Lightweighted Linux
I am trying to reimage one of my old laptop which has Celeron 1.1Ghz and 128 RAM with a linux distro. I remeber I bought it on 2002 or 2003. 7 years old laptop! I have tried Xubuntu, it should be ok form 128 MB. But I can't get it running to GUI installer. It stopped at a black screen with a mouse cursor.
I found another lightweighted linux distro, Puppy Linux. It can get it running from a Live CD. But it can't detect my network card. Tomorrow, I will try Damn Small Linux. I hope it will work.
Google Nexus One
Google released their own branded phone, Nexus One. That is with 3.7" OLED screen and a 1GHz Qualcomm Snapdragon. So, it should be super fast, may be faster than iPhone 3GS too. The most impressive function is voice enabled keyboard. Rather than typing, you can speak what you want to type in a textbox.
But that is an interesting point Nexus is manufactured by HTC. I am thinking wheather it is a Google Version HTC phone, same as Google I/O = HTC Magic.

WordPress 2.9.1 is released
Not long ago, WordPress 2.9 was released, I am very impressed by its improvements, such as the image resizing function. Today, WordPress released 2.9.1 version. That is a minor upgarde, only for fixing some small problems and making compable to the most of hosts.

XUbuntu is quick as well.
Google Chrome OS is simple and quick. Please don't forget XUbuntu as well. Although XUbuntu is not customized for Atom, but that is light-weighted and fast. I got a VM with 512MB, that took less than 30 seconds to boot up. Moreover, that is a completed OS, not just a browser only!
No e-cards for this Christmas
Our friends started to use a paper christmas card rather than ecards. Because that is more human touches. I still spend some ecards out, but every one turned back to ask whether that is a virus. Yes, so many virus is to pretend an ecard. So, I need to start using a traditional paper based card!
