Good news: Everex has updated their website with the new release date of 15 February: So in about two weeks time it will hit Walmart and ZaReason, after which my friend has to order one, get it delivered and ship it to me - so I am looking at a end-of-February date before I can hold [...]

I’ve updated nmap and amap packages to their latest upstream release version, and I will continue to update and add security software to the repository. First on the list of software to [...]

As I am still waiting for the Cloudbook to become available I went ahead and prototyped a laptop skin for it. I think it will look great on the dark gray color the Cloudbook have it the photos. The laptop skin is still a work in progress and I will probably replace the EFF logo in [...]

Even though the Cloudbook is being delayed I waste no time getting up-to-speed with the development of the software for it.

I’ve started to upload all my books into Shelfari. So far I’ve added 43 of my books, but I still have many more left to add - but that have to wait until tomorrow. What I did is took each book out, one by one, and keyed in the ISBN number into a textfile. When I [...]

I am sad that I can’t get my hands on a Cloudbook just yet, but I am willing to wait for it to [...]

MPAA and RIAA has for a very long time blamed piracy for the flaws in their business model, and apparently they don’t double-check their findings. From the Yahoo! News story: Hollywood laid much of the blame for illegal movie downloading on college students. Now, it says its math was wrong. So MPAA got the math wrong, [...]

A really hacked Asus EEE PC

Michael, [Cloudbook, EEE PC, blog]
It’s amazing what kind of hardware hacks you can do with the Asus EEE PC. It does inspire me to do similar hardware upgrades with the Couldbook when I get it. I want to add Bluetooth, additional Wifi connectivity (both for N connectivity and MITM reasons) and a GPS (essential when you do wardriving). I also [...]
