Community Matters

Instead of enduring the cold, rain and even snow in Portland, I am in Australia at Linux.Conf.Au. 24 hours of travel suck. Days filled with great talks and a chance to connect with lots of friends and many new people, all working in open source. Worth it.

I brought both the Mac and the eeePC. Surprisingly, the eeePC seemed a lot better at hanging on to the wireless connection - it keeps dropping on the Mac at times. I need to Mac to be able to access work email and connect to the VPN, but for everything else, so far, the eeePC was actually the better solution. Smaller, easier to carry around, no problem to just put it down (it’s solid state, after all).

It’s not great for kernel builds, though. Or for editing source files. Darn.

Thanks for visiting!
