Post-holiday happiness

As you have read from my previous post, Formentera was great! Unfortunately holidays don't last forever, and then it's good to come home to some nice surprises. The first one wasn't a real surprise, since I ordered it myself: my MacBook had arrived :). I can certainly recommend it, apart from the fact that I've fallen for Apple's design, Tiger is even better than Panther (widgets!!!) and the built-in iSight is just fantastic (everyone loves photobooth). I'm also quite happy with the weight, as my previous laptop wasn't so much a portable as a "nice big screen to watch films on in bed". Oh and did I mention that the screen is fantastic? My holiday pics look even better on it than on towel (my 800MHz iMac). Yes, I'm very happy with my new toy.

Another great surprise was to be found in my mailbox. The first paper I've written on my own got accepted to a conference. So now I'm processing the reviewers' comments and trying to improve the language etc. Note to self: reread your work after a good night's sleep before you submit it :)
