There an awful lot like that - and I think a few of those left are only here for CM...

Cos I'm some kind of special case who can't cope with the real world of General......

Ah well, I like it in here...

I'm on holiday

I bought myself a handheld GPS thingy yesterday, just for fun - one of these

So I'm now going to work out how to convert GPX files to KML files, so I can build a tool allowing me to import and export routes to and from Google Earth

I daresay somebody else has already done this, but it'll be fun to do it myself

I *think* it's a Banksy

I thought it was - my sis is obsessed with them - will you email me the pic so I can send it to her?

When I had a gig in Bristol, I used to walk past this one every morning... always used to cheer me up

I like it here - I keep going even though posts do not count anymore...

I'm not away, I'm at home - having spent almost every week living in a hotel room since last June, being at home for a few days is a holiday in itself

Back to the smoke on Wednesday evening

The GPS thingy's software is Windows-only at the moment (although they do promise Mac support some time in the future), so I've just fired up a Windows virtual machine

I have a pristine XP image sitting on an external hard drive - when I need to run a particular bit of Windows software, but don't want any other applications, I just make a copy of it, and install precisely what I need - no bloat, and it runs wonderfully fast
