I have always wanted to post more stuffs, but i think due to time and things around us since end of last year, we ended up catching up undone stuffs or just too lazy to do something on our blogs... But i think we are slowly done with some of the backlogs, and taking more time to rest and regain control of things we want and like to do.

if you have got yourself a N800 or N810, and wish to use it for productivity purposes, the latest tutorial from Tablet School might interest you. It is already known that USB host mode is supported via a software update, but if you are lazy or afraid to try it out, the tutorial will give you a video how-to to get it working!

so time to get yourself a USB keyboard or USB to PS/2 adaptor for your favourite keyboard and boast it with your IT :)

Dear Internet,

i just wonder, if your notebook can adapt its settings according to the environment you are current in, what are things you wish to see or have? At this point we can at least get the best connection (via NetworkManager) and perhaps best display (via xrandr/xorg), but most of the time we still need to configure a little here and there. Is it necessary to have an "intelligent system" that knows what it should serve you according to your current situation? Or the system should always be passive?

missing from action i am. Busy i am, but lazy i hope i am not. :)

even though this might be a little late (at home it is already afternoon :) ), but after reading the post from Susan, i think i wish to also take this chance to tell all the visitors something about Easter...

this weekend we are visiting our friend in frankfurt. we have decided to travel light - in other words, no heavy stuffs, no non-sense and no notebook. but i would not want to be totally disconnected, so naturally i need my gadgets around. therefore the n800 has been called into duty again.

this time i do it slightly different. i tried the thumb keyboard since i find typing using the stylus rather slow. so far it does the job pretty fine, surprisingly! it is not 100% like using the normal keyboard but it is also not as bad as i thought. perhaps it is just a matter of getting used to.

the phenomenon of Apple is everywhere. you see many products trying to use the alphabet "i" and many people will use "i" for things they say. But i think the most extreme case for myself is the following, what i saw on my way to work :)

since lack of updates, perhaps it is time to announce what kept us busy :)

trying to switch between display modes under linux had never been easy. At least with xrandr 1.2 things are much better than before - i can finally change display mode without restarting Xorg. But the "standard" FN-F7 was never a working trigger i can use. Being lazy, i never go looking for solution... until today.
