So today's the day of the Brighton devMEET that myself and =Alomie are organising! Should hopefully be a good day - the weather's not bad, it's rather windy, but the sun's out and there are interesting fluffy white clouds around. I think there's some rain forecast this evening, but we'll be well ensconced in a pub by then I would think!

In other news, last weekend we went to visit my parents on the border of Wales in the deep countryside. The weather was a let-down and didn't give much opportunity for photography, which was one of the main things I was looking forward to (other than seeing my parents of course!), but I still managed to get a few shots which are useable. I haven't got around to processing them yet though - Battlefield Heroes ([link]) is taking up time which would normally be reserved for that

Also, I'm building myself a new rig . =Alomie's having my current machine as it's way more powerful than her laptop and can easily handle Photoshop and all the current games etc. So in under two weeks I'll be ordering all the parts to build myself...

• AMD Phenom II X4 940 (3GHz / core, 4 cores)
• 8GB PC2 8500 1066MHz OCZ Reaper RAM
