Shoes and Shoelaces

Why don't shoes have real eyes for the laces? Is there some aversion suffered by the makers and designers of modern footware, to holes that don't tear? Stupid bastards!

Buying Software

I just bought a copy of Photoshop Elements 3.0. As I've got a digital camera now, I thought that I'd better get something in which to edit the photographs I sure to take. It's been a very long time since I last used (perhaps "fumbled with" might be more accurate) Photoshop and I'm looking forward to learning it.

On the other hand, if the application itself is as dodgy as the installer, then this could be a painful experience.

With the new iTunes update, I've been able to throw out one more of the third-party applications on my iBook: iPodder.

Pretty soon, I won't need any thing but the applications OS X ships with (plus LaTeX and iWork).

Hmmmm

I'm currently sitting in an Internet cafe in Launceston, which hasn't changed in the nearly eight months I've been away. It'll be good to get back to Canberra though.
