The time has finally come and it really has
been a long time coming. While generations
are born, raise families, grow old and die, I
sit and wait for a single page to load on my
computer - and when it finally does, I pray
that it doesn't cause the hard-drive to crash into
blue screen mode. How the darned thing hasn't
been thrown out of the window at some point
in the past couple of years, I truly don't
know. So anyway, the short and long of it is
that after much emptying of pockets,
rummaging down the sides of sofas and raiding
of piggy-banks, I've ordered a new Dell
laptop, which should hopefully be arriving at
Swede Towers within the next 48 hours.
I mention all this to forewarn that normal
service might be even more sporadic than
usual while I familiarise myself with the
comparatively cutting edge technology that's
currently winging its way in my direction. If
I get a chance I'll schedule a couple of
posts to tide me over the bedding-in period,
though, as ever, time is tight at the mo'. Also, the endless waiting for, and re-booting of, this old steam driven computer is doing nothing for my stress levels.
In other news, I've nearly finished removing
the jewel-cases from all of my CD's (as
mentioned here). In the process of carrying
out this fingernail shredding task, I've
unearthed a veritable mountain of tunes that
I hope to share in the future. I've also
had bright ideas for a couple of potential
new features that may (or may not) crop up round these parts at some point. I haven't actually written anything down
yet though, so that's a worry - I might well
forget it all by tomorrow.
To commemorate the various changes currently
taking place in my part of the world, here are Sparks, with a favourite of mine from 1985.
