I am a loser.

Right now I'm sitting at a Starbucks drinking a mocha latte' sitting on my laptop. Yes, I am the biggest loser in the world. I think there is a guy trying to hit on me. Hmmmm. I think it's time to leave.

Strange Happenings.

Recently me and my ex-wife went out to a club together. As strange as it may seem, I actually had a really good time. Maybe we got together better because there was a lack of expectations. Knowing that I didn't have to put up with her crap. Or worrying about how she would react in social situations. Just in case you were wondering, I have ZERO interest in ever getting back with her. None whatsoever.

I don't know. Is it normal for a person to go out with his ex-wife? She seemed to be okay with me hitting on girls. I really didn't though. It's just kind of strange. I was hoping that she would talk to someone. Instead she was just making fun of two guys with mullets. I hope she moves on. I just doubt she will ever date or get married again.

I'm glad that we have a friendly relationship. It could have ended much worse...

Much to do about nothing.

Not only did Fay not become a hurricane, it did not even come near me. At least I have the day off. It kind of sucks that everything is closed today though. I guess I'll just dick around the house and get some good studying time in. Hell, I may even sneak in a game or two. Thanks to everyone for your concern and thanks to my mother who calls me twice an hour telling me I'm going to die.

Fay,

I'm ready for the storm. I still have no idea if I have to work tomorrow or not. I signed up to come in if need be. Hazard pay baby! I have enough food and water to last a few days. To bad I don't have "Rock you like a Hurricane" on my pc.

Anyways the forecast changed, moving the center of the storm away from me. . You never know though.

I am on Eee.

I have been searching for a while now to find a laptop that will fit my needs. I just needed something basic for web surfing and writing documents. I didn't need anything to powerful as a have a decent gaming rig desktop. I decided to go with the Eee by Asus. At $400 it was cheaper than most laptops. So I put my order in and got it two days later. Newegg rocks.

When I opened it I just couldn't believe how small this thing is. It's far smaller than any laptop I have ever seen. It weighs a whole 2 pounds. Honestly this thing is unreal. I've been playing with it for two days now, so I have made a list of good and bad things.

Positives

+ Very small size. Smaller than those portable DVD players that you see.

+ Crystal clear screen. Good resolution, No dead pixles, good line of sight, no ghosting

+ Lightweight. About 2 pounds.

+ Runs on Xandros Linux. Screw Microsoft and their bloated overpriced OS.

+ Fast Boot. Only takes about 17-20 seconds to boot.

+ Comes preloaded with a good assortment of programs. Firefox, Open Office, Pidgin, Skype.

+ SSD. Comes with a Solid State Drive for durability and fast loading.

+ Built in Webcam and Mic. Now I can take pictures of myself where ever I go. At 1.3 Mega Pixle It's decent enough.

Negitives

- Small Keyboard. Being a small laptop the keyboard is tiny. I'm a over 60wpm typer with a normal keyboard. Not so much with this one. If you have large fingers forget it. Takes getting used to.

- Batteries Don't last to long. About an hour and a half fully charged.

- Speakers could be better. Not for music.

- The Xandros kernal that it comes with is limited. I much prefer Ubuntu. I may load it into here.

- The SSD has slow write times. But this is the case with most SSD's.

- Installing programs is a pain. Because of Xandros.

- WiFi with WPA2 has issues. This is a known issue. There are command lines that you can change but it still may drop. So far I have had no issues with WEP.
