And rather snazzy it looks too - A lot cleaner than the previous incarnation, and a very web 2.0 logo to boot!

Much discourse on the new design here.

After my PC spazzed out for the nth time a couple of days ago and decided that running iTunes and Photoshop was all a bit much so it would restart in the hope I'd leave it alone, I decided I'm going to switch.

Not too much of a radical step, given it will only (to begin with at least) influence my next laptop purchase - my trusty PC will still be sat at my desk, turning itself off and on to its heart's content - but one I've had to think pretty carefully about given the launch of Vista, and some of the awful purdy windows laptops around at the moment (yup, I can be easily swayed by shiny materials and pretty colours).

It basically came down to the OS - Vista has had mixed reviews and Tiger is pretty universally praised (with Leopard round the corner which is meant to be even better), and Tiger seems to handle the things I want to do often (iTunes, Photoshop, Dreamweaver) better in particular.

So, despite it not being a particularly original subject to blog about, I will be documenting my switch experience here over the next few weeks to let you know how I get on. Now to go spend all my money at apple.com...

Marrakech was busy, Essaouira was chilled and I was nicely refreshed after my break.

Emphasis on the was. Very much back to work now, and I'm currently wading through a setup of osCommerce attempting to make it look half decent - it's a bitch of a site to work with (thank God for the support forum), but I'm getting there slowly.

Once that's out of the way, I'll be blogging as normal again.
