Internet Cafe

I had a catch up day today. There was bit of paperwork to do and a mass of emails to send (and receive). There were a couple of small jobs to be done and a few little purchases to make.

I made the visit to Trickie Dickies that I needed to make and while I was [...]

Updating

I’ve been fiddling around with some new stuff on the eee PC. Things like tethering my cellphones for internet access (via USB and bluetooth) and updating Google Earth, VLC, VNC and RDP. That’s why this cartoon tickled my fancy …

They hadn’t done the same with the nice shiney Mac Book Air sitting just a metre away. Surely [...]

Apologies for the poor video quality. It came from a zoomed [...]

Eee By Gum

On Monday of this week I went to Dick Smith Electronics and bought an EeePc (that in itself was quite funny as the sales droid proceeded to ex-plain in words of one syl-la-ble that this was-n’t a real com-pu-ter but was really a toy ma-dam. Thanks but I know what it is).

The EeePc is [...]
