Choosing an Ultra Portable Notebook part 1

Back in the day, I had a Dell Inspiron 700m 12″ portable notebook. I really liked that notebook. It was eventually sold it because I didn’t like how bad it was at playing games.

Recently, there’s a market for what they’re calling “Ultra portable” notebooks, e.g. the Asus Eee Pc, Acer Aspire One, and the MSI Wind.

These are designed to run Linux, or Windows XP and provide a small and light, portable unit. My wife recently started the program to get her Masters in Teaching, and she asked I get her a cheap, portable notebook to take with her to school. What a perfect opportunity. I’ll be looking at reviews to purchase one soon.

Switch to Wordpress SVN && Remove FAlbum

I wasn’t seeing enough benefit to FAlbum, so I removed it. Too slow and confusing for my tastes.

Also, I got sick of the monthly updates to Wordpress, so I finally switched over to using the subversion method. Now an upgrade is as simple as an svn update and click the Upgrade button.

Purchased a 70-300m telephoto lens

When I went to Cleveland, I borrowed a buddy’s 70-300m telephoto lens for my Canon DSLR camera. I liked it a lot, so I wanted one. I just bought the Sigma 70-300mm f/4-5.6 DG Macro Telephoto Zoom Lens for Canon SLR Cameras, the price was right :) .

Happy 4th!

I recently picked up a tripod, so I was able to take some nice 3 or more second shots for the 4th of July.
