After discovering the hunk of dust couldn’t be removed, my little Canon went for a check up. Doctors aren’t cheap. I found there’s only one in the whole city of Melbourne who doesn’t outsource the job. It turns out the dust is stuck inside and the whole thing needs to be pulled apart. Sure, do it.
What else am I going to do? So my camera is on the operating table and I’m unable to take any photos…
I feel like a painter without a brush. This is crap. I still have my eyes, so let’s take a look at some pictures.

At work, a colleage was asking about the all new Windows Vista. After the list of requirements was fleshed out and being no more capable than her current version of Windows, she joined the hesitant / reluctant. There is one great advantage though, just one…
One good reason to consider an upgrade to Vista, Microsoft’s just-released upgrade to Windows: the default set of desktop wallpapers it ships with include several from Flickr members.
If you aren’t feeling as rich as Bill and want some new wallpapers, help yourself to any of my photos on flickr. I realized My flickr pro account was soon to expire, so I topped that up with another 2 years of subscription, US$47.99.
Now there’s downtime on the flickr website and the Yahoo! sign in has bastardised the start up process, even for long standing members. Don’t go poking your eyes out just yet, it’ll be back up in no-time.
So the boys at Vintech fixed my baby up and earned a wad of notes. When you have a monopoly, you too can charge like a wounded bull. Actually it was a very reasonable price and I am happy to have my camera again. Just in time for Australia Day.
