+==== The little computer that just won't die! ====
+
+OneLaptopPerChild is not enough. There should definitely be

+
+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!

+See: http://wiki.laptop.org/go/XaoS
+
+It certainly needs some more sugarization work for which I have no time.

+
+==== 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:

+
+If you're wondering what it means, it's a piece of japanese poetry called a HaikuPoem.
+Google for it.

+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.

+
+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?
