Well here I am, bloging for real!

I’m sat in the Goldsworth Park Surgery as Rich visits his GP. There is a little three year old boy sat next to me reading his Richard Scarry book and I’m typing away in my WordPressDash Widget.

I should be working since I was in the middle of my Nuffield homework, but as soon as I sat down here and woke up my Mac it asked if I wanted to join a local wireless network called SpeedtouchC68C80.

Assuming it would ask for a password, I clicked ‘join’ just for the fun of it. And now I’m online wirelessly in my Doctors Surgery. No password needed!

So there you go. My MacBook’s first outing and my first blog post from the Doctor’s!

Oh well, back to the homework!

Well, Ive just installed a new widget on my dashboard. No, not in my car - on my MacBook!

This little widget called WordPressDash allows me to post to my blog direct from my dashboard.

Bloody brilliant!

Yippeeee!! I have a MacBook! Ordered it online and UPS delivered it at lunch time.

Now with my 10Mb broadband (well about 9.5 actually but what’s half a meg between friends!) I can do things like watch Erasure videos on YouTube!

Finally, at long last, having saved up my pennies for well over a year, if not more, I’ve caught up with the real world! So Steve, if your reading this out in Amsterdam, thanks mate! Should have bought one years ago! (Fancy an iChat then?)

I knew my Mac would be good, but had no idea how good! It’s just brilliant! I’ve only been playing for a couple of hours, and it’s great. I’m sat on the roof terrace in the sunshine wirelessly blogging and I’m doing just fine. I’ve even worked out how to get my searches in Safari using Google.co.uk and not the default .com (For anyone interested, download and install Inquistor, select Safari>Preferences>Search and then set your preferred search engine from the rather extensive list - Google UK is right at the bottom.)

Sorry to sound so excited, but I really am! My 10 year old Dell Laptop (no battery) was only being used to print with, and my RISC OS desktop is not up to much anymore though I’m sure I’ll still use it - if only occasionally.

Well, I can’t sit here blogging, I’m half way through my Nuffield homework (we’ve been doing the senses) and it’s due tomorrow!
