Goodbye old friend ... I'll miss you

Ever had a friend who

• was always there for you, without ever an exception?
  
• made you look cooler?
• made you feel much better?
  
• gave your life much more meaning?
• helped you through the tougher times of your life?
• entertained you the perfect way when the moment required it?

I talk in past tense because I used to have such a friend since I was a young teenager, but had to say goodbye yesterday, the horrible day of Friday March 23rd. Society have decided that said friend is no good for me, and ever again enforce things and rules just hitting his presence, taking him away from me--and there's nothing I can do about it.

So goodbye Tobacco! I think about you every other minute, and all the wonderful times we had together. I will truly miss you. A lot.

New from the technology front

So, a friend of mine just noticed these two commercials for upcoming architectures:

Guess it's time to start porting mlmmj. Somebody already ported their stuff--and I have to admit I'm totally amazed:

Wonder what impact these new machines will have on the world?

New camera

So today my new camera is getting shipped, should arrive tomorrow. It's a Sony Cybershot DSC-T10, to replace my old broken Sony Cybershot DSC-P200, where the software controlling the blitz broke. One thing I'm really fond of with the T10, is the Super SteadyShot technology it has. I've a couple of friends--especially Thomas Kjær--who are super duper photographers with really high end equipment, who might frown at me for wanting to use such equipment. But I've never claimed I want anything but just point&shoot with reasonable quality, and for that the T10 is just fine. Besides--it's not only the camera but the operator of it, that makes for good photos (which means my photos will still be mediocre ;-).

Just a damn shame I wont have it for the Nephew concert I'm going to tonight, in the recently rebuilt and expanded Rytmeposten.
