Here is a collection of pictures I took over the weekend. The first is of my Amiga 1500 on the desk Amy gave to me. It’s a fairly standard PC desk with the usual shelves and stuff to hide your bits of PC and mess in. I was going to use it for my PC, but one look at the neatly arranged wire under my desk put me off pretty quickly. Everything under my desk is cable-tied together neatly and then hung from hooks to prevent me standing on it.

The next picture is something I took while in the Meadowhall Shopping Centre. It’s a good old crashed machine image. This seems to be an XP machine running Powerpoint. The dialog explains a serious error has occurred and that Microsoft are very sorry about it. The Meadowhall Centre is a very confusing place to walk around, the maps aren’t that accurate and the general throng of headless chickens parading about makes stopping to find your bearings tricky.

We did find another amusing thing to take a picture of though. The main food centre has a fresh juice bar with possibly the most silly name on the planet. The people behind the counter looked at us with resignation as we whipped out our cameras to take a photo. I’m sure they keep a tally of people who point, laugh or take photos of their stand. I know I would.

I present to you… LoveJuice…

Please ignore the ‘creative’ image placement. WordPress’s visual editor has weird issues with image placement. It also now seems to strip the LJ tags from my posts, which is a bit irritating.

I have just upgraded my diary to Wordpress 2.5. I’m using the Subversion method and it was total simplicity to perform the upgrade. The Livejournal Crossposter didn’t work afterwards, but I’ve found a patch and there’s now a Crosspost section on this Write Post page.

The visual editor looks better, but my Akismet spam protection seems to have vanished, and I need to find out where the plugin upload part is.

Ahh I just noticed it suggests tags for me. That’s good.
