Time is flying by - frighteningly so! Many things have happened in the past month and the most important thing is that, as of this morning, Sinead returned to the Surgery to go back to mornings, for this week only, we hope. Sinead seems to have healed in textbook fashion and we hope to resume normal service as soon as possible . . .
The image above is one of many from a soggy Oxford and Cambridge Boatrace - a day I have covered for the oldshipw6 on the Thames for almost ten years. Always a fun day that is dictated to by London's weather and we have experienced tropical sunshine through to this year's wet and windy conditions. All went well and further images from he day can be seen at

As you may have read in a previous post, my main work Mac decided to leak and give up the ghost . . . In a flurry of eBay selling, mostly old and valuable bits for Ed, I included the G5 carcass and 4.5Gbs of memory for sale.
To cut a long story short the Mac went for £165 and the memory for £41 - quite amazing and a 15% contribution to the new Mac that was purchased two weeks ago. Back to business and soooooo fast!!!Unbelievably there is next to no visual difference and the only differences being a second optical drive door and a different, more useful range of input sockets on the front.
What is the big difference is that this Mac is almost silent, runs without a liquid cooling system (odd choice in the first place but state of the art four years ago) allows the insertion of extra sata Hard Drives in seconds and is just so quick!
