We have two EEE’s now; one with the stock Xandros and one with EEE-Ubuntu that I installed. The nettops [...]
Well, as you can guess it’s been an interesting day.
Up at 6am for the hamfest. I have no idea why this is, especially as I’ve spent most of my life staying in bed late. The hamfest is not what you think either. It’s a sort of flea market for amateur radio, electronics, and computer geeks. [...]
