Battle Of Small Ones
With the nature of my job not providing me the luxury of sitting in the office, reading newspapers while having a cup of coffee on my free hours, I need one of these to at least utilize my little free time to blogging instead. There are times I come earlier to schools where I teach but the computers are so darn protected so I can’t snag a chance to blog or else. But if I have my own little e-notebook I can sit comfortably in the corner of a room sneaking time to blog. At least this is what I can think of to normalize the flow of posts on my site cos I really feel bad about not having so much time to update and bloghop. Anyway, these are the small ones I’m talking about. The mini-laptops that’s been catching my attention for quite some time now.
Acer Aspire One Blue
This Acer Aspire One is really cool and comes in colors blue, pink, white and brown. And sure it’s handy with 0.995 kg. Processor type Intel Atom N270, harddisk maximum is 120 GB Serial-ATA, memory maximum 1.5 GB, display is 8.9 inch Crystal Brite Led and with a resolution of 1024 x 600 bp. The webcam is not much appealing with 0,3 megapixel but useful. OS is Windows XP Home.
Elonex Webbook
I don’t know much about this brand but the e-book is quite tempting to make a hole in the pocket. The specs include 80 GB harddisk, 1 GB RAM, a VIA C7-M 1.6GHz processor, display is 10.2 inch, Windows XP Home as the OS, a web camera and more. It’s as light as 1.3 kg but not lighter than Acer Aspire One.
Asus Eee 901
Darn I fell for this when I saw one in Berlin, but the keyboard contains the German alphabet. It’s been taking time to release it here but it’s on the way with Windows XP Home, as the first versions come with Linux and I’m not so comfortable working with Linux though. The specs include Intel Atom as the processor, memory DDR II 2GB maximum, harddisk 12GB SSD, 8.9 inch WSVGA display, resolution is 1024 x 600 bp, Open Office, web camera 1.3 megapixel and about 1kg in weight.
Which one of the three above should I go for? The price is not that exorbitant so anyone who would want to have any of these can sacrifice an amount from his/her salary, lol! And for me who already have loads of paper to carry everyday, I need the lighter one for this matter. I don’t know if it helps me to be a blogger on the go but it’s worth the try.
Spontaneous Are We
Mama Mia! Am I this spontaneous?
Don’t say you aren’t, because as human as we are, being spontaneous is how we deal with our lives. Spontaneous are we, when we do two things at the same time. Spontaneous are our minds, when we think things beyond our plans and perform such acts that we sometimes thought conform with life. We are like actors, yet, acting spontaneously without constraint.
The highest and best form of efficiency is the spontaneous cooperation of a free people. — Woodrow Wilson
It’s In The Air
What’s in a ber-month?
I’m not talking about beer-drinking months but I’m referring to months ending in “ber”. It’s in these months that I get homesick not because of the degrading weather temperature but the spirit of Christmas is in the air this soon in the Philippines. The chilly, gust of wind seems to remind everyone that Christmas is drawing near. And what’s there to expect is the celebration of gifts and food. This is what I miss a lot. I miss it when a colleague or friend or a relative will jokingly ask for expensive gifts like HTC Phones or other techno-gadgets.
Here’s nothing but an expectation of rains in fall and gloomy winter seasons. No one’s gonna greet you “God Jul” in advance, and if you do, they would stare at you in awe. But wait till the end of November when the city lights and Christmas trees decorate the streets. That late and that short a celebration. But what can I say; this is not like the Philippines. I have no one to joke around for a HTC S740. And if there’s one person I can ask for my wish gift then it’s hubby, but I’m not sure if he will grant my wish of owning a HTC Touch Pro, hehehe!
When Christmas is in the air, so is the spirit of giving. And speaking of this, I have received an early gift while waiting for a tram on my way home a week ago. Somebody handed me two envelopes with something inside that I thought it’s just a leaflet invitation or something, but when I read what’s inside the envelope, guess what – each contains a sim card from a phone network! Isn’t that a surprise gift. Now I really need someone to ask for a HTC Sim Free Phones. I have a lucky first ‘ber’ month, eh? However, despite those free sim cards handed to me, I still miss the Philippines in ber-times like now.
