New toy, new distraction

Monday, June 19, 2006

It’s been a little while since I posted. I haven’t been all that busy. Distraction is the more like it. About 10 days ago I made an impulsive purchase. I bought a notebook. When I got home, I was so excited to configure the wireless router so that I could go online anywhere in the house. Alas, it didn’t work and I had to wait a couple of days for help to arrive. In that time, I busied myself loading my new toy with files I’ve been storing on my portable hard disk and customising it the way I like.

I’ve always shared the home computer and it didn’t feel like it’s mine. Of course the computer in the office is mine to use but never one that I want to store my personal things in. So with this new toy in hand, it feels very comforting that IT’S ALL MINE!

Now, with the wireless router up and running, I’m extra productive at home. I watch my TV programs, keep an eye on the cats running about and surf the net all at the same time, in the same room. I think it’s now even harder to get me out of the house. I’m anti-social enough as it is…well maybe my friends could meet me over chats on the messenger??!
