In the closet

Saturday, February 28th, 2009

Finally, my Asus EEE Box B202 has arrived.

It is a very small computer, with its main property that it does not consume a lot of energy. This way I can get to my files and manage my downloads while I am away from home. It is conveniently stored in my hallway closet next to my wireless router and ADSL modem.

You can see a windows logo on there. I still have to remove the stickers :-) It of course runs on linux. I still have to fix an annoying problem: I cannot connect with ssh to it directly… I have to use an outside machine for that… no idea at the moment.

Lost and found part 2

Wednesday, February 18th, 2009

First of all sorry for my late post.  I will try to do better in the future :-)

As stated in part 1 I am very good in losing things. So let me sum up what I lost last month

  1. Pocket knife – I always carry with me my pocket knife. I got it for my birthday when I was a little boy and I still carry it around with me all the time. It can be handy in a lot of situations. I lost it after using it.  I apparently put it somewhere in a crate where a friend found it for me. Lost for about two weeks.
  2. Diary – Next to my pocket knife I always carry a little diary book in my back pocket. I work in the IT  but I hate PDAs. With this little diary I do not forget any appointments. I put it in a bag while I needed to change trousers and I forgot where I had put it. Lost for about two weeks.
  3. Cell phone – Yup cell phone :S I left it in a building where I rehearse. Fortunately it was a church, and thou shall not steal still applies. The owner emailed me that he found it. Lost for three days.

Luckily of the above  I found everything again. I still have not found my watch and Ipod yet. I had to go to the phone store to enable my subscription again that I had blocked when I lost it.  I left the store with a shiny new Nokia 5310 :-)
