Back (sort of)

I knew for a while that I would have to get a new laptop as the old one had been on the brink of collapsing. However, I did nothing until the thing finally died, taking along some 1000 photos and a few drafts without backup.

So off it was in search of a replacement. I had no particular preferences and /or prejudices, not enough time, even less knowledge but I hope I'll be satisfied with what I finally decided on. It is a Vaio, not the cheapest one but seems good value for the money. Besides, it comes with the extended 3 year guarantee.

Anyway, since I had only limited internet access from work while waiting for a friend to set everything up (which always takes longer than anticipated), I'm trying to catch up with things while getting used to the new thing but I expect to be back to the regular schedule (whatever that is supposed to be) during the weekend. I still have some things to figure out and some stuff to install, though.
