So I, as you all know, have a first generation Asus Eee PC that I’ve hacked, broken, and rebuilt a few dozen times and which is now a nice little hackintosh machine running Tiger that only connects to the internet via my AT&T 3G USB card because it doesn’t recognize the internal WiFi card and [...]
…but which I haven’t started yet and will need to be crammed into the rest of today or left for next weekend:
1. Attempt to install OS X on my Asus Eee PC
2. Install a version of Linux on my Asus Eee PC after I get bored with the only partially functional OS X installation.
3. Buy [...]
Google Chrome runs on an Asus Eee PC running XP. Here’s a picture:
Now that I have the Tablet PC, I don’t need an XP Eee, so I’ll be reinstalling Ubuntu on the Eee and then hopefully someday this will be far enough along where I can compile Google Chrome on Ubuntu.
Also, don’t click on the [...]
Well after several months of modding my Eee PC, I’m back to the default configuration. I was trying to reinstall the touchscreen which had failed several weeks ago after a drop. It looks like the controller board for the touchscreen totally failed as I used new wires, soldered everything carefully and no luck. What’s worse, [...]
Digg this!
In my previous post about this I checked to see if the touch panel I’d ordered worked. It did, so this weekend I actually cracked open my Eee and installed it (that’s it mounted over the screen in the picture above). I’ve uploaded a full Flickr set here.
I must say, having a touchscreen on [...]
Yesterday, after several weeks of delay, I received the 7-inch touch panel I had ordered for my Asus Eee PC (*). Much thanks to jkkmobile for discovering that one could install a touch panel in the Eee and for paving the way with his video how-to. Before I get into the nitty-gritty of taking my [...]

So, today when I went to overclock the FSB on my Eee PC, as I have been doing for the past week or so, everything went crazy and when I rebooted the Eee, I was met with the picture above. I then rebooted again in recovery mode, and no matter what I tried, I could [...]
I should have done this weeks ago. Last night, I tweaked the instructions found here slightly to remove the 70Mhz cap on the front side bus on my Asus Eee PC. Why would you do this? Well, the 900Mhz processor sported by the Eee only runs at about 600Mhz with the FSB set at 70Mhz. [...]
I woke up with a sore throat this morning. It was a good Christmas though, despite the scratchy throat. I’ve missed coming out to Long Island and hanging out with Kristin’s family.
Last night, we went to Kristin’s Aunt’s house for dinner. We exchanged gifts with them last night and I received some money (which [...]
Here’s some video of my Asus Eee PC that I shot yesterday:
You can see the Eee next to my large orcish hands to give you an idea of how incredibly small it is. Also, I rather clumsily toggle through the screens to show you the cool cube effects that Ubuntu can support on the Eee. [...]
I’ve been combing over various guides and instructions online for installing Ubuntu on the Asus Eee PC (*), and I ran into a few kinks along the way since I don’t have a USB CD-ROM to install from and opted for a USB flash drive instead, so I thought I’d write the process out in [...]
Check out this picture. My Asus Eee PC (*) next to a 12-inch PowerBook. What’s really crazy is that the Eee has a faster processor. I had total flashbacks today seeing these two computers next to each other. The 12-inch was my *favorite* Mac of all time. I built a blog around blogging about that [...]
Still loving my Asus Eee PC. Check it out. It’s the perfect size to strap onto my bike rack for the daily commute:
One thing I forgot to mention about the Eee yesterday: when it’s sitting in your lap, if the screen is pushed back much farther than 90 degrees, the weight of the screen plus [...]
My Asus Eee PC arrived today. I’m using it right now to post this first impression post about the Eee. First off, despite what all the other reviews out there say, the keyboard isn’t too small. It takes a bit of getting used to, but it works nicely and I can type pretty fast on [...]
