I have been thinking lately it’s time to get something ultra portable. What I’m looking for is something small and light, with enough beef to work on a remote location. Even though I love my Toshiba, when trying to be mobile even a 15″ is too big and heavy to comfortably log around.
I have been working of my laptop for close to two years now, and besides the fact that a two year old machine is out of date, I want to be able to work anywhere. Also the glare in the screen of this Toshiba really bothered me today when I was planing on working outside. For the first time in years I have been looking for something else then Toshiba. When looking at laptops to replace this one, the Lenovo line keeps popping up and I must say I love what I’m seeing there. They are finally stepping away from that dreadful boxy look that we are used to from IBM Lenovo. I have yet to actually put my hands on one but the design of the new Lenovo lines look really awesome. Take the Lenovo IdeaPad S10-3 for instance. I love the way that keyboard looks. But when reading Mark Shuttleworth Blog about gestures with multitouch in Ubuntu 10.10, I suddenly could also consider the IdeaPad S10-3t. The S10-3t has you guessed it a touchscreen. Lenovo calls it a tablet, which you could call it even after Steve said a tabled is has no keyboard.
Ik kwam er vandaag na een update van mijn blog software achter dat de RSS feeds die hier rechts de zijbar vulde met blog posts van familie en vrienden niet meer werkt.
Ik ben bezig om dit te repareren om de een of andere reden ben ik nu de info uit de database kwijt. Ik moet dus even een database backup in duiken om dit te repareren en dit moet in mijn vrijetijd. Laat ik daar nu net niet heel erg veel van hebben deze week. Dus zo gauw als ik een momentje heb dan zorg ik dat het weer werk.
If you are following me on Twitter then you already know. My wife decide when the upgrade from 8.04 to 9.04 when the pop-up showed up on her laptop to upgrade right away. This was on Thursday the day that 9.04 was released. This should not have been a problem. However this blog post wouldn’t be here, if it would have worked.
I can only speculate, but I believe that the Canocial server were overloaded with everyone doing updates. As a result of this, one of the update servers became unreachable. Resulting in an incomplete upgrade. The following error came up after the laptop restarted:
After a problem with the Kubuntu update to KDE 4.2, the laptop reinstalled the desktop all together, I’m now running the first Jaunty Jackalope Beta. I like contributing back to the community, most of you already know this see my articles and previous work in here. Installing a beta version and using it on a production box does take some guts.
If you have ever installed a beta product of anything then you know that instability is almost a given. I started the installation of Jaunty on a clean HDD on Friday. Then decided to do the rest of my configuration over this past weekend. I take a little longer setting up my own boxes because I am precise about how stuff is installed.
Het heeft even geduurt maar we hebben een datum. Ik kon niet eerder plaatsen want de dokter heeft gezegt dat ik moest rusten en niet op de laptop mocht. Ik heb een verkoudheid die maar niet over wil.
Marcy gaat Maandag onder het mes. De operatie tijd is 11 uur s’morgens als er niks mis gaat met de dame die voor haar geopereerd word.
We zijn er helemaal klaar voor.
Ik zal zorgen dat ik in het ziekenhuis wireless heb zodat ik iedereen op de hoogte kan houden.
Dat is het voor deze kleine nieuws update. Terug naar het rust houden enz….
