The best laid plans

Well, if the intention of getting this little eee pc is to post to this blog more often, then I guess it’s a complete waste of money. In practice it’s kinda turned into rather an evening hog. Yes it’s small and I have mange to use it while up in bed without too many disparaging [...]
