HTC Touch Pro 2 coming out this summer

Monday, February 23rd, 2009

Just when I thought the Palm Pre was my next phone, HTC ups the stakes with the new HTC Touch Pro 2.    My wife and I desperately need a new phone, so it will probably come down to which phone is available first.

Installing Ubuntu 8.04 on ASUS EEE-PC 701

Sunday, September 14th, 2008

I bought an Asus EEE-PC 701 a while back for my wife to use and it came with Windows XP installed on it.  While it was useful for her to browse the web/IM there wasnt much else she could do with it without having to purchase additional software ( Email Programs / Office / Finance / Games / etc)

We decided to install Ubuntu on it instead to get a better selection of programs available.  I found the following guide extremely helpful in getting everything working: http://wiki.eeeuser.com/getting_ubuntu_8.04_to_work_perfectly

** I was having a problem installing Ubuntu 8.04 from an external USB CDROM Drive.  At about 35 – 36% into the file copy, it I would get:

“The installer encountered an error copying files to the hard disk:

[Errno 5] Input/output error”

I checked the CDROM for defects and it passed.  Tried it a couple of times again with still no luck.  I ended up creating a usb flashdrive installation using the following software and it finally worked. http://unetbootin.sourceforge.net/

BTW: I found this afterwards and may be a good option as well. http://eeebuntu.org/

Bought a few new creatures for our tank – Goodbye to our clown

Sunday, August 3rd, 2008

We just recently purchased:

Flame Angel: http://www.centralpets.com/animals/fish/saltwater_fish/swf1904.html
Finger Leather Coral: http://www.centralpets.com/animals/fish/saltwater_inverts/swi1705.html
Mushroom Coral: http://www.centralpets.com/animals/fish/saltwater_inverts/swi1715.html
Green Button Polyps: http://reefcorner.com/SpecimenSheets/button_polyps.htm

Sadly, our clown severely injured the Flame Angel and several of the coral when introduced into the tank.  After 2 years of having our clown, we decided it was best to take it to the store and let them re-sell it to someone else.

Office Rage in a Cube Farm

Friday, June 6th, 2008

Very scary look at what happens when a co-worker has hit their trigger point.  They sound like they are speaking Russian, so I am assuming this is from one of the loosely coupled states in Asia.
