WPA Update

As I mentioned last night, I was surfing with my EeePC, by downgrading my wireless encryption to WEP.

Well its been a good couple of days for gadgets. I’m now the proud owner of both an EeePC and an iPod Touch.

I was catching up with the ZDNet blogs I read, when I noticed this post in the Hardware 2.0 blog.
Of course, a religious war quickly erupted in the comments section. MS vs Linux. Thank God no Macs were involved.
However, despite the allegations of bias, I do think he has a point. It [...]

I’m a self-confessed gadget-lover, and every day at the moment I find my list of “stuff to buy when I have money” is growing.
Aside from the ever-present desire to get a nice TFT monitor to replace my aging (but going strong) 17″ CRT Samsung, I’ve got my resolute vow that this year I’m getting an [...]
