Lazy first evening of summer vacation

Lazy first evening of summer vacation, originally uploaded by anotherme’s stuff.

I am between laptops - now that I’ve finally gotten a desktop computer at work, I’ve convinced my significant other to take over the “monster” laptop that I purchased a couple of years ago in order to actually get that job (small company, we’ve grown since then). I want a smaller one to use at home and out-and-about, I really really want a Macbook but will probably end up with something similar to the one on this photo.

Tonight I’ve been installing and modifying a “hidden” version of Flock on my kid’s laptop (no shortcut icons anywhere, you have to get into the program files folder to start it up). As it’s a pc granted to him for use in school, I don’t want to set up an extra user for it, nor do I want to keep switching bookmarks etc. for his default browser (although Foxmarks made that task a _lot_ easier). Plus, now I can autosave the passwords.

Anyway, Flock is the perfect browser for my social butterfly evenings on the couch, using kiddo’s laptop until I get one of my own! A few glasses of nice, chilled, white wine goes well with it.
