For the last week, I have had one of theeese. The Eee PC, a tiny subnotebook. 4GB solid state storage, runs Linux, has USB ports and a decent VGA output. Most of what I'd want from a take-anywhere machine other than long battery life. Impressed so far.

With little thanks to CityLink, who recently appear to think that attempting to deliver packages is a bit much to ask.

Not really had time to play with it much, of course, as I am insanely busy working on my thesis. The only other thing I've had time for (which is to say made time for) is running; last week was my first to hit the 50-mile mark. Well, I manage to eat and sleep too. Not much choice on that front.

Less than a month to go!
