Saturday 7 February 2004

Pic of the day: Since the SDRAM is too small to photograp without special equipment, I proudly present yet another picture of this spring's young girl fashion. Not even King Solomon was dressed like one of them! I sincerely hope. But perhaps some of his queens were. Probably not, though.

Day of more stuff

The accumulation of stuff proceeds apace. Yesterday there was a small piece of paper in my mailbox telling me that the package from Idedata was waiting at the post office. It should be rather small, and would have fit easily into my mailbox. Except my mailbox was already pretty full with the package from Amazon.com. Slightly ironically this was Alan Watts book "Tao - the watercourse way".

Luckily, Saturday is when I usually go to the nearest Kiwi shop to buy groceries for the weekend, and this happens to be where the post office is too. So it wasn't much of an inconvenience after all. And at least they did not leave the book out in the slush, the way their American counterparts did with Tsaiko's books.

The package contained a Secure Digital memory card, which I don't really need until the Pocket PC is full. This is likely to be a couple months, and thus a couple paydays, away. But I already bought some transparent adhesive film to protect the screen (I didn't with Cassie, and she got permanently scratched from my scribbling). I had also ordered a USB cable for quick synchronizing and emergency recharging at work or on the move. (This was delayed.) So I had thrown in the order for the memory card in the same run, even though I did not need it until later. Greeed!

Apart from the "max out the credit card" ongoing project, it was an ordinary Saturday. Games, anime, no girls, no booze, no carrots.
