Mícheál Ó Foghlú links to this PDF slideset. I haven’t read it yet, but it sounds interesting.

This post is just a test of my Google Calendar

It might be of use if you knew where I went on holiday. (Although I may have taken the photo at a different time.)

I’ve been thinking about buying a digital SLR for a while. I currently prefer the idea of a Canon EOS 350D (I think that’s a Rebel Xt in the US). The reason for looking at an EOS is that I already have a flash and lenses (for my Canon EOS 500N film camera), otherwise I might have thought about a Nikon. The dpreview.com website seems to be a good resource for anyone buying a digital camera.

I bought a Holux GPSlim236 GPS receiver recently. It’s a bluetooth device that can be used with a laptop, PDA, or Smartphone. I’ve used it with all three and I’ve been impressed. (However it is my first GPS device, so I’m not comparing it with anything else. There are lots of reviews on the Internet if people are interested – Google search)

It was also my first eBay purchase. (I find it surprising that it took so long for me to buy from eBay – my first Internet purchase was probably over 10 years ago)
