CEO Hates the Eee PC - VP of Net Ops Loves It!

So you know I recently purchased an Eee PC for our CEO. Well, turns out he hated it. At first he suggested that we let one of our Account Management people use it for a while, however; the CIO suggested that we let the Eee PC implementation/revolution die within our organization. So I suggested that I purchase it from the company, since we already had it, to which the CIO said, "Why don't you just keep it for an 'extended beta-testing' program?" Sweet! This was sort of his way of giving me the computer without actually giving it to me.

So I'll be doing a more formal write-up in the next few days. I'm generally using it for moderate web-surfing and watching YouTube right now. Haven't really put it through the ringer yet, however; I'm considering making it my "garage PC". It's small, it's solid-state, and it doesn't really get hot. So it would be perfect for garage work bench, well, when my son's not watching Bionicle videos in the Living room.

What would be really cool is to fill up a 2-4 GB SD card with music from my Zune Pass account, and I could use it as juke box for those garage projects. Hmmm.... :-?

We Lost The Baby

Although I don't generally share personal issues on this site, since that's not it's purpose, I do feel that it's appropriate to inform everyone that my wife and I lost the baby I recently annouced. Yes, I know it's off-topic and yes, I know it's a downer, but I announced the good news when we found out, I thought it only appropriate to announce the bad as well.

That said, I will get back to posting some additional geek-blog articles soon, so stay tuned.
