| OLPC Part 8: Starbucks Envy |
[Jan. 12th, 2008|05:13 pm] |
 I am at Starbucks. I was supposed to be cleaning, but I was talking with ![[info]](http://l-stat.livejournal.com/img/userinfo.gif) daecabhir (why did you choose an LJ name so hard to spell??)for awhile about Balticon PR, and then I started writing a comedy bit about Goth Parrots ("Polly gonna cut herself if she don't get a cracker"), but it was going nowhere fast. I got a migraine and then had to nap past it. Then I needed caffeine to clear out my head, so here I am at Starbucks.
In order to "save" my entry, I will just keep editing this entry. It's been hard to type this far. It's taken an hour. Why? Because people keep talking to me. "Oooh, is that the $100 laptop? I heard Intel quit them. I heard it was not $100! Wow, it's cool, though..." :)
I was going to upload a picture of me but Flickr is currently having database issues. I am finally using a mouse I got back when I worked at AOL. It was part of some gift pack I got when I worked Systems Operations. It's very small, and a little annoying normally, but perfect for this teeny laptop. It also has an auto-retractable cord, which is nice.
I installed SimCity and played that for a while. It works, but I couldn't get it to change speed or play sounds. Or save :(
Oh, and my time zone is WAY off. This post was made nearly half a day in the future (fixed). I have to set my time zone. |

I followed a link from some post or other in the OLPCNews forums to a post in your LJ and have been enjoying reading your thoughts about your XO. Also amused to see that you're a fan, but then that figures right, eh? I created ![[info]](http://l-stat.livejournal.com/img/community.gif) olpc_xo a little while back, not much activity yet but feel free to join, post, pass it on to other geeks who are having fun playing with their XOs (or who are waiting on them to show up).
Good to know, I signed up! Thanks :) | |
