Let them eat Australian Prime Ministers

Listening to:

Beethoven, string quartet op. 132 in A minor. Played by the Quartetto Italiano.

A new computer on my desk

My old work computer couldn’t cut it anymore, so it’s been replaced by a new and flasher PC, with bigger screens, more CPU and lots of general loveliness. The old machine was called raceme, a botanical term nicely pictured in this Wikipedia article. (It wasn’t a general invitation for other speedier computers to show it their heels.)

My new computer is called gorton, after an Australian Prime Minister who “began to be considered leadership material once he moderated his early extremely right-wing views”. Hmmm.
