OMG, Y’all!
Wednesday, July 9th, 2008I got my new notebook today and depsite the fact that it’s running Vista, I think I might be more than a little bit in love with it. It’s pretty! It’s shiny! It’s got a sexy case! The monitor is high-def, wide-screen! Ho-lee shit!
Now I want another one so Kitti and I don’t have to fight over this one.
Oh, also, Mim’s WeeePC totally works now.
Almost Got It
Monday, July 7th, 2008Mim’s WeeePC now understands wireless internet. It still doesn’t understand “There’s a cord plugged in. Use that.” But at least I got some understanding out of it.
Wish I had wireless in the house. I have the things I need. I’m just lazy.
Anyhow. Just have to get the right drivers from the site (thanks, eXtraheavy, for the link) and all should be well.
My new notebook shipped today and I should have it sometime this week. I’d still like to eventually figure out how to fix the current one though. One can never have too many computers.
Right. So.
Saturday, July 5th, 2008I’ve installed XP on Mim’s eeePC, but there’s one small problem.
I can’t get the internet connection to work. I have DSL. She has DSL. It should just be a matter of plugging in the ethernet cable, right?
Right?
Li’l help, guys?

Dell Redux
Sunday, June 29th, 2008Actually… what’s the word for when something’s the third? Because the notebook was a Dell, the desktop is a Dell, and I’ve just ordered a new Dell notebook. It’s actually slightly less flash than the one that died, but it has everything I want — and Windows Vista.
I will give Vista a chance. If I hate it, I am going to remove it and put XP on it. TAKE THAT, MICROSOFT!
Or, if Kitti doesn’t mind Vista, it can be his computer exclusively.
Still want a Kindle.
Today, the dog destroyed the power cable for Mim’s eeePC. We were trying to figure out how to get her camera to talk to her computer and it was just not happening.
Anyhow, I bought her a replacement power cord, but that still leaves me with the question of how to get the camera and PC to talk to each other. Help!
Does ANYONE out there know ANYTHING about the eeePC that might be able to offer some advice? Does the fact that the USP ports on the computer say “USB 2.0″ have anything to do with it? Like… if the cable for the camera doesn’t say “USB 2.0″ might there be a compatibility issue?
I am not a hardware person. Have you noticed that?
