Well, Christmas came much earlier. The BigBad gave me my gift last weekend - and still i've not had a chance to update here. lol. It is a lovely ACER Aspire One! This thing rocks! 160gig HD and its as big as a large paperback, and weighs nothing.
BEST GIFT EVER

I've also picked up a wireless from some neighbour - which is just fine. A very strong ( Read more... )

Nice gift. I find I am compelled to use MS Office because other people send me things which OpenOffice cannot deal with. :(

Congrats on your photoshoot!

Lovely!
Happy holidays!

thank you!
do you know what OpenOffice can't handle? just curious :D

I am afraid I can't say precisely, but I've seen all sorts of difficulties with formatting Word files and some issues with Excel, especially anything very specific like tables or weird margins - but I don't know off-hand say which version of which program or specifically what causes the problems (mainly with OpenOffice running on Linux machines).

cheers,

yeah...
I really hope this will be the start of something bigger. "Pretty Dead Girl" has some Fantastic ideas and concepts and seems to really know how to put toghether amazing things. I really am sure the photos will come out well. Can't wait to see them. I don't expect any for a week or so - we'll see.

Huzzah for small computers! Huzzah for TIME OFF! And wireless. Yaaaay! wireless. I am so going to look for you over the break.

(and huzzah for snow. I would love it. I would go roll in it)

clockwork_zero December 21 2008, 13:40:41 UTC

"I'm officially On Vacation now... I've got a zillion projects to do, the house to clean, my workspace to organize."

And friends to get together with! I have lots to do over the holidays, too, but it would be great to see you and catch up in person some time. Last week I was house-/cat-sitting for Averill while she and family were at Disney and several times I drove up your street on my way there, looked at your place to see if it was dark or lit, and wondered how you and TBB are doing.

Yes! lets get together. I'm finally free. I'll try not to whine about work tooo much. lol. The Big got his cast off about 2 weeks ago - he'd broken his wrist in sept. otherwise he's really good :D

LOL
so true. We got another 7 or 8 inches last night. I think the problem with the weather here is that Toronto doesn't handle it well. We're a big city right on the edge of the lake... and the lake effect means we don't get a lot of snow like everywhere else (except Vancouver). When the ill-equipped city gets 16 inches of snow in 2 days its chaos. We've got street parking on very old and narrow streets which means that there will be cars stuck for a week. There's all those stupid condos and construction sites - which seem to be dropping sheets of glass off the windows everywhere. Add in the fact that over 50% of the population of 3mil is not from Canada - most are immigrants - it just becomes a mess.

lol - Toronto!

nope, wasn't even close to a blizzard... just a big dump of snow :D

Vermont is supposed to be beautiful and ski country right? I know when i lived in Montreal it was "the place to go".
