A photo of my desk at work, with a 20" aluminium iMac in the middle, a 20" Cinema Display to the right of it, and a 17" white plastic iMac to the left.

I swapped the work MacBook on my desk for a 17″ iMac, as a colleague needed a portable machine. 😀

A photo of a lounge room that is totally devoid of furniture except for a coffee table against the wall with some networking gear underneath it and a box of "Huggies" nappies on top, and a bedside table.

A photo of a small white wooden toddler bed in the corner of a room, with pink sheets on it. There's a brown wooden bedside table next to it that's significantly taller than the top of the bed, various soft toys to the right of the bedside table, and some plastic toys in a box at the end of the bed.

I am now SANS ROOMMATES! They moved out on the weekend. 😀 I'm paying a shitload of rent for the moment, until kungfupolarbear gets here, but it's so worth it. The lounge room is extremely empty right now, since all the furniture except the lights and the coffee table were my roommates'. And Lily has her own room now! And she’s got a proper little bed too. 😀

Mmm, cake.

A photo of column in carpark showing the location as being "2B", and someone has scrawled underneath it "or not 2B".

A closeup of my call centre phone's display saying that I've got an incoming call from "Santa Claus".

This was in the QVB’s carpark. I know it’s not original, but I giggled. You don’t see enough witty or intelligent graffiti these days. At least, I don’t anyway. And I received a call from a very important person on Tuesday. 😀

A photo of the loungeroom inside a ground-floor unit. There's a small balcony facing where the camera is pointing, with horrible security bars over the gap between the railing and the ceiling. Inside on the left wall is a CRT TV on top of a wooden TV stand with stuff inside it. Facing away from the balcony is a two-seater lounge, and to the right of that facing the TV is another two-seater lounge of the same sort. There's a low square brown wooden coffee in between the lounges.

A photo looking into the kitchen from outside the doorway. The cupboards are cream coloured, there's a ceramic cooktop on the bench at the right, the sink is facing the doorway, and there's a dishwasher just visible to the left of the sink.

A photo of the corner of the kitchen, with the dishwasher on the right, a microwave jammed into the corner, and a metal-fronted fridge to the left of the microwave.

A photo of my room from the doorway. To the left is a queen-size bed with a high wooden head against the window. Left of that is a huge corner desk with three monitors on it and a MacBook Air, with a Power Mac G5 in the computer tower section at the left. Just visible in the left of frame is a bookshelf with lots of books on it.

A photo of my room from the corner where the queen-size bed is. There's a mirrored closet door at the left and the bookshelf is clearly visible to the right of it along the wall.

So, I’ve finally gotten around to taking some photos of my new place! Those bars on the balcony are going to be gotten rid of, thankfully. 🙂

We’ve got our MacBook Air in at work, it's VERY impressive!

A quite zoomed-in photo of Dan Abnett's omnibus "The Saint".

A photo taken out a window looking across the street. There's lots of trees everywhere.

A very zoomed-in version of the previous photo, showing a TV antenna that was barely visible before.

kungfupolarbear and I were talking about what camera she was thinking of getting (Canon PowerShot S3IS), I saw the review and it can take video at 640×480 and 30fps. I was thinking of putting the $250 of gift vouchers I got for Christmas for JB Hi-fi towards a video camera for taking decent videos of Lily, but then decided to go down to the Mall and see if they had the S3. They didn’t, but apparently that camera is about three or four years old now, and they had the S5IS instead. With the gift vouchers (and $50 off the RRP because the last model they had was the one on display) I got that plus a 4GB SD card for $406. 😀😀

I’m now busy taking photos of EVERYTHING.

The first one doesn’t look that impressive, but it’s zoomed all the way in and I was sitting in my computer chair in the opposite corner of the room. And with no tripod or anything, it was just me holding it! The second two were taken from my room, looking out the window. The camera didn’t move for the second shot, it’s just zoomed all the way in (12x).
