First post in July – with sun

This is how I see myself blogging. Sitting outside in the sun, just relaxing. Right now I’m enjoying the rain-ridden Wimbledon semi-finals. It feel a little ironic that I am sitting here in this extremely hot weather (for Norwegian standards that is) while Wimbledon on my monitor is struggling with rain.

This is a perfect example to show off how great a small PC like the Asus Eee is. Right now I’m writing this blogpost on it, while on the same time streaming Wimbledon directly from NRK on another monitor. I’ve forwarded the live feed to my 17 inch monitor on resolution 1280×1024. I had to clock the CPU from the standard 630 MHz to a more decent 900 MHz to avoid lag since both VLC (which I’m showing the feed in) and Firefox spends a lot of CPU power.

I’m actually surprised that the little thing could handle both, the world is indeed full of surprises. Even though this was a minor one.
