, I’m left with Canon, I love them, I’m on my third canon, out of 5 cameras (I have a thing for them!)

Without further ado, I present the ixus 65. Its no looker from the front and I’ll be honest, it does feel a bit cheap.

but when I googled it and saw the back I was sold!

Its so attractive! I havn’t really had a chance to test it out and about yet, but when I go back to uni tomorrow I’ll test it out during the week.

Incidently the photos were taken on an ixus 750 or i7, its my dads, its 7mp slightly smaller, damn sight more expencive, tiny screened camera and he’s dead jealous of mine even if he does refise to admit it - how to make your parents jealous!

If your familiar with linux you’ll know what virtual desktops are. Effectively their another desktop that is completely separate from your current one. It can have a different background and different programs running yet be on the same computer. I dont know of any for windows, and certain distros of linux come with virtual desktops installed.

I decided to try out VirtueDesktops and was pleasantly surprised, especially as the macbookpros built in sensor means you can change the desktop with just a tap of your hand.

Say hello to Rhys everyone. I edited myself out as I hate the sound of my voice, but I didn’t tell him why I was filming, so I suspect he thinks I’m a little mad, but still, it serves him right for filming me when we were in Cardiff!! (Try not to get the wrong impression from that!)

Firstly I must apologise for the leek….it amused me so I thought I’d amuse some other people with it. I’ve been wanting to post for a while, but I couldn’t think of anything to post about. Firstly I wanted to do a wonderful heroic story about how I fixed the dead pixels on my TV, alas it didn’t work.

Next I was going to talk about blogg-buzz a digg for bloggers, but thats already be done to death.

Then I wanted to say how you could remotely backup your mySQL to email but a) it was Rhys’s idea, and b) it didn’t work.

I’m sure i had some other ideas in the mean time, but they’re long forgotten.

Then this morning I was awoken by the sound of Pikmin, a text from Rhys, today is our two month anniversary!

I can’t believe its been two months, mainly because most of our relationship is through Skype! If you want to read how we met click here. Yes, it was through myspace.

I miss home. It much warmer than here. I need a few hours in the sun to have energy, I’m a cross between a plant and a reptile. Canterbury is very windy, I’m on top of a hill too which isn’t great! (except for the view over the cathedral) I came downstairs this morning and I was nearly blown away, seriously, I couldn’t walk! Oh and the rain! Don’t get me started on the rain!
It went from this

To this, in the space of ten minutes!

It’ll still be windy when I go to my java lecture in an hour too. Woe! But this evening I’m going upstairs for chocolate fondue! mmmmm
