It’s Nearly Christmas
“If you’ve got nothing good to say then say nothing at all” Well I’ve thought of something, so I’ll say it.
This year has flown by.
For example, it’s almost 2 weeks since we went to London and it feels like yesterday. I can’t believe it’s 1 year since we were dancing to Black Eyed Peas – The Time/ Dirty Bit, for the last works do. This weekend it’s the Custard Christmas Do and we are getting some VIP treatment at NEC.
It’s about time I reflect back on the year and see what gadgets I’ve had (and usually blogged about)
Just read back through my Blog and you’ll see the erratic gadget peaks and troughs for me over the past few years. Things are back on track now though and I feel much less ridiculous as I’m no longer pulling an Acer Laptop out of my Laptop bag and a Non-iPhone out of my Pocket. And now i’m writing notes on and iPad 2 and not a piece of paper. (As an IT Professional, it’s equivalent to my ‘mate-in-the-trade’ using a Manual Hand Drill, Christmas Cracker Screw Drivers and a hacksaw from the Pound Shop) as he pointed out.
I’ve noticed I’ve failed to blog about the fact I now have a MacBook Pro 13″ 2.8GHz i7 with 128GB SSD. An optical bay drive converter is on it’s way. This will allow me to fit a 2nd Hard Drive so I can drop all of my Music Samples for Ableton and Virtual Machines for Work on it. Bye-Bye Battery Life!
On a side note… The other week I bought a 4x Pack of Crabbies Alcoholic Ginger Beer and they where the 500ml(ish) real ale size bottles for £5.50. Yesterday I was in Tesco and I bought these 4 for £5.50, as it was 50p cheaper than buying them as 4 500ml singles. I got them home and found they had been downsized to little 330ml bottles which were supped up in 1 ginger fuelled sneeze.
I could of bought 4x Ginger Joes for the same price!! Now there are TV adverts for the stuff, it would be unfortunate if you where Ginger and called Joe.
Digression Adjourned
