The One With The Eee PC Size Comparison

My old Compaq Armada saddles my Eee PC and a Gameboy Advance. The one in the middle is obviously my favorite.
And as my Eee PC House wallpaper says…  Aaaahhh!!!

The One With The Google Game

I just played one of the oldest Google games around and it really sparked my so far boring day.
I typed “Manoel is” in the Google search bar and made a search. The results I got were very interesting although of course, they didn’t make sense for me because the Manoels mentioned in the list are [...]

The One With The Open Window

When I see an open window I want to…

…jump and fly away like Superman
…look out and observe life as it happens
…imagine a beautiful girl pass by and glance at me
…listen to the sweet noise of kids playing patintero, tumbang preso or taguan—something I haven’t seen in a decade
…stare at the sky and imagine what it’s [...]

The One With The Airport Tuna Sandwich

I often wondered why airport food is exorbitantly priced. The first time I flew, that was when I went to Cebu, I didn’t eat breakfast then so I was very hungry when I entered the passengers’ lounge. I wanted a quick bite so I went to this stall and was surprised when the lady manning [...]

The One With The Wasted Food

My officemate, Acey, wastes at least two spoonfuls of rice every lunch. I think it’s such a big waste of food. I’ve pointed this out to her but she says she can’t eat a couple of bites more of the rice. I wish she would just offer a part of it to us before she [...]

The One With Indiana Jones

A white piece of paper was stapled to the bulletin board this morning. Our company is inviting us, employees, to watch the new Indiana Jones movie. For free. It’s their treat.
I would love to go. I haven’t seen a film since… see, I can’t remember the last one. I’m sure it would still be fun [...]

The One With The Eee PC Webcam

 
I know I’ve been talking nothing but Eee PC lately. I just can’t help it. This little bugger is the best thing I ever bought with my hard-earned cash.
 
Anyway, going back to the premise of this entry’s title, the Eee PC 4g’s webcam is a 0.3 megapixel baby. It’s not high-end but decent enough to [...]

The One With The Eee PC Advanced Desktop Mode

 
My adrenaline was on a natural high the day I was finally able to change my Eee PC’s desktop interface from this cute:

 
To this not so cute but more adult-appealing look (you can still say it’s cute if you find Greg House adorable):

 
I did this after reading a thread at the Eeeph forum. One important [...]

The One With The Eee PC Softwares

People say the Eee PC is not a laptop or desktop replacement. That it should only be considered as a second option when you’re outside where a desktop is impossible to use or a laptop would just be too heavy and big to carry around. I completely disagree with all this.

The Eee PC can be [...]

The One With Goodbye Armada, Hello Eee PC

My secondhand Compaq Armada didn’t work out as I expected. Sometimes it will open, sometimes it won’t. But when it does, I just use it to watch some videos. Although I haven’t touched it for almost a week now simply because I now have this:

It’s the Asus Eee PC 4G 701.

I would [...]
