Trading up from the Eee PC
Before too long, I am going to be saying goodbye to my precious Eee PC 701 netbook. I can still remember how excited I was when the delivery guy brought it into my office and I opened it for the first time–it was so SMALL! It has served me well for a little over a year, but it is time for me to upgrade to something that fits my needs a little bit better. Honestly, if I had known how …

My Daily Tech: Jessica
One of my favorite tech memes is “What’s In Your (Gear) Bag?”, where geeks empty their messenger bags, backpacks, and purses to show off the things they carry with them on a daily basis. I also really enjoy reading about the gear that fellow techies use to enrich their lives–their main computer, their travel items, their phone, their mp3 player, etc. I’ve shared my own stuff in various formats before (I am an avid member of the “What’s In Your …

Windows XP and the eeePC – Fab or Flop?
I love Linux. It’s so customizable, and I love the fact that it’s open-source. But let’s face it–the business community has yet to embrace Linux with open arms. Many of the things I do for work, whether it’s editing or creating a templatized document, or doing a quality check on a web-based training course, require Windows (or at the very least, Microsoft products such as Office). It is frustrating, considering the only place I run Windows is at the office. …

My Calendar Solutions: Ubuntu and the eeePC
One of my daily tech drivers is my 4G Asus eeePC 701. I use it for quite a bit of my web surfing, chatting, email checking, web research and writing. It’s perfect to curl up with in my favorite living room chair or carry along with me to a coffee shop. I also carry with with me when I go to business meetings, because it is so much easier to tote along than a huge laptop. Plus, the sassy pink …

Compiz Fusion on the eeePC
Ever since installing Ubuntu on my 4G eeePC 701, I’ve been incredibly impressed by the operating system. It’s my first time running a Linux system full-time, and I find more to love about it every day. One of the most impressive things in Ubuntu is Compiz Fusion, which adds some incredible graphic effects to the user environment, including a rotating cube and other window/desktop switchers on crack. Sadly, I’ve been unable to run it on the eeePC because turning on …

Introduction: searching for the perfect digital calendar solution
I always aspire to lead an organized life. Whether I actually am or not at any given point in time is really another story. (I am lucky enough to have a photographic memory and be able to put my hands on things that I need in my office or my apartment pretty easily!) I can be pretty anal retentive about digital things like the way my Google Reader feeds are organized in their folders, the things on my Firefox toolbar, …
