My 23″ Cinema Display stopped working last night. It worked in the morning, and now it doesn’t. I have no idea what happened or what’s broken. I miss it… having to put my Safari windows on the same monitor as Mail just seems inappropriate.
I’ve had an interesting weekend. In the Chinese-proverb sense of the word. Friday night I got an email from dad informing me pop was in hospital.

It’s somewhat ‘interesting’ riding back at night… bike lights don’t really do much to actually illuminate your path – they’re really just for safety, I reckon –… Read more
