I'm posting this from inside my Gentoo laptop. W00t!
I also had another thought.
Background – My next vehicle is probably going to be a 2005 Toyota Highlander Hybrid. Nice, big, comfortable, good for hauling stuff, but getting the fuel economy of a small car.
Looking in to it however, I see that the system will peak at [...]

I've given up on the whole “I need to run a mainstream distro so that I can give people advice on it”.
So, yesterday and today, I did a test run of gentoo on the humidor PC. There was one initial hurdle – apparently, Via C3 processors aren't really i686's – they're kind of a hybrid [...]

Windows users have stockholm syndrome

Overall “Apple Experience” issues:
- Package was missing Panther & iLife upgrade bundles and warranty
cards. (These are being overnighted to me)
- Package was missing correct 3 prong -> wall wart cable. (Haven't told

“Refurbished iBook” section. This led me to assume that it was [...]

Kind of annoyed. Since it wasn't in the “Previous Generation iBook” section, I thought it was a G4. As it turns out, it's a G3. I'm going to play with it tonight, and if it's too slow, I'll send it back.
Of course, this means that the AirPort Extreme (802.11g) that I bought doesn't work with [...]

So, I bought a 14″ iBook.
I'm over Liz's house. Her housemate, Irene, is graduating soon, and going to be doing some research work and travelling a lot. A laptop would be handy, she says, help me pick one. Well, what do you want to do with it, we ask. Well, she needs all the normal [...]

My Rio Karma arrived today.
Overview:
- Open the whole thing up
- Use a Windows machine at work to upgrade firmware (only works via USB, which only works under Windows)
- Put it in the dock and connect the ethernet cable
- Karma gets IP address, and you can look it up from the front panel
- Connect to Karma's [...]
