Upgraded

When I first got my iBook I didn’t get the additional Ram because of the expense but after almost 4 years I finally have, yay. I was actually contemplating not getting it since this computer also needs a new battery. Well I guess it doesn’t need a new battery but the current one only lasts for about 10 minutes. Now it has about 640 MB of RAM and it is flying once again, as much as it can I guess. I got to have a good look at the new MacBook Pros and my god are they thin.

I am still hunting for a camera. I think I may choose either a Canon S2 or a S3 when it comes out. Maybe, I am not 100% sure yet but they are my most likely bet, at least at this time. It is hard reading the review sites since just about every camera that isn’t a SLR it says it has too much noise over 200 ISO. I think that it would only be noticable if printing stuff large or viewing at 100% on the screen. The only ones that seem to avoid this doom is Digital SLRs which are just way more than I want to spend, and much larger than I would really like to carry around. Panasonic has a really neat camera that also allows for manual focus but apparently all of their camers have terrible noise due to the chip they use. My eyes are bad so I shouldn’t be doing manual focus anyways. Also it uses a proprietary battery which I want to stay away from. In Guelph I can get 4 rechargable AAA batteries for under 5 bucks, I’m sure they carry AA for the same price if not better. The place is Tri Star Trading on Dawson Road if you were curious.

I finished work in my dept Friday, it was bittersweet for me. I am sad to leave, especially my old boss since she was the one who hired me and I guess took a chance on me since my skills at interviiews rather suck. I’m nervous going into the new area since I fear that I may stumble since I will have to learn a large variety of tasks and new systems in a short time. I will continue on with my attitude though, make sure I do my job to the best of my abilities and to increase my abilities to make damn sure that they never regret hiring me, not even for a moment. I finished up all of my tasks in the previous area, so hopefully the person who is taking over won’t screw up stuff that badly and blame it on me or something.

Yesterday I dragged Kathy with me around to a few stores to look at cameras, we did get a few pens for her, she does love her Uniball’s. We also got Tetris DS. That game is frustrating, mostly because I suck at it but shit. Kathy seemed to be able handle the game easily and handicapped herself to keep things competitive but I kept on losing. I felt like throwing my DS across the room. Shi-at. I was tempted to get Yoshi’s island now that they reduced the price on it but I just don’t feel like playing anything anymore.

Now my hands are idle, I don’t feel like playing with clay, I don’t have anything Buick related to write about, don’t really have anywhere to go, gas is expensive, and Kathy is busy studying so I don’t want to go heading out to places with her. What the hell am I going to do? I have to pick out stuff since I really want to set up my old pc as a RAID storage area and such but that can wait until the funds come in.
