- Trying to help coworker Arti reinstall Mac OS X on her MBP. But it’s caught in a grey screen kernel panic loop, and won’t spit out the DVD. #
- Holding the eject key during boot doesn’t work. Found a page that says "let it sit for 10-15 minutes, and the DVD will eject". Trying that. #
- @clunkclunk We tried the "hold down the trackpad button during boot", and that didn’t work, sadly… #
- @ahockley Har har. Holding the eject button was the first thing we tried.
#
- Hey, cool! Nikon USA launched a blog! http://blog.nikonusa.com/ #
- @ahockley Yes, there is an eject button on most Mac keyboards.
#
- When you’re a corporate blog, you’re either real, human, and authentic, or you’re a PR-controlled mouthpiece. You CAN’T have it both ways!!! #
- You know what’s wrong with Intel? Fear. Plain and simple. We’re too afraid to take real risks, and do something remarkable. #
- Sorry about my tweets venting about Intel, fear, etc. earlier. I feel much better now!
#
- I haven’t had a good Intel rant in a long time. Consider my previous tweets filling that quota.
#
- Valerie Cunningham just friended me on Facebook, with a note to the effect of "looking forward to reading your book, let’s meet at SXSW!" #
- I didn’t know I was writing a book. Apparently Valerie knows something I do not.
#
- Arti finally got the DVD ejected from her MBP by just mashing a bunch of keys + trackpad button on startup. Nothing else worked.
#
- @RichSPK Nope, no paperclip emergency eject hole. Gotta use a knife or your fingers or something if it gets REALLY stuck.
#
- @missburrows Actually, I’ve been toying with the idea of writing a book. But I need to find a subject that hasn’t been done a million times. #
- Whoa. Did you know Microsoft has a Bluetooth Mouse for Mac coming? http://tinyurl.com/yufckp And, uh, is it me or does it look like… :-O #
- Someone’s GOT to write up a blog post about that new Microsoft Mac mouse. But it’s not going to be me!
#

#
- @cantleyj I believe so. I’m still not 100% I’ll make it to Lunch 2.0 tomorrow, but I’m going to try!
#
- Looks like I AM going to make it to Lunch 2.0 today. @harrisja, I’ll pick you up, OK?
#
- Headed downtown to pick up @verso and @harrisja for Lunch 2.0. #
- at Lunch 2.0. AboutUs’s offices are VERY cool. The EeePC is a hit, but we can’t get it on MetroFi, so it can’t really shine. #
- At Cedar Hills Crossing, working for a while. Stopped by Best Buy to grab a Gorilla Pod for the Aiptek video camera. It’s great. #
- Also, they had a Nikon D300 with the 18-200mm VR lens (lust!), so I got to play hands on for the first time. What an amazing camera! #

#
- Anyone had hands-on time with the Everex Cloudbook? All the reviews I’ve read of it say it basically sucks. Can you contradict that? #

- Hmm. Tried to do a live video stream from the Eee PC using Ustream.tv, but it crashes Firefox. Going to try Mogulus, Yahoo Live, etc. #
- Live.yahoo.com (or rather, Flash Player) couldn’t see the webcam on the Eee PC, but I could broadcast audio. Going to try Mogulus. #
- @NickStarr Can any old person (like me) broadcast video on justin.tv? #
- Just gave an impromptu presentation about Twitter in ISN strategy meeting. Pimped pulseofpdx.com and puiseofopensource.com #
- @verso i want a Twitter Pimp (Twimp) hat!

