My Digital Camera Has Arrived!
The first (useful) picture I took with my new Canon S45 4.0 Megapixel Digital Camera. Clearly, the plane’s wing is broken ;-).
In other news, FedEx does indeed rule, getting me the package today at 2:42 pm. Unfortunately, I was at the Bellevue Club until 4:20 and then I worked at Blockbuster at 5:00. So I didn’t hav emuch time to use it until I got off at 10:00. I am very pleased with its size and performance so far.
Stay tuned for long-overdue pictures of my wireless “internet borrowing” setup and of various other aspects of my dialy life.
Why I want my digicam now
If I already had my Canon S45 Digital Camera, I would have pictures of the previous adventure to share with you. Unfortunately, FedEx called back (good), but told me that the package was already slated for a Tuesday delivery and there was no way to change that (bad).
Tuesday isn’t really all that bad – the 18th will also be the day I find out for sure if I’m working on Thanksgiving, depending on the contents of my paycheck. I guess I don’t really want to work anymore, but the extra money would be nice. Not working and the money would be even nicer, but I doubt that Michael really believes that the money is owed to me – rather, I believe that, like much of the other things he says, it was intended to sound right at the time. Maybe I’m misjudging him, but it seems to be the trend – he has sort of a reality distortion field. Most of what he says sounds good at the time, but then you take a few steps away and things stop making so much sense.
Tired of Blogger
Blogger was a good start to my Blogging career – however, it has too many limitations, too many nagging problems (like the fact that it wouldn’t publish last night), and I’ve outgrown it. So I have moved on. I am here giving the greymatter blogging system a shot. It uses perl, which I don’t know like I know PHP, and it uses the filesystem instead of a database. Nevertheless, it seems to be a robust package altogether. Lets see how it performs.
