As the title suggests, I've been incredibly busy - mostly with work - lately. That'll teach me to take on writing most of Computer Buyer in a single month.

I also got to go to Dublin and, as I've never flown or been abroad before, I was highly excited.

Flying is amazing: I've told people at work that the next time a trip pops up where there's a plane involve, stick me on it. I've written more about flying and the whole trip over on the PC Pro blog, so you can read that they're if you're at all interested. Which you probably won't be.

The rest of my time has been devoted to finishing my current Labs for the magazine which, in turn, has mostly been spent fighting with a Mac Mini.

I do need an answer to this so Chris, please let me know if you're reading: why doesn't the Mac Mini have an eject button? I know you can right-click the icon for the optical drive on the desktop but that can be annoying if you've got several windows open and have to click back to the desktop.

I know they like their products minimalist, but omitting such a basic feature still strikes me as a little odd.

A week on Saturday is my driving test, at 8:40am. I'm probably going to fail, so I'm not too fussed. Oh well.
