Well I've moved my blog! Its now here in the comfortable hands of Blogger.com
Far less intrusive and nicer in design if you ask me =]
The wait for my ordered Newton MP2100 continues.. This morning I woke up at about 9am which meant the postman had been and gone. It was like christmas for a 10 year old, hoping dearly that 'presents' had been left. Sadly there was no such luck and my letterbox remained devoid of the little "We're holding something for you at the collection office" card. I'll probably check there later anyway just to be safe. Its very close to where I live (A lovely, massive old family flat in Victoria) so its not out of my way at all...
The postman did however bring my 'direct debit' form which I can post to HSBC so my Credit Card doesn't decide to eat my money in interest, instead being paid off by my interest free student overdraft. My last deposit also came through this morning which was nice, no more Christmas Present Debt =] Of course I'll manage to go right back in very shortly..
Finally I've decided what to call my newton when it arrives. Originally I was bordering on 'Calvin' but I've decided to name it "Denning" after the most illustrious Judge the United Kingdom has ever known, and a nice chap if I am to believe what I hear of him! The name came to me when I realized that "Denning" would be mostly helping me with my voluminous legal research and so, having great admiration for the man I decided then and there - it was actually in the kitchen of all places, whilst making tea.
Right, I now have to go to my University and pick up some stuff about fee payment and then I'll check on the Postal Service =] I neeeeeeeeeed my Newton =] This also gives me an excuse to buy a big ol Gingerbread Latté, Christmas Incarnate =]
Take care!!
More news later!
