Eee PC interest

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?

Wordpress 2.5

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?).
