It's forever since I've posted!

I'm not doing anything very interesting so the only thing I really have to update with is pictures of Lydia, who is asleep on me at the moment. It's getting harder to take pictures of her, because she thinks that the camera is really fascinating and tries to grab it every time she sees it. Other things which get this treatment include drinks, especially if they're hot or alcoholic, anything made of paper, the phone and the remote control.

EDIT: Are the pictures really huge or is my tiny Eee monitor just making them look so? I can shrink them all a bit more.

I expect quite a lot of people got this from cantabile last night but for anyone who didn't, Lydia was born on July 27th at 10.50pm. She weighed 7lb 6oz and she is very beautiful with lots of hair. We got home from the hospital yesterday evenings.

I'm going to steal one of cantabile's pictures because my camera's upstairs and I can't be bothered to go and get it at the moment, but before too long I'll make a post with more pictures and gory details!

I suppose it's time for an introduction which might help explain my absence.

Oh, livejournal. If only I were not painfully stupid.

I have a Palm TX. I have several eBooks, in .lit and .rgo formats. I have absolutely no idea how to make them readable on my Palm TX (see sentence 1). Google is not helping.

Does anyone have any idea how I can make my Palm TX into my ebook-reading bitch?

In return, I will link you to this amazing walrus-type animal. Even if you have seen it many times before, it is worth looking at again.

Websites that will not work:

Yahoo.
Gmail.
Hotmail.
The Beeb.

Websites that will work (and are thus preserving what is left of my sanity)

Livejournal.
NME.com

This is what it's going to be like when the revolution starts and society breaks down, isn't it? Me sitting over my keyboard whimpering "But what if I have an email and I don't know about it..." while the zombies start to break their way through my door to eat my brain. I'm just waiting for the shakes and itchy blood to start.

HA AND THE GODS OF IRONY LISTENED BECAUSE GMAIL HAS JUST LOADED AND MY BRAIN FEELS SOOTHED.

I'm posting this anyway though, as testiment to just how pathetic I am.

I don't have a banner because I realised my old one was stupid, deleted it and then didn't bother to make a new one so just imagine that bit, okay.

Journal contains:

- whining

These are the people who made the brushes that I've used in my icons. If I've missed someone out, I'm sorry.

Caps for Oasis icons nicked from niav without even asking (:-O) which seems only fitting 'cause it's her fault I even made Oasis icons.
