I got told I had to upload a photo of this. Almost a month ago, Microsoft sent out launch kits for Windows Vista & Office – being a distributor and OEM we received these kits. They came with the usual stuff, information brochures, lanyards with info sheets but also surprisingly they came with lollipops too – and they’re tasty!

No, they don’t kill you they may however be, like any Microsoft product, susceptible to viruses.

Interestingly enough after Microsoft did such a fine implementation of UAC (User Account Control) in Vista, they seemed to have forgotten about it in the lollipop and you’re not asked every 5 to 10 seconds if you’re intentionally trying to eat it or if you meant to take the wrapper off. Finally, a Microsoft product that lets you get on with it.

I’ve created a Windows Sidebar gadget for users of Mint so they can get a quick glance at their statistics similarly to the Junior Mint widget for Mac OS X.

Read about it & download a copy if you’re interested.

So I was away from the 16th until the 26th on the yearly holiday down at Lake Conjola. The perfect opportunity to put the new camera to the test.

Unfortunately we had some problems with our boat. (I believe it’s called lack of use and neglect from its owner) However, that didn’t stop those that wanted to wakeboard from wakeboarding and getting up to mischief on the water.

Uhhh, oops?
