	Wednesday, September 12, 2007 Well, Georgia is seven today (it's flown by!) and we have just returned from hosting a party at the local indoor play centre thing for about 25 of her friends (and her, obviously). A good time seemed to be had by all, and we left about 180 notes lighter... not too bad really! - Steve, 8:17 PM, Tuesday, September 11, 2007 I have a bit of a dilemma at the moment. I have worked for the same employer for almost 11 years now, although in that time I have worked in a few different divisions and departments and have had different roles in each. I've now been approached by a different company and they appear to be offering slightly more cash to do (what I think is) an easier job. I must admit that I'm tempted because I think it would be an opportunity to shine, rather than get bogged down in other peoples work as I do now. I don't have much chance of gaining a promotion in my current role (small team, only one level above me, all opportunities are in the NW), but I think there are more chances in the other place... - Steve, 1:23 PM, Sunday, September 09, 2007 I was driving through Croydon yesterday morning and, while I was stopped at some traffic-lights, a dog did a big poo on the pavement next to me. The owner whipped out a plastic bag, scooped up the poo and then tied the bag to the dogs collar. Wouldn't fancy that myself TBH. - Steve, 3:57 PM, Tuesday, September 04, 2007 I've been looking at a Mac Mini, it's not going to happen though because available funds for "non core purchases" are currently not available. I would like to have some sort of computer at home which would run a browser, how do you go about that without spending? I did have an old (ish) PC in the garage, but that appears to have been taken when a neighbour cleared out the stuff they were storing in there (could have been an accident, or maybe they are theiving gits). I've had a peek on ebay and I must say that I am quite taken by a "classic" iMac, you know the ones that look like a portable TV with bright plastic edges. Obviously it would be far from "state of the art" but if it could connect to my DSL line and let me look at Google Reader then it would probably be good enough (and it's not Beige). I think I could pick one up for about £20... - Steve, 11:34 AM,
