My 100th entry :D

New Toys
Cecilia and myself were looking over the finances the other day, and due to her laptop giving issues, and myself not having a decent machine. At the moment iBurst is running a special where you get a netbook, USB modem and 1Gb bandwidth a month We found it would be cheaper to cancel the current Internet connection and get two of these and external hosting.

I am currently writing this post on my netbook. :)

The netbook is a Samsung N140.

  • CPU: Intel(R) Atom(TM) CPU N270 @ 1.60GHz (Dual core)
  • Memory: 1Gb
  • HDD: 160Gb
  • Wifi: BGN
  • Bluetooth 2.1
  • Screen 10.1″ 1024×600

Hosting
For the past couple of years I have been hosting this blog on my server at home, I got static IP from iBurst which helped. unfortunatly due to bandwidth usage and cost I have had to move this blog offsite (moved my mail a couple of months ago)

So this blog is now hosted by A Small Orange, and thanks goes out to Geoff Garbers for suggesting them :)

Well now back to setting up a dev enviroment on the netbook… :)

DD-WRT finally… :)
