[100727]
For the past couple weeks, the updates have been written fairly early, and automatically posted at 12AM, Monday. This post is probably no exception.
Pieces (for the strangest reason, I was about to type Starcrossed) has been moving along at a fairly steady pace. I don’t think I’m going to finish the entire thing in a month as I’d originally hoped, but I am on the eleventh page after just about three weeks. I’m doing like a page on the weekends, and then another page during the week. Either way, it should be done by the end of summer, and I should have enough pages to last (in posts) through like November or something.
I’d like to point out some references used… in d287/a31 the dining hall is based off of the dining hall in the Schwab residential complex at Stanford. In today’s comic, the room in which the characters are talking is based off of the 220 “flex lab” in Meyer Library. More such references on the way; any resemblance between real people and places is purely coincidental…
I finally got around to doing the “genuine, non-thin client Internet test” on the 200T, and got something like 44 minutes on 8% of battery… which is ridiculous because it’s about 9 hours, just like the thin-client test. I think at least for this machine, I need longer run times or I need to pay attention to significant figures. Either way that makes me pretty happy, though. When you’re in the 8 or 9 hour range, what difference is another hour or so?
Okay, today I’m writing about the Dell Aero.
