Since my work schedule is bordering on the hectic, I was thinking on buying something to get me more organized. Rather than a PDA, I’ve been rather interested in the Asus Eee PC: small form factor, SSDs and Linux preinstalled are definitely pluses. It’s too bad that at least in Italy Asus sells only the 512M RAM version (when there are more powerful options available elsewhere).
I’d like to get impressions on the Asus Eee, before considering a purchase (€ 300 are still a lot): did you try it? How was it? And if not Eee, are there other interesting alternatives?
I have upgraded this blog to Wordpress 2.5. As a result, there are some functions, such as the image gallery, that have been disabled due to the annoying habit of the Wordpress developers of making core changes in very little time.
Please report any problems you find, and notice that although the thumbnails look truncated in the new gallery, the full images are actually displayed correctly. I had to fiddle a bit wit the “new media manager”, not only because it’s in Flash, but because at least on Linux it gives odd results (apparently no one from the WP team bothered to check past Win and OSX?).
I haven’t posted anything in a month or so. Quite a long time, considering I used to write at least once per week. The reasons are mainly two: first of all, my work schedule has taken a turn for the worse, which means I have to do my job a lot harder than before; secondly, there wasn’t much interesting stuff to report.
Let’s resume from the hiatus by writing about my latest Final Fantasy XI session. Given that Square Enix didn’t release a lot of content for the recent Wings of the Goddess update, I did the few (four) quests in total in one day. Although the story was quite interesting, they were far too easy. I could have done them alone, probably. I wonder, what was the point of waiting four months for that? At least some form of challenge would be appreciated.
I’m not going to write much about the quests themselves, because my brother has done a good job at putting everything together in a single movie. You’ll find the streaming version below (direct link once I manage to get it):
