Hot hot hot

sunny laptopWorking from home this morning, while I wait for the post to arrive. The wonders of having a degenerating postal system that only delivers around noon :-(

Anyway. One downside I've found about shiny powerbooks is they are a nightmare to work on in sunshine - too damned bright! The light reflecting off the aluminium is a bit intense. It's a choice between glasses and being able to read the screen by squinting, or sunglasses and not being able to read the screen because the contrast isn't great enough.

They have snow blindness. How soon before powerbook blindness becomes a recognised condition?

Alright. I'll stop grumbling about the hardship of being out in the sunshine now. Besides, Cocoon's finished recompiling so time to do something productive ;-)
