Well, I'm back after a bit of an absence. I've been away at a workshop in Berlin, and intended to write some summaries of what was happening while I was there, but it turned out that there wasn't enough time each day, or more importantly anough battery in my laptop while I was sat there in the seminar room! The moral of this tale is that while wireless networking is all very well, it ain't much use without a battery. Similarly, my digital camera broke (again!) while I was away, so only a few pictures as well.... Usually I rate Sony products, but this camera (a 2MP P-51) has had a recurrent shutter problem. Ho hum , I'll just have to see whether I get any joy from the Sony Repair Centre - they were a real hassle last time.
