It's that time of year, again
Haha oops! Was away over new year, forgot to take it down when I got back... Done it now!
I hope you realise tonight is the Twelfth Night (theoretically), Richard - you've still got your decorations up!
Hooray! I love the minxy faces on all the characters!
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Yay!

Wow, things are getting so cheap these days. I run VMs for dev when necessary, so don't know about a development server, but that sounds beefy enough to be a replacement for my main soon-to-be-dead desktop...
If you're after some development servers, you can pick up an HP ML115 for £206 on dabs - quad-core 2.2GZ Opteron, 1GB ram, 160GB disk, runs quietly. Nice deal.
Mine arrived this morning :)
Hehe absolutely - lurching between urgent projects seems to be my style these days!
Indeed it does - I bought an xbox pretty much just for GTA. Given up on PC gaming now, apart from Left 4 Dead.
Thanks about the house, will put updates on here when interesting things happen!
I've been trying to keep track of your escapades on Facebook, but have failed - keep meaning to send you a message to say hi. Will do that soon...
Awesome!!!
Thanks. Business as usual... apart from the house. Good luck with that :D
Good to hear you're still really busy, despite any "economic slowdown". And GTA still features in your life :P
Yay!
I'm Back!
There, one just for you!
Well, a brave promise to update more.
Two weeks, no update... hope one is drafted!
Pie!!!!
Yay!!!!!

This is true; LASEK/LASIK works by reshaping the cornea, but presbyopia is due to the muscles getting weak/lazy, or something like that.
But even then that's 20 years that I don't have to buy or wear glasses and contact lenses - I think that's worth it!
Give it another 20 years and you'll be putting glasses back on I'm afraid!
Nothing laser surgery can do to combat Presbyopia for which you'll need reading glasses!
I don't know about re-colouring, but I guess I could now wear coloured contact lenses... The real reason I've had it done though is so I'm ready for when HUD contacts come out, so I can browse the internet as I walk down the street. It's only a matter of time!
I've been wearing glasses for nearly 20 years; other than breathing and eating, I can't think of anything I've done longer! Guess it's only natural it'll take me a while to get used to it.
I will try to write more entries! It's going to be a busy couple of months coming up, but I'll aim to get better by the end of the year!
I can absolutely relate to the taking off of glasses as being the habit of many years. I think it is something you do almost subconsciously, ie off to bed and as part of the getting into bed process, like turning back the bedcover you take the glasses off.
So, with eyes in "good nick" we shall see more merry postings from you? - Says she who seldom gets around to it herself :-P
I will definitely keep the non-barcode-scanning in mind, if I ever choose to get laser eye surgery. Do they do re-colouring while they're at it?

Thanks! Today is the start of the fourth week after the op, and it's still getting better every day, things are looking good! Everything's in focus most of the day now, and they're not uncomfortable often, just a bit dry some evenings. More updates will follow, but it's looking very promising. Heh, literally.
Hope you're enjoying your trip - I keep an eye on your facebook status, sounds like it's been pretty good so far!
Wow. I wasn't expecting that.
Congrats, I think, on such a bold move. I'm still pondering about it. I think I'll stick with glasses/contacts combo for a few more years... for now.
Hope everything is still going well, and continues to heal up nicely.
