== Bernie's brain backup for January 2008 == === Sat 5th === ==== The little computer that just won't die! ==== OneLaptopPerChild is not enough. There should definitely be [[OneAmigaPerChild/OneAmigaPerChild | OneAmigaPerChild]]! [[OneAmigaPerChild/OneAmigaPerChildSmaller.jpg]] Look [[OneAmigaPerChild/OneAmigaPerChild | here]] for additional details. A big thankyou to MicheleConsoleBattilana for providing a free copy of AmigaForever, a fine tribute to the coolest platform ever! === Thu 3rd === ==== The XaoS strikes back! ==== I enjoyed bundling this OldSkool activity for the XO: http://wiki.laptop.org/images/8/8c/XaoS-screenshot4.png See: http://wiki.laptop.org/go/XaoS It certainly needs some more sugarization work for which I have no time. === Wed 2st === ==== Haiku Laptop ==== Today we shipped our machine affected by dlo#5575 (touchpad mostly unfunctional) to Japan for further inspection by ALPS. Just before closing up the plastic case, I've left inside a little fortune cookie for them: HaikuXoSmall.jpg If you're wondering what it means, it's a piece of japanese poetry called a HaikuPoem. Google for it. === Tue 1st === ==== Trip to Walden Pond ==== This really happened on Monday 31st Dec, but who'd go read last year's blog entry now? So, Adam, Arjun and myself went to this [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Walden_Pond|Walden Pond]] place, where the famous American poet [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Henry_David_Thoreau|Thoreau]] lived in complete isolation for 2 years in a cabin made of wood. [[WaldenPond1Small.jpg|Arjun (left) and Me (guess who?)]] On this very nice lake, I stupdily tried to run on the ice and fell badly, hitting my jaw and cheek on the hard ice. Little cut, big bump... no permanent consequences. Maybe I should consider a health insurance?
