highlyeccentric: Joie du livre - young girl with book (Joie du livre)
My Christmas plan appears to be 'read ALL the books'. All of them, I tell you! The editing job I was to have been doing fell through, and the internet in Perth is apparently susceptible to heat-related failure, so between mid-morning and late at night I have no internets. I have a pile of assorted books from the Girawheen library (they have a great poetry selection there, for some reason), and the contents of my Kobo - and beyond that, there's Dad's bookshelf waiting for me.

Douglas Adams, Dirk Gently's Wholistic Detective Agency, Nifty but not spectacular )

J.R.R Tolkien, The Hobbit - re-read among many re-reads.

T.S. Elliot, Old Possum's Book of Practical Cats, Full of whimsy and quirk )

Jasper Fforde, The Last Dragonslayer, Was really quite fun )

More updates another day, I have L.M. Montgomery books on my Kobo to get through now.
highlyeccentric: Divide by cucumber error: reinstall universe and reboot (Divide by cucumber)
Netbook is suffering from a very peculiar curse. Dad and I have been trying to create a boot disk, using Recovery Media (windows 7 starter) - this should transfer the data from the boot partition onto a USB stick or SD card.

Instead, it completely borks every drive we try. Borks! Format fails, and one can't re-format them for use as portable storage.

MYSTERIOUS.

I've decided this shall not stop me from ripping Windows out and putting Linux on. Take that, Windows 7 starter, take that.
