As mentioned, I'm making use of my 250GB external hard disk as a backup for all my photos & as the primary source for the notebook.
Recently, I dug up some photo backup CDs & DVDs & I've copied all of them onto the ext. HD too. It's a lot of bloody photos to consolidate. I've 7500 in my library & I still have to merge in some more folders. Then I'll have to group them for convenience.

New Stuff
Got the new Linksys wireless router today. Messed up a bit at the start setting up the MAC filtering but sorted it out in the end. Have the notebook & PDA communicating with it & have the Xbox wired directly in for file transfer etc.
Also got an extra 512MB of RAM for the notebook. Speeds things up nicely.

London
As mentioned by lady_bastet, we will be heading off to London at the end of the month & by coincidence, my job has asked me to attend a course in London just after our weekend.
The course is near enough to allow us to stay near Paddington station. lady_bastet will be able to see the sights, go shopping, etc. while I'm at the course.
Then when I'm done with the course, we'll get another weekend to have fun.

Herb Dade
I received a very sad email this morning from the Tassel Club informing me that Herb Dade had passed away.
Herb played in the Tassel Club's jazz band which was an essential piece of each night's cast of characters. The band kept people's feet tapping while Herb kept people's ears listening at various stages in a show.
Herb will be greatly missed by his family, friends & fans.

Weekend
Busy weekend, me very tired now.
Popped into town briefly with lady_bastet & pearcider. Just wandered around, got something to eat & bought lady_bastet a painting easel as a present for her new promotion. We all headed back to my house as there was little point in pearcider heading back home.
As it was aurniam's birthday, happy f*cking birthday as CombiChrist would say, we headed into town for dinner. Was really nice. Yummy zingy sauce on the king do chicken.
After that, we headed down to Dominion where I was DJing along with Paul F & Arthur. Set went well, Orla should have it online soon. Rest of the night went well but we headed home a little early as lady_bastet was very tired after being ill at the end of last week.
Between all that madness including burning a stack of CDs for my set, I managed to get my new PC setup in order. Nothing major just a bit of data reorganisation.
I have a 250GB USB external hard drive in Finglas which was sitting idle, so I decided to make proper use of it to free up some much needed space on my notebook. I've setup a synchronisation routine with SyncToy to copy anything new in My Music, Pictures, Videos or Podcasts to the external drive, which I will bring across when I'm in back in Finglas. Saves me bringing across the whole notebook as well. With all the data on the external drive, I've freed up about 25GB on the notebook & may do a format to set things back in order.

PhotoBox RIP
After singing the praises of PhotoBox for the past year or so, I've decided to make the move to Yahoo's Flickr.
After first discovering their photo feeds then their excellent tagging system & other tools I was hooked.
The only thing holding me back was a similar slideshow tool to PhotoBox. It was tricky to "borrow" the script but I think I have it sorted now. Will do some test galleries & make the change over in phases.

LiveJournal Friends OPML
For those of you who use an RSS reader & would like to add your LiveJournal Friends, I've just found a "secret" LJ tool to export to OPML which can then be imported by most RSS readers.
Just go to http://www.livejournal.com/tools/opml.bml?user=exampleusername where exampleusername is your LJ name then save this to your PC as a .opml file.
I "say" secret because I haven't found any proper links on LiveJournal
