A tech-related post! Now this is not related to food blogging, but I thought I’d seek some feedback from my readers. I went along to a presentation by Apple yesterday afternoon for work, and got to play with an iPod Touch as part of the presentation. I love my Nokia E71, but now I wish […]
…on Sunday Jac did loads of gardening – she was out there for HOURS – while I stayed indoors and worked on my old abandoned Socket A AMD Athlon computer (the predecessor to my current AMD X2 3800+), a 1000 MHz Thunderbird – yeah THAT old… and slow. I’ve been meaning to resurrect it and […]
I am sooooooooooooooooooo bad. No, not really. But I must stay away from Zazz. It’s the Australian version of woot.com. Every day at midnight EST (which is currently 10:00pm here in the West), a new item is on sale for one day only (24 hours) or until stocks run out, whichever comes first. The items […]
And here is my ever-growing collection of remotes. My mobile phone has been included in the line-up to assist with scale. The remote that came with the speakers is amazingly small and light.
I think it’s very interesting that among the most popular photos at my Flickr site are pictures of my desk at uni. As I was taking pictures of the new speakers I thought you might like to have a tour of my desk at home. 1. and 2. are my front speakers, of course. And […]
Some people do comfort food. Me, I comfort shop. Not that I’m particularly upset that Jac will be away for so long (as I’ve said, I do miss her already, but it’s not really that big a deal), … but any excuse to treat myself! Well, as you all know, I got myself some new […]
After lots of research, I was keen on getting the Altec Lansing V3151R 5.1 speakers. They are the same as the VS3151 model, but with the R you get a cordless remote as well (what can I say, I love my gadgets!). But I couldn’t find anywhere locally (online or retail) that sold the R. […]
This post is a response to Mooiness’ comment and questions from the previous post. My PC is in my study, which isn’t a very big room (Jac estimates that it measures 6 x 12). When I’m home, I spend most of my time in the study. I listen to mp3s and watch DVDs on the […]
Last night for dinner Jac steamed vegetables – choy sam, fresh asparagus and swiss brown mushrooms, which she served with a mix of oyster sauce, fried garlic and onion. The vegetables were steamed in our bamboo steamer, the sauce made in a fry pan and poured over the top of the vegetables when they were […]
