Little lies.

I am writing this on the Dell Mini 9 I just bought from secretlondon. Ubuntu 10.04 installed from the USB stick I keep with me for guerilla Ubuntu installs. I am SO ENORMOUSLY HAPPY. I've wanted one of these since they came out, and didn't stop when they were discontinued. It's SO TINY and so JUST THE RIGHT FORM FACTOR. I'm in nerdgasm delight.

(Most annoying thing about a new computer: re-entering all my site passwords in Firefox.)

This is the base model, with 1GB RAM and 8GB flash disk. 2G RAM is £30ish, SSD is stupidly expensive so I'll probably just whack in an SD card. Also has 3G, should I care to avail myself of such. Also, katieastrophe, I'll need another ORG sticker.

patchworkkid is in town, so valkyriekaren, cavalorn and I will be celebrating his presence down the Dev tomorrow evening. Wednesday is Freda's third birthday and Thursday is a date with nyecamden.

Update: Bling shopping list: 2GB memory ~£30, 8-cell non-Dell battery ~£30-40, 32GB SD card ~£50. I'll wait till what it is gets painful enough that I bother, that's how to save money on tech.

For passwords and bookmarks, there's a few solutions. On my personal desktop/laptops, I use Xmarks. At work, I installed Mozilla Weave to help backup/copy them all when I knew I would have to rebuild my desktop last week.

I've already sung the praises of Xmarks to him multiple times; he's suffering the characteristic inertia caused my a lack of correctly-shaped tuits.
