rain

I think summer might have finished already. Boring.

It's been a frustrating week on a personal level, but then most weeks are, so there's nothing new there.

Yesterday I bought a bendy tripod thing for my camera, so I can take long exposure pictures of the garden and make the resident squirrels look like Speedy Gonzales.

In unrelated events, there may be some very good news on the band front soon. Watch this space (if you care).

A couple of questions:

- anybody know of a cheap mp3 player that has gapless playback? Or even a cheap hi-fi? I need something that will just play a cd through from start to end without inserting extra silence where there shouldn't be any.
- there are lots of people protesting here against the Dalai Lama, since he's in town. But why are they protesting?

EDIT: Today's annoyance - open source software projects that expect you to jump through hoops in order to report a defect. Why do they have to be such twats about it?

And yeah, my entries are quite disjointed at the moment, because I have nothing of any real worth to say.
