Well well well...is what I am not. Despite not having recovered fully from bronchitis I have now come down with some other cold/flu thing. Frankly I am a little annoyed by this as I think I've done my duty apropos flu this winter. Very annoying. I hope I am not too crook for the weekend especially the dog track on sunday, or as I have been instructed to call them today, "the dish-lickers".
I have been thinking a bit about getting a laptop via salary sacrifice again. I know I have been down this path before and baulked at the hurdle. I've got bucket loads of work to do this year, probably a fair bit of travel, and besides....I just want one. Part of me wants a big shiny laptop with a 17 inch screen and a monster video card, but I'm thinking that a 15 inch version with a less spectacular video card will be far more sensible (especially for portability) even if it is a touch less 'fun'.
I've also been quite encouraged by the fact that my mate Jacko seems to have been checking in regularly and adding to the life of the blog (check out his youtube link in the comments from yesterday's blog). Kobayashi loses a hot dog eating competition...to an 800 pound bear...
Just as an afterthought I stumbled over a book on promoting good behaviour in the workplace. It's called "The No Asshole Rule". A serious book with an unusual approach.
I've also been re-reading the Fritz Leiber Lankhmar series lately. Half-way through the sixth book now. I bought the 7th book ages ago but somehow never got around to reading it. So I have that to look forward to as well.
more news tomorrow.

One of the people at work was looking at salary sacrficing for laptops, although it didn't seem like they were easily customisable - each model had 2 or three options, but some of the better accessories weren't available with the bigger screens, etc... (something to watch for).
On a chicken note, by soccer source says that bantams are cute, sussex (which you mentioned) are quite good, & ostrolorps (sic) are the best layers. Hope that helps :).
Heya Dave,
Imo if you want a laptop for mobile uses just get a basic model or look at leasing arrangements of more flashy models. If you really want them for performance (like gaming) they are out of date within 6 months.
