Hi guys
I've been absent from DA of late because my laptop decided it's had enough... and if I'll be honest I was also a little bit lazy... but anyway:
A lesson I've learned from my laptop's hard drive dieing is that you should never work to a deadline. I wanted to enter a photography competition at [link] - a competition I knew about from the beginning of July, but the deadline being the end of August I kept procrastinating. As my luck would have it the laptop stopped working *on the day* I decided to get to work on enhancing some photos to submit to the competition, and it was out of action for two whole weeks, by which time the deadline for the competition had been and gone :(
But hey, on the bright side, I love Steve Jobs for including Time Machine in Leopard - the only things I had to completely restore to the laptop were my applications because I have a skimpy external drive with not enough space for that particular folder. All my photos, documents, music etc are safe *phew*
I thought that that would be that, but I was wrong :/ Not six full days passed from when I got the laptop back that the power supply magnet thingamajig stopped working - the laptop battery wasn't getting any power from the wall socket... So the laptop went back in for repairs, but luckily enough they only had it for one day. And its still under warranty, so I'm hoping that if anything else has to go wrong it does so before the end of October!

In the months since my last journal update I've been on holiday back home in Malta and to Dublin, pictures from the latter trip will be coming soon, I hope! I've also been taking some pictures of the Manx countryside and motor sport events, some of them will be going up shortly :)
