in the mean time

[flaviomatani]

Back from school in Watford. Much shorter working day, this last half-term: all (well, the few I have in these categories) pupils doing year 11, GCSE, etc are away on 'study leave'. Some others are doing various exams or away on trips. Curiously, I find it difficult to use the time I spend waiting for pupils who end up not turning up, productively. A little bit of guitar practice, another exchange of emails with the people selling the flat, or brokering (is that the word) the mortgage, or the lawyers, etc. and I'm in that peculiar state where I can only wait for the next bit of news about how things are doing and everything else is just exasperating. How little patience I have when it comes to anything other than teaching the guitar.

Good to see miss_amethyst last night at the Big Red. Briefly, as I had to come back for lessons here. Oh well.

hellooooo... off topic, but did you keep your mini 9? did you want to shift it? I'm still considering sourcing one :P

[flavius-m.livejournal.com]

Ah. It is in use, much more than I thought it would be -although it's not going to replace my macbook but it has come in very handy, so I'll probably keep it unless (or until) the wolves bay at the door (happens regularly in flavioland). If you had asked me a month ago, when I was so frustrated with it, but it turned out to be a 32GB Crucial SSD I'd bought. It's rubbish, if you do get the Mini (and I would say yea, it is a good idea) avoid this like the plague (ok, so I'm not making it easier for myself the selling of the bastard SSD). Bought a Runcore and Mac OS X runs on the little machine like a dream, whereas with the other one it was a nightmare. And it was only the disk that made the difference. So, yeah, do get one, it's a little beauty, but unfortunately I'm not selling mine at this point.
