Welcome to 2008
This is me joining in the new years fun. Here are my resolutions for 2008, unordered:
- Finish degree, get a 1st
- Get an offer of a PhD place, and take it up in September
- Go swimming more often
- Get involved with Ubuntu, try some packaging, maybe MOTU
- See home friends more
Not many, and not too ambitious, I hope. Except maybe the PhD bit.
Anyways, I'm really enjoying my eee so far. The only things that annoy me a bit are the small keyboard (with weird right shift placement, on the right of the up arrow key, wtf?) and the flakiness of the built in wireless manager, which just seems generally hard to use. Oh, and Thunderbird isn't very enjoyable on such a small screen. Usable though. The folks over at eeeuser.com seem to have done all sorts of crazy things with theirs, and it is fast becoming my first port of call when I want to do anything. After I get back up to uni tomorrow I'll be able to pick up my new SDHC card and RAM and install eeeXubuntu, which should (barring any problems) make it perfect.
Now I'm off to pack and revise. Oh, what joy.
