I know it’s been a long time since my last post – but as with everyone else in the world (seemingly) – I’ve been busy…..<\/p>\n

Just got back from a week cruising the Venetian Lagoon (Le Boat<\/a> do brilliant “self drive” trips) – Chioggia is MUCH nicer that Venice I have to say…. and Venice Lido is a dump…. but I’m suitably relaxed and feeling like posting something \ud83d\ude09<\/p>\n

I’ve wiped the X41 I blogged about last and I’m preparing to get it in condition to bung on E-Bay – I’ve found the restore CD’s, so XP will be put back on to give it that “factory fresh feel”. I’ve got a Vista Upgrade for it too – but I think I’ll just leave it up to the new owner whether to install that or not \ud83d\ude09<\/p>\n

Windows 7 has been pre-ordered for all the boxes at home – plus a spare licence (at \u00c2\u00a350 a pop it was a bit too good to not get my full allowance!)<\/p>\n

I’ve also ordered a Xtreamer from Tranquil.co.uk<\/a> to give me some additional options for the TV in the back room (Freeview signal no-worky with the internal ariel I got \ud83d\ude41 and I can’t be arsed getting an external one and doing all the cabling…..) but this solution should allow me to use the content in my Media Collection wirelessly – I’ll let you know how I get on….<\/p>\n

I also invested in a DSLR camera – I’ve been hankering after one for a long time, and I finally bit the bullet a couple of weeks ago – a second hand Nikon D50 with kit lense from E-Bay was my 32nd Birthday pressie to myself…. with a bit of assistance from cash gifts from family \ud83d\ude42 So far, I’m VERY happy…. I’ll post some example shots from the Venice trip once I get them organised and pick out some good ones….<\/p>\n

Anyway – seeing as this is the most typing I’ve done in one go in months… I’ll stop now and try and think of something meaningful to write about soon \ud83d\ude09<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
