Notebook

Purchased a new notebook this week. It was a nice and simple male type shopping trip...
"Watcha got that's really powerful?"
"This one right here..."

Specs:
ASUS F3JR
Intel Core 2 Duo T7200 (2.0 Ghz)
2 Gb DDR2 Ram
Mobile Intel 945PM Express Chipset
120Gb SATA HDD
DVD±Rewriter Double Layer
ATI X2300 (384Mb + 512Mb dynamic memory)
15.4" WXGA Colourshine (1280x800)
DVI, VGA, S-Video Output
1.3 Megapixel Webcam
Wireless A/B/G
Bluetooth V2.0 +EDR
7-in-1 card reader
Microsoft Windows Vista Home Premium
Microsoft Office 2007

If your confused by all that, it's basically sitting in a place that isn't top-of-the-charts, but is incredibly powerful for a student notebook... 90% of the performance at 50% of the price...

The only thing I wished this had but it doesn't is a fingerprint reader... But I only want that for humour value... Toshiba notebooks have them as standard now, but this ASUS really caught my attention because it was just what I wanted.

I don't plan on using this to replace my current PC for those of you that might have hoped they might get it. I plan on re-formatting this older thing because it's getting very... er... sick at the moment and this new notebook will be a storage space while a do the job... (Granted, I could have stored my minute quantities of data on my brother's computer... but that thing is a bitch!). Also, I'm thinking of dual-booting this thing with Linux... Which will be a new experience for me (I have always run my copy of Ubuntu from a Live CD...).

Hope you're all having fun on your holidays so far!

Lazy, Busy or a combination of the two

The title really explains it for you why there hasn't been anything here recently. I've been into the city, driving and I went go-carting today... just to name a few...

I promise something interesting before I go back to school on the 29th (only put the date in cos some people keep asking me, now its here for you to remember). Perhaps it'll be a screenshot of BackTrack 2 Beta, which I've been thoroughly enjoying in my spare time or something as dull as the description of my latest belly button lint (Hey, could be worse, could've come from somewhere a little further South) or perhaps, it will be something that I actually said I'd do - UltraVNC (I have an opening sentence typed, I promise).

In the meantime here's something that might amuse some, or not...

Oh, and by the way, I updated my links to other people. Not much annoys me more than contact info that changes - an email address, mobile phone number or website should remain the same. Admittedly, sometimes it ain't possible; but me having to deal with 2 new websites, 3 changed mobile phone numbers and 3 different email in two weeks is a bit ridiculous.
