Tech Soup

AUGUST 24, 2012

It’s been awhile since I posted on the TechSoup for Libraries blog on whether digital books and the devices that people use to read them like Kindles, Nooks, and tablet computers are greener than printed books. Be that as it may, e-reader devices and e-books are here to stay. In my " Are E-Readers Greener Than Books

Week 1 I should have taken pictures – unboxing a new laptop is a lot of fun. My first step was to make sure the laptop booted. Next up, let’s see how the details of migration (web, mail, address book, etc. But here’s Ubuntu week 1, not edited or smoothed out. I’ll understand points of pain, for sure.

But what I realized was that the whole WPA thing with my laptop added to the pile of “little problems I haven’t solved yet.&# I knew that I should do it at some point, but I hadn’t encountered a WPA network until last week, so I hadn’t bothered. Needless to say, I’m doing that right now. Directories were shared.

August 9, 2007 It’s been 7 weeks of using Ubuntu 7.04 (better known as Feisty Fawn) as my primary desktop. The only time I shut down this laptop is when I’m taking it somewhere, which is relatively rarely. I figured it was time to give my final assessment. I love apt-get/aptitude.

I had her laptop open, and I saw a "Ford_F350" network come, and go. Anyway, as the bus rolls by, I see "PVTA_0333" come up on the MacStumbler, then leave! Yeah, really, really! It reminds me of the time a friend of mine and I were driving to Rhode Island on the highway. Maybe faster than we think. {

At some point, when I’ve saved up enough pennies, I’m going to buy a Mac laptop again. I think it can also work for the folks who perhaps use laptops as their primary machines, and don’t do anything except email and web. And, guess what? I’m giving up. And, of course, always, for developers.

Both of them seem to be PHP’s answer to Ruby on Rails. The approaches are similar and different to each other.
