Today my new trackball was delivered, to go with my new Mac. I collected it from the post office on the way to work, opened the outer packaging to make sure it was the right thing, and immediately gave myself a paper cut. Bah.

Also today I am going to World of Computers to buy a colour laser printer, since (duh) I keep wanting to print coloured things. It'll be odd going back to WoC. I used to be the closest thing a home user gets to being a regular customer of theirs, but I haven't set foot in the place in over a year thanks to my 2004 no-gadgets resolution. I wonder if they'll still recognise me.

That means I've bought really quite a lot of gadgets this month, which is a little worrying given that the reason for last year's resolution was that I went somewhat out of control in 2003. But on the other hand, this month's spree is the result of an entire year of bottled-up acquisitive urges, and I don't have anything else on my to-buy list after this, so hopefully I'll be able to calm down for a few months. Until something else shiny catches my eye, at least.
