Time to splitt up!

So, it's time to say good bye… Well, it's not quite as dramatic as it sounds, but I have recently gotten a few other accounts and I'm going to make a few changes. This blog, the Duirstep, will from now on be a more specifically pagan blog. The tech stuff will get moved to another blog, it's under construction. I've also gotten Yahoo! 360ยบ, MySpace and Facebook. Why? Friends! I've got friends on all of these, and now I'm there to. I will come back later and tell you where to find all this.

Maybe some pics eh?

Just thought I'd try and ad some picture from the Luanys festivities. Not that you can get the feelings we did, but hey, it doesn't hurt!



Blessed be!

Luanys

Luanys came and went, and after that summer seems to have begun in Scandinavia. On the 1st we went to a farm an got some eggs, veggies and other things and then had a ceremony under the mighty oak in the light from the happy fire, lit in the name of Ceridwen. It was truly awesome! (No, not like a hot dog, truly awesome)

Blessed be!

Apple to announce new Mac realted…stuff!

On August 7th Apple will be holding a press conference to announce… And that's just the problem, as per usual no one actually knows anything, which is of course setting the rumour industry ablaze. It has been confirmed that Steve Jobs will be attending, but nothing more.

Personally I would go along with Leo Laporte, Adam Christianson and just about everyone else, and that is that we almost certainly will see a new iMac. This is the model most over due, not only in terms of spec, but also in terms of it's design. After all the current iteration started life way back as the iMac G5. Again, according to rumour we will probably see an aluminium iMac, similar in style to the Apple Cinema Displays, and perhaps a new keyboard looking something like this. Needless to say, this would make for decidedly 'droolicious' machines, especially if the 30" screen suggestion turns out to be right!

Other than that, who knows. We could possibly see something about a new iLife, though I would think they'd save that for the release of Leopard in October. Maybe some announcement regarding the Mac Mini. As it stands now, word on the grape vine is that it will be discontinued, but I hope not. An upgraded machine, perhaps merged with the Apple TV? Pure speculation, but it would be a seriously cool computer.

May your computer be blessed, and your keyboard always at your hand,
