“Smile - Tomorrow is another day…..”
Christmas must be near.
I have just made the mincemeat for the mince pies, and sometime this week I am going to make the Christmas pudding as well. Actually I am going to make two. One for Christmas and one for now. Just to test it out.
I can understand people being busy, but really these recipes are sooo easy! And once you have tried home made, you will not go back to shop bought. The added bonus is that you get to add as much brandy as you want!
Today I had my second ECDL test. This one was a bit different in that it will be marked by a compute, rather than the tutor.
I think it went well. Most of the questions were straight foreward. Next week we start using software, rather than just learning about it. Even though I know all this stuff, it is fun to recap. Office just isn’t a suite I use to the full extent.
On another note I am thinking of getting Football Manager 09. It looks really interesting but many of the reviews paint a picture of bad installs and overloaded servers that are used to register. I may wait a week or two, till everything settles down. The makers have even released a patch for it, virtually on the day of release.
Touch wood - my computer is running perfectly.
Everything I want to install on it is installed. I just cloned the drive again using my free to use for 15 days version of Acronis. Hopefully it will solve a lot of messing about next time I need to put everything back on. I just put in the spare drive instead! Then clone it to another new drive.
And it has also backed up all my data including my itunes purchases.
Now all I have to do is practice, practice, practice with my new software.
The first thing I want to do is create a snow scene for xmas. In fact I want several xmas type scenes for the top for the blog. It is much easier to learn with a specific project in mind.
A little something about the human condition.
It is 3 days passed Fireworks Night - there are intermittent heavy rain showers- there are high and gusting unpredictable winds and it is very dark.
People are out letting off fireworks.
A & E are going to be busy…..
