Dear Van Gogh mug by Mike Mak
You put your name into Google, and the first entry is about a transgression from 20 years ago, the penalty for which only lasted three years. Now you can’t get a job.
I happened to call her. Found the place she wanted to go on google map but she could not tell me where exactly she was. Is there an online map service in Chinese?
Got my unit today. This is my 2nd netbook. The first one is a MSI WIND. I tried to put kubuntu 9.04 on USB drive. The drive booted my desktop and the Wind. The USB drive was detected in the Bios, but no matter what I do, it won’t boot the Eee PC. Finally I gave up and tried Wubi from WinXP. That did not work either because the new Wubi won’t run. Not sure why. In the end, I had to burn a CD and install it the old fashion way via a IDE CD-ROM connected through a USB interface (from a USB external hard drive).
The 160G hard drive has four partitions on it. The first one is WinXP, I put kubuntu on the 2nd partition, which may have some backup files for WinXP but I don’t really care about that.
The first surprise is that there was no network, wired or wireless. After finding out the hardware, AR9285 for wireless and AR8132 for ethernet, I found this post and installed the AR813X driver. The other driver did not work.http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1141529
For wireless, I used aptitude and installed the driver. (apt-get complained about dependencies)
sudo aptitude install linux-backports-modules-jaunty
So far, so good. The fan does come on after a while. The noise is audible but not very annoying.
Sound worked out of the box. Have not tested the web-cam or blue tooth yet.
Short: I still like JabRef better.
Slightly longer: JabRef allows using PMID, which is unique and short to rename files. I use PMID as the plug for refs when I write. So I can work without any ref manager using text editing apps like vim. Mendeley is faster. It has an integrated web account, which is convenient. Not sure how useful the social network aspect of it will be.
