I've encountered a few things of intrest on my usb searches, Especially the numerous embedded processors out there with USB capabilities already built into them.. i think this one is an especially good path i might follow down further. I also liked Shadee's idea in my comments from the previous entry too. Both viable options.
I noticed on the news earlier that england is suffering from quite bad flooding once again this year, Glad i dont live down there. The extent of flooding in this local area has been the same as every other year.. about 1 inch of water covering the road by the train station. But as they say, Look on the bright side.. I doubt they'll have a hosepipe ban this year.
Potter mania has sweeped the nation too *sigh* (oo i wonder if this is why shadee has gone offline for a week!) With all sorts of rumours surrounding what happens at the end of the book. Personally who cares? why try to ruin it for yerself and everyone just buy the damn book and read it.
Anyway, I think im going to make myself a Electronic Weather station. Might be handy if/when we move up to Skye (Hopefully soon), Know cos looking out the window just doesnt cut it these days. And to go with it im also going to build myself a new PC before we move, Im still leaning towards AMD and course 64-Bit and it'd be kinda pointless at this stage not to go dual core. So that kinda limits my choices right there :D Probably a AMD Althlon 64 X2 6000. And stick with Vista course.
I found this free Searchable PDF creator on my travels in cyberspace today, No idea why i was even looking for it but i was. Supports Vista x64 so yay.
Updated the Links section of this front page, Split them up a bit. Removed the Images and just generally cleaned it up a tad, Also made the comments easier to identify on the individual entry page. I'd never actually noticed before today that there was no seperation between the bottom of the Entry and the First Comment. I also stole Morduun's Libary link he found and posted on his blog a while ago. Course using my own books instead, Well the ones that were within reaching distance of my computer anyway.
lol you guessed right XD
I’m just hiding from the people who think it’s a sport to spoil the books for others until I’ve read it myself.
The book should be on the doorstep any min now :)
And cool @ weather station. We bought Mord’s mom one of those small portable ones for her camper.
