		<description><![CDATA[As of a few days ago, a new brand of third party SSDs is available for the EeePC. The RunCore SSDs are now available at MyDigitalDiscount. I&#8217;ve already ordered two and can&#8217;t wait for them to arrive. I&#8217;ll post benchmarks, soon.

EeePC Hangs with Firefox
More on the EeePC hangs

		<description><![CDATA[As a commenter on my previous post on this topic has pointed out, the same problem (the system stalls when due to Ext3&#8217;s bad design an fsync causes a complete sync of the filesystem, which on MLC-based SSDs causes long write stalls which the fsync blocks for) happens with Evolution as well. And of course [...]]]></description>

The reason this hits me especially hard is a combination of [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Several people have asked me in the last few days about a comparison of the EeePC 900 and the EeePC 901. And the more I try to find an easy response, the more I realize just how complicated this has gotten.
Let&#8217;s start from the outside. The 900 and 901 models are very similar, they have [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I mentioned before in my article comparing the EeePC 901 with the 1000 that the keyboards of some Netbooks leave room for improvement. Today at IDF in Taipei I spent some time looking at the current crop of Netbooks and I realized that this is an endemic issue. Yes, there isn&#8217;t much space and therefore [...]]]></description>

And one of my biggest disappointments since picking a Nikon D300 was the lack of fast (or large aperture) lenses [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The touchpads of the newer EeePCs (certainly the 900/900A/901/1000/1000H) all support some form of multitouch - not all the gestures we&#8217;ve seen on other pads, but the most important ones like scroll. The maker of the touchpad (Elantech) has posted newer Windows drivers for the touchpad a couple of months ago which according to several [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Here&#8217;s an interesting little fact that I just ran across. It seems that the two flash drives (or SSDs) in my EeePC 1000 don&#8217;t have the same performance characteristics. I was trying to track down some surprising performance (and boot time) discrepancies on my EeePC 1000 and ran bonnie++ on different partitions in my system. [...]]]></description>

The first move was from my server at home to a VPS hosted with Datarealm. The rationale was that I finally wanted the webserver [...]]]></description>
