When will the light go green?
Canon IXUS V. My criteria were that it had to be ultra-compact (fit in a mobile phone pocket), 1600×1200, CompactFlash and have WIA drivers. I chose one model up from this, the IXUS 300, purely because it has a 3x optical zoom where the IXUS V has only 2x. The 300 is bigger and a few hundred dollars more expensive. I know that there will be times when I will regret the zoom, but hey - I will have CONTENT baby!
A big problem with buying portable electronics: you have to charge the batteries before you can play. It happens with phones, it happens with CE devices, it happens with cameras. You shell out the $$$ and then you have to wait. The manual said 130 minutes to a full charge (I looked after the battery was charging) but I swear it was more like 134. Watching the red light (manual: orange), closing my eyes and wishing it would be green when I opened them.
It was worth the wait, as I’m sure you will agree. My flat is a little boring for test photos, especially at night, so I used the video feature of the camera. Yes, you read correctly: a still camera smaller than a Marlboro Lights 20s pack is also a video camera. Of course the video is crap, but since I hadn’t allowed it to sway my purchasing decision, it is ‘free’. Behold the provocative ‘Laundry’ series. The video won’t exactly stream, my backchannel is a touch, um, “limited”, but it is not worth the download anyway. Maybe the media might accidentally move to an E1.
***Note to PIT Team: you imagined the above line. And backchannel is free.

Microsoft to Darryn: You Rock!
In honour of my achievement, I have granted myself the silly season to celebrate, guilt free. I also grant myself a new digital camera to replace the one stolen on NYE.
Next exam: February. “70-220: Designing Security for a Microsoft Windows 2000 Network”. That makes me a Win2K MCSE and also NT4 MCSE equivalent (don’t know if actually get awarded NT4 MCSE, also don’t care). Then “70-224: Installing, Configuring, and Administering Microsoft Exchange 2000 Server”. A doddle.

MY PAGE DAMN IT!!!!!
freak.
I do read my server logs, and after a while patterns begin to emerge. Like the (at least) weekly hits from globalgossip and Sydney Uni. I wonder who they might be? Why?
Perhaps if you weren’t spending so much time reading my website, you would have had enough time to upload the images to your own “site”. Where is all this “amazing talent” that you so often told me about?
