Moblin for Netbooks

Got a Netbook?  WinXP seem to slow?  Well maybe Moblin could be the answer, Moblin is a small (fast) linux distribution for atom based netbooks..  It looks interesting, maybe I’ll see if it can be fooled into installing on my old IBM X31 (Centrino not Atom)..  I never really tried any of these linux distributions, maybe this would be more than enough for browsing the net (which is mainly what I do on my IBM X31).. Get it here Update; I tried installing on my IBM X31 but sadly the chipset was not supported 😐 bummer..

abc_ss_small_shdIf you have a bunch of Audiobooks lying around and want to use them on your Ipdo/Iphone then it’s an advantage to convert them to .M4B files (then your device will remember where you left off the last time you listened, and not as .MP3 where you have to use the slider to get to where you were)..

I found this free util that will assist you, it’s not perfect – but it works most of the time and it’s free 🙂

Connect to Facebook

I found this webcast on making your blog Facebook ‘aware’, sadly it’s not all that compatible with the way my contact form work, but I’ll look a bit further into it some time in the future;
