Hmmm looking at the benchmarks, it looks like I won't be spending any money on sdhc cards until the speed difference between them and the sandisk extreme iii 2gb sd cards widen by a much larger margin...

For All You Parallel Importers...

Since alot of people I know have resorted to getting their eeepc's from parallel importers, I thought it would be handy to list the following links which:

  1. Teach you how to setup your Chinese language eeepc from scratch (first boot setup); and
  2. Teach you how to change the default language to English

Hope you guys found that useful...

Hmmm...

Hmmmm if I don't have an external dvd rom and the boot disk that the asus recovery utility makes doesn't work, I wonder if I can just copy all the dvd content onto a sd card and run it from there... Hmmm...

Making The Most Of Things...

As display space is a premium on the eeepc (7" screen at 800 x 480), there are several tweaks (not hacks because linux is like your wife's hot sister i.e. looking is fine but if you touch anything you're fucked) that I recommend... As I didn't have much time to setup my unit today, I concentrated only on firefox...

First off, there is fullerscreen... Basically the addon invokes the full screen and hides the navigation bar automatically when viewing webpages... This gives you an extra half inch high viewing area (which is plenty on the eeepc)... Its a nice touch that the navigation bar reappears when you move to the top of the age you're viewing...

For maximum space savings when using fullerscreen, it is suggested that it is used in conjunction with littlefox when you need to use the navigation bar (as the icons are only half the size and the menus have been reworked to save as much space as possible)...

Twitter addicts might also want to abandon their sidebar addons and opt for firefox twitterbar instead as it allows you to update your twitter via the navigation bar (thus saving the space required by a sidebar addon)...

Those on blogger/blogspot might also want to install greasemonkey and the magical sheep userscript to integrate a multiple technorati tag generator into their blogger interface... This saves space as by removing the need for a messy sidebar addon...

It would be best if the firefox default fonts were decreased by 2 sizes to allow for even more of a webpage to be dsplayed... I'll update once I setup the rest...

The Song Of Silence...

I haven't been using the eeepc much so, its set up is still far from optimal... I have however just figured out how to enable sound alerts in Pidgin... I know you guys must be wondering, "Don't you just go to the tools>preferences>sound menu and click on the enable sounds checkbox???"... Well you guys forget that in linux, the experience is somewhat different... Because in linux the above is not sufficient to enable the sound alerts, what you have to do is set the "sound method" to "Command" and key in the text "aplay %s" in the command box... I'll never take vista for granted again...
