Whats new in the land of the Eee?

Not too much tweaking the last couple of weeks - I've mainly been focusing on using the lill guy. Typing on the small keyboard goes better and better, even if the touchpad is giving me trouble - it's right under where my thumbs hoover, so sometimes I'll touch it, send the cursor to a completly different part of the screen and not notice until a sentence later...

One thing I have done is to install KompoZer, so I can make websites on my Eee if the urge overtakes me. I've even worked out roughtly how large the 'usable' part of the screen is for a webpage (760 x 340 if anyone is interested - the rest will be taken up by menues and scrollbars). So if I can come up with something thats worth putting online, and I can work out how to use KompoZer, I can make the site on the Eee...

The intersting thing is how I installed it thought... my first brush with apt-get. Worked perfectly, and all I had to do afterwards was to use the Launcher Tools to put an icon on the Easy mode Desktop.

Yupp, got to love my powerfull lill Eee.
