Back after Easter, and time I posted on this blog. Emma from the UK was down in this this neck of the woods for a couple of weeks, so it was nice to show her around a bit of Melbourne. We also went down to Hobart for six days and visited Mt.Field, Richmond and Salamanca Market, among other places. Some bike riding along the Pipeline Track on a rainy Good Friday was also a welcome bit of outdoor adventure.
While in Hobart I visited my old school (The Friends' School) to sit in with Paul Radford's (a friend from a while back) music class - I had a listen to some of the students' recording projects. There was some good stuff there - it's great how computing has made high-quality recording so available to ordinary mortals.
Was just reading about fake iPods. I'm surprised these haven't been around sooner. Maybe they have. I've ordered a 12" Powerbook G4, which hopefully will arrive in the next day or so. The MacBooks with the Intel processors beckoned in a `sort-of' way, but I'm waiting for a smaller version to be released, and if the forums (fora for pedants?) are to be believed, Adobe Photoshop - which I use quite a bit - is some way off from being ready for the Intel system. I was reading a review of the MacBook Pro today in a prominent Australian PC magazine, and they said they liked the inclusion of a battery meter that didn't require the computer to be turned on. My Pismo G3 has that and it's six years old!

bloke I know ;) says the current photoshop runs a "wee bit" slow on the intel macs. CS3 photoshop will be fine on the intel macs, but you'll have a long wait.
have you tried Lightroom ?
