So, a high-capacity battery for my 701 EEE came in the mail. The EEE wouldn't charge it either, so I switched to the used motherboard I bought on eBay.

Unfortunately, the SD reader is busted on that motherboard. Still, success: It charges batteries and runs off them just fine. I booted an SD Ubuntu EEE install disk using my Palm phone as a card reader (slow). I filed my nails while this loaded, and had to re-enable the card reader software early on to get the install to keep going. Wow, shorter nails help a lot with typing on this thing.

One of my mods will likely be to put in a working SD reader.

I love you and your techy greekiness! Let me know when and if you are still gonna stop by on the 26 on your way down from Tahoe, especially if you a tired you are welcome to crash here. Will your kitties need to be checked on?

Aww, I love you too.

This EEE thing is neat. It's amazing how much you can put into a little 2 pound box now, and how much you can add onto it. Though it's another pound or two with the extended battery...

Yes, I am planning to stop by, likely hang out a lot of the day, on Boxing Day.

The kitties have enough food for about 4 days, and enough water for a month. You're welcome to check on / visit them though, if you feel like it.

Oh! BTW, want to take me to the Oakland airport on Jan 1? I got my Anime LA schedule, and I have to be on a panel at 4pm on Friday, lol. Flying would be easiest.

Oh wow, that Friday is the 2nd. I could totally drive that. I'll check flights though too. Looks like SFO to LAX is about half of OAK to LAX for that weekend.

"Enough water for a month"

... Does that mean that they have a big white porcelin water bowl in the bathroom? :)

Actually I was thinking of the 2 litre or so jug/dish thing in the bathroom, plus the full rice bowl of water in the kitchen. I suppose since the seat is up, their water supply could last even longer.

bunny suit?
so I have to know, is the pic of you at your new job? Do you have to go into a "clean" room?

Re: bunny suit?
Nope, it's a pic of me from two jobs ago at MMC (a division of Maxtor (now bought out by Seagate)). They made hard drive media. I went into the clean room most nights, sometimes several times a night. I did try to fix things remotely from my desk when I could. :)