- So, Ubuntu Mobile is "out". Looks like it would be PERFECT on an Eee PC. Someone get cracking on that, wouldja? http://tinyurl.com/2yo5ep #
- @segphault Yeah, except that I don’t think the Mobiln.org image creator will target anything other than McCaslin. Is there an EeePC profile? #
- @segphault yeah, there’s got to be a way to prune it down. The web page says devices with "2 or 4GB SSD"… #
- @segphault "2GB to 8GB Flash or disk storage, 256MB+ memory/512MB+ recommended". Sounds just like the Eee PC.
#
- @dsifry Wha? iPhone update 1.1.4 is out? Lemme at it!
#
- @segphault Veeery interesting. I may mess around with making a live USB image for Ubuntu Mobile. I should be able to trim it down… #
- @segphault You bet.
#
- @segphault I need my Ubuntu machine to use Image Builder, which is at home right now, so I doubt I’ll get to it today.
#
- Downloading iPhone 1.1.4, but holding off a bit to install. I’m chicken, and I want to see what’s new!
#
- @mattg Exchange support in 1.1.4? THAT would be AWESOME! That’s it. I’m upgrading. Will report back… #
- The TUAW comments on Exchange Support in 1.1.4 are ambiguous. There has ALWAYS been Exchange IMAP support, but no one can say what’s new… #
- The 1.1.4 download is taking forever. Intel’s proxy SUCKS. I’ll report on the REAL deal on iPhone Exchange support as soon as I can get it. #
- @ravenzachary That’s what I suspected (on lack of Exchange ActiveSync support) #
- I have almost zero ability to resist peer pressure. So I’m now on FriendFeed: http://friendfeed.com/jabancroft Feel free to add me.
#
- Honestly, you’ll get the same thing from FriendFeed as will from my lifestream, http://www.joshbancroft.com, and my linkblog.joshbancroft.com. #
- @rodfather Yeah, I can see FriendFeed being a viable lifestream app. Need to see how their feeds look. And I wish they’d support blip.tv #
- @ravenzachary I’m sure you could modify that "plant that Twitters" rig to do body temp/bowel movement monitoring pretty easily.
#
- Is there an SSH client for Mac OS X that will let me specify a SOCKS proxy for outgoing connections, like PuTTY does on Windows? #
- BTW, I did let FriendFeed plunder my Facebook and Gmail address book to add friends, but I did NOT let it spam out invitations to people… #
- @StoneTable not really. say I’m behind a SOCKS proxy, and the only way to SSH to the internet is through that proxy. #
- @StoneTable how do I tell command line SSH to go through that proxy to an internet host? #
- @ahockley I’m planning on making the photowalk. My D40 comes back to me today! Yay!
#
- @rodfather no live video stream from the EeePC yet, but I still need to try justin.tv, blogtv.com, and others. #
- @harrisja no that’s the 0nly difference. there are also models with and without ("Surf") webcams #
- Results of Asus Eee PC live video stream test on justin.tv: No camera detected. I’m sensing a theme here. Flash can’t see the cam in Linux. #
- Eee PC live video test results on blogtv.com: The "broadcast now" button doesn’t work, doesn’t click. Worst so far. #
- What live video services am I missing? I’ve tried ustream, justin.tv, mogulus, Yahoo Live, and blogtv.com. What else should I try? #
- @segphault Oh! That’s interesting. Let me try again after doing that. Can also just startup the webcam app? #
- @segphault tried both the webcam app and echo’ing 1 to the cam. Yahoo Live now says "cam in use by another app", not "no cam". Progress! #
- @rodfather Yeah, that’s about what I’d guess. Flash for Linux doesn’t support the webcam in the EeePC (yet!) #
- @aritenou You can WATCH streams all day long on the EeePC - video plays just fine, as does audio. But you can’t broadcast video. #
- @aritenou Yeah, Adobe could update Flash to work with the webcam driver on the EeePC. It’s just a question of if and when.

