Golf's a funny game!

So I played golf today at Glen Waverley and got 25 points but I have worked out that I seem to lose my mojo and need to eat at every second hole. I wonder if having breakfast could change that?

Anyway the funny part of golf is last Monday I played at Southern with the WGN in the qualifying team event for the Peugeot Women's Classic - now I only play for the joy of it, my handicap and my erratic game does not a winner make.

However it happened that the other two ladies I played with had reasonable games, mine was okay (got 19 points) but combined our score was enough for us to win the event, get a prize (a compact mirror which obviously is not for me to use to apply lipstick!!) and potentially play in the state final of the classic, which I have discovered is on Thursday 4th December. I'm still highly amused by this! Gotta love playing golf!

geek gadget 2

Geek factor 4/10 - bought this at Dick Smith - 1st as a gift, then for myself then for another gift. Geek factor pretty high - got a couple of "wow that's so cool". I used the sad line of "Now I'm my greatest fan" and the message states "Lyn rocks!" - what else do you need?

Gadget of the week... Eee PC 900

So we have established that I am a bit of a geek, I cannot deny it. Therefore it is my duty as a geek and a purchaser of gadgets to discuss this publicly, mostly because I can.

So I saw this little cutey in the shop and decided that I had to have it... mostly for the geek factor.. that is "Wow, Lyn, that is so cool!" , "yeah I know"

Am I happy? definitely for the geek factor but the machine itself "which I affectionately labelled 'handbook' - well it kinda miffs me. It's a tad slow and I can't get secure wireless working at uni which is really the only place I will use it! It has a 900mhz processor, 1 Gb ram and 30 gb harddrive under the hood and I think it s the processor that's the factor here.

But hey the geek factor gives me a buzz... and I got a free 120Gb hard drive with it. Thinking of giving it a spin with ubuntu, maybe that will make me happier. Will let you know.
