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.

No really, I am alive

As the title suggested, I actually am alive. The past month have been a real nightmare for me, with piles of work and studying to do. I’m really tired now after several weeks fueled by coffee.

Newsflash: I’ve bought a new computer! I fell for the cute ultra-portable Asus Eee. It has a seven inch screen and a super-small keyboard. I imported it from Taiwan, so it have both Chinese and English letters which makes it extra cool to look at. It’s a little hard to write on when I don’t have the visual representation of Norwegian letters and symbols (æ, ø, and å), but I’ll get used to it.

Counting this PC, I’ve got three different computers that I work on simultaneously. That’s what I call multi-tasking.
