Guess what I got today? <\/p>\n

I got my brand new camera. Oh it is sweet. And I have updated the camera page<\/a>. Accordingly. There’s a couple of pictures of the new camera down by the bottom. One of them featuring Technokitty and friends.<\/p>\n

Funnily enough my (now) old camera seems to be focusing properly again. Hah. Figures. I guess I could have saved the money for the new one. But no, I knew I wanted the faboulous Olympus SP-550UZ mega-camera of doom. And now I have it. The zoom is brill, of course. And the test shots I have done seem very satisfactory. I doubt you all, dear readers, will notice much of a difference in the quality of my pictures. But for me it is a fun, new toy. And with 18x zoom I can finally get some shots of those gazelles that run around in my neighbourhood.<\/p>\n

(I might have made that up).<\/p>\n

I have some goat pictures, perhaps the last ones ever taken with the old camera. So enjoy them while they last.<\/p>\n

\"madsbuck\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Mads and the buck. Mads is standing his ground more now. He doesn’t run away. He still baahs nervously when the buck gets near. But he’ll butt horns and not back off. Bravely brave sir Mads! Maybe it’s because the buck is a little calmer too. He’s not grunting and snorting so much. Maybe he has done “his business”. Let’s hope for good results!<\/p>\n

While Mads sat down in the sun there, Magnethe came and joined me on the bench. And for once she jumped all the way up, instead of just getting up with her front legs on the bench. She was standing next to me, and I think she wanted treats. At least that’s the impression I got when she started pushing her head against me.<\/p>\n

\"magnethe\"<\/a><\/p>\n

I know I shouldn’t encourage that kind of behaviour. But I just find it so funny when she butts me in the side. I’m odd.<\/p>\n

Then I took a hold of her head in a wrestling kinda move.<\/p>\n

\"magnethe\"<\/a><\/p>\n

I expected her to try to get free but instead she just stood there and let me hold her like that. Maybe because I was stroking her face. It’s not much of a wrestling match when you don’t try to get free, Magnethe!<\/p>\n

\"vaniljemads\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Vanilje joined Mads in the sun. That’s not uncommon. To find Mads and Vanilje sitting close together. I know I’m “humanizing” it, but I like to think that Vanilje looks up to Mads a little. Like a strong, older brother. Or a father. He pushes her around a bit and acts the tough, but she still likes him. Yes. A little weird I am maybe.<\/p>\n

What else has happened? My ex-new-best-friend-maybe came by and picked up his two WoW games. I still have his phone number, if I should ever get a credit card. “Cause you’re missing out”. Too bad.<\/p>\n

I have started work on the update of TMU’s website. And quickly hit a bump in the road. Their menu is done in javascript. Not only do I loathe javascript and have it turned off in my browser, but it’s also a lot more complicated than just copy\/pasting text. I hope I can fidget something out. I have enlisted the aid of Kat, the most gorgeous webdesigner this side of the Mississippi. Javascript isn’t her strong side either though, she isn’t sure she can help me. But we’ll see. I’m sure something can be worked out. I have already “spent” half the promised reward. And am planning to spend the other half on a memory card for my new camera. So yeah, I better work something out!<\/p>\n

I had dinner with the parents tonight. Chicken, mmm. Unfortunately the potatoes hadn’t boiled long enough. And my mother does not like my beard. Grumble. But life goes on. My dad has been helping me clean the toilet. So it’s spotless now. Spotless. There are so many things that I am still learning.<\/p>\n

Finally, here is a song for the road: http:\/\/youtube.com\/watch?v=_C1UqHWGibk<\/a>. Bittersweet memories on the dancefloor. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
