It amazes me what this little machine can do without the top of the line specs. I would've liked to get maybe 8GB memory or a SSD, but this will be perfect for a couple years.
Got a tip for us?

Package just arrived yesterday at last! Xit 72 inches Professional tripod
New screwdriver - 16" long so I can reach the safety latch on my tv wall mount.
I have that exact same desk in black. I love it!computer desk @ ikea.
It does look like a solid beast of a tripod! I hope it's not too heavy for you to carry around with your kit as well, @Badrottie .
My new 100mm x 100mm (4" x 4") Hi-tech 16 stop Firecrest ND filter should be here by Thursday, woot woot!
I also got a new pair of massively reduced cans from Sony. They were basically a third of their retail price!

Id like to do similar, is it as simple as just one cable from your router into the switch, and then cables out to various locations?
Yes... straight-through CAT 6 cable from the router to one of the switch's ports. Doesn't matter. Then other devices plug into the switch. For me, the trick was getting the CAT 6 from the router in the living room into on of the bedrooms (office) without drilling (rental). I ran the cable concealed in the ceiling moulding around the room, then dropped to the floor and as cleanly as possible through a door jam. Used cable tacks to secure the cable to the base boards. Other than the cable routing, its as simple as it sounds.
Very nice Parker. I have several from the 60's I collected when I was a kid
Found quite a nice deal on it.
I've got five Parkers now, including a 51 from the 50s which is probably the best pen I own (besides this new one!). Always nice to have a nice pen when you're writing sides and sides of A4 everyday.Very nice Parker. I have several from the 60's I collected when I was a kid

Nice. But as a lefty, I hated those things. Everything that I wrote was smeared and the side of my had was always the color of the ink. TGFBPP (thank God for ball point pens)!
Boo - ballpoints!
I know a few people who use fountain pens as lefties, and one can adopt an 'under-writer' or 'over-writer' style to avoid smudging. However, I can totally see how the convenience of a ballpoint (especially if one doesn't write much) could outweigh the potential gains of a FP.
I like them as it makes writing a lot more interesting, and the variety of inks you can use. Then you can get into things like stub nibs and pens with flex and it opens a whole new world of possibilities!
My last purchase was this beautiful 15" PowerBook G4. I snagged it for $95 from eBay and it's a great machine to take to work with me, as shown here.
Pre-ordered a 2016 Volkswagen Golf R in Limestone Grey w/ DSG/Navigation. Had to put in a $300 deposit to have them try to pull it for me. I guess pre-orders open Thursday morning, so it's not guaranteed at this point, but I do like my chances due to most people going with black or blue. We'll see Thursday... (not my pic)