- The WAF of the Eee PC is very high. While I was taking a nap, Rachel grabbed it all on her own, to look up a recipe in the kitchen. Love it! #

The folks in Intel web marketing have launched a new blog, all about Mobility:
http://blogs.intel.com/mobility/
It’s going to be all about upcoming cool stuff that’s being released later this year - Silverthorne (which is getting its own super-secret new brand name, launching next week!), Diamondville, WiMAX, and other cool mobile stuff.
I’m helping them out, giving them a “blogger’s-eye perspective”, and generally trying to help them do it “right” - make the blog interesting and useful, as opposed to just rehashing marketing copy. They asked me to write up the first post for the site (which, you’ll notice, has actually been built on top of an older blog about CES), which I was happy to do. It’s called “Living The Mobile Lifestyle“. It ended up being a little longer than I had planned, but I’ve been a mobile technology geek for a long time - over a decade - and it turned out that I had a lot to say. 
Anyway, check it out, subscribe to the feed if you’re interested, and stay tuned for interesting news and hands-on experiences with cool mobile toys (like MIDs, WiMAX, etc.). I’ll be doing most of the writing here on TinyScreenfuls.com, but I’ll be crossposting any interesting bits there on the new Mobility blog, and on the Intel Software Network blog, too, so feel free to jump in with any comments or questions, here or there. Enjoy! 
- I’m already thinking about what the perfect small carry bag would be for the Eee PC. Comes with a neoprene sleeve, I want a strap. Ideas? #
- @ahockley Exactly. I’m not ashamed to carry a manpurse, if it’s got cool toys inside.
#
- @turoczy @ahockley. C’mon. Be honest. It’s not a "European carry-all". It’s a man purse. A murse. It’s OK. As long as it’s not a manny pack! #
- @Skawtnyc Yeah, it’s going to have to be a non-traditional bag. I use one made for a DVD player for my UMPC, but even that’s too big. #
- @Skawtnyc That looks about right. I always keep my eye out for bags I can re-purpose for gadget duty. I have a thing for the perfect bag.
#
- @Skawtnyc thanks, but I need to wait until I have an Eee PC of my own. At this rate, it won’t be long.
#
- Just had a skype call with @harrisja on the eee pc. sounded great, worked very well. will test video later (system update added Skype 2) #
- Date night, at Powells. The Timbuk2 small classic messenger bag would be perfect for the Eee PC, but it’s a hundred bucks. Ouch. #
- @segphault that’s a nice bag. I discovered that a Timbuk2 "Metro" would be even better. Smaller and cheaper ( MSRP $55) #
- Better than the Timbuk2 "Classic", that is. #
- Helping a friend move. Sadly, can’t think of a way to use the Eee PC for this.
#
- @billpearson I’ve done Ubuntu in Parallels. Download an install image, make a new VM, tell Parallels to boot from that image. Easy after. #

- Sprint is making a big noise about how their WiMAX network is going to be "open" with "an SDK and APIs". C’mon. Is it the internet or not?! #
- Wahoo! I just got approved to be on one of Intel’s WiMAX trials. AND I’m supposed to blog about it. I should get equipment on Monday. Wheee! #
- Heh. To everyone asking to be on the WIMAX pilot too, I’m sorry. I had to fight to get them to let me in. But it’s coming for everyone soon! #
- And the whole point was to get a blogger (me) real world experience with it, so I can write about how it REALLY is. Vapor no more!
#

I’ll ask about opportunities for others to join. #

#
- @ahockley I’ll be using the heck out of it, and writing all about it. @croncast it’s not really a great MIL machine. Too small, I think… #
- I think the EEE PC would make a great 2nd or 3rd machine. I think it’ll be great away from a desk. But I’m at my desk right now, so…
#
- So, what’s the best Linux/EEE PC Twitter app? #
- @rodfather Apparently, it’s a black 4G. The one with the webcam. #
- When I got back to my desk with the eee pc, a swarm of coworkers appeared, and we all geeked out. Hooked it up to an LCD, tried video, etc. #
- Within minutes, we were all pretty much agreeing that we’d buy one, and even started shopping for prices online.
#
- First tweet from the Asus eee pc! Still looking for a nice Twitter app for it. I wonder if it runs AIR… #
- @ahockley Alas, I have a prior committment tonight, or I would be there.
#
- OK, dumb eeepc question #1 - how do I get to a terminal? #
- @segphault Thanks. I’m reading your review already, as we, um, speak.
