Losing your portabiilty is never a great feeling. However having a system that works, and is easily replacable on a component basis is very “calming” so to speak. My mind is now at ease relative to me losing mywork tools. The desktop isn’t super powerful as i was on a “fix it now” budget.

1. intel core 2 dou processor
2. 1 gig of ddr2 ram
3. everything else basically onboard
4. dvd burner

Thats about it.

Oh and a busted monitor my friend so kindly lent me to use temporarily till i can purchase a flat panel lcd of my own.

Thank God the pc came together as quickly as it did. Other wise i’ld have missed out on 2 photo gigs i did recently.

In other news. Web application development is boring me to death.. I do it now solely for the pay check at the end of the month. And i’m currently studying for linux+ certification from which i’ll pursue LPI 101 + 102. Want a couple certs worth mentioning (anyting but A+ IMHO).

I’m also still going to go to edna manley for photography classes. Never know what I’ll learn that i thought i already knew.

Driving.. Yeah I have learnt. confident in driving now. I just need to go do the stupid test and get it over with.

Work…..

Social Life: Friends are still there. we kick it on saturdays in mona, xbox 360, Rock Band 2 guitars 1 mic.. Planning on getting the drums in xmas.

The holidays - Afraid of buying too much based on the economical situation at hand. A canon 30D was my planned purchase to use for a wedding I’ll be back up shooter for in xmas. If i can pull in extra cash by way of photojobs I’ll be getting that rig for sure.

Oh as for the evil laptop. It’ll be fixed in december maybe january. I guess thats the xmas gift I’ll be getting.. well not so much as its a work tool. { also lookign on the crumpler brazillion dolar bag for my photo equipment.. finally i’ll be able to take my laptop with me with my gear without 2 bags.. IF I GET IT}

On the Health side of things I’m still going hard at P90X this is my 3rd week officially 4th unofficially. Will be moving to phase 2 next week all being well.
