So I posted recently on how to get the camera working in Skype 2 Beta on the MacBook. One of the most common questions after that post was “But how do I get the microphone to work!?” So, I started toggling switches and trying stuff out until I could reproduce working microphone [...]
I started a blog post on how to install Ubuntu 7.10 on the EeePC and before I knew it the post was about a mile long. I figured it was better at that point to publish the information on the Ubuntu community Wiki (this one is for you Popey). So, for all of you [...]
I realized the other day that the flashplugin-nonfree package appears to be broken. It’ll act like its installing but at the end, if you pay close attention, it’ll give an error about the md5sum not matching and give up. This applies to installing the package manually or via the browser notification itself. I wanted to [...]
Just wanted to throw out a quick Happy Holidays to all the readers out there. I will be posting some “Ubuntu on the Eee PC” tutorials just as soon as I get them organized. There is a lot of really helpful documentation on the Eee user website, but some of it does seem a [...]
I set up Evolution again today to tie into my gmail IMAP but I notice the performance is terribly slow. Does anyone else have this same issue? I’ve been using webmail for some time now, is that comparing apples to oranges? If anyone has any tips on speeding up Evolution when tied [...]
So I’m back with Ubuntu now after a week of testing the Fedora waters. Wow its nice to be back in the living of the “Just Works”! There were far too many things that didn’t work in Fedora.. too frustrating for me.
In any event, one of the first things that I tried setting [...]
I know we just had a folding release earlier today, and it is still super-awesome, but I had a little time to think this afternoon and I added a little bit more to it. I went with my wife to the doctor regarding the baby that is on the way and, well, you know how [...]
Well, its time again for another folding.sh update. This release, version 0.6, is a MAJOR update from all previous versions. This is one that I’m really proud of and I’ve tested pretty heavily. To give you an idea, I installed Stanford’s Folding @ Home client to ten machines on my network–all different [...]
I’ve been tinkering with the XO laptop this morning and I thought I’d share some specs with everyone that is interested. I’m still exploring the machine, but here are some interesting details that I found. I’ve included hardware details from processor, memory and hard disk to software details including running kernel, included software, etc. [...]
I came home from work this evening to a very pleasant surprise! The XO laptop I ordered had arrived in a smaller-than-expected box. I hope the child on the other end of this donation is as excited as I am!
I’m actually blogging this from the XO browser on my home wireless network. More details to [...]
