Weekend Fun
Quiet weekend for me. I played some
pick-up hockey on Friday night, leveled my two
horde chars on Saturday.
On Sunday my friend Tony came by for more netbook fun:
- First we installed 1 GB DIMMs into each of the toys. 8 screws on the bottom of the netbook, 6 more under the keyboard holding the upper faceplate then two remaining that held the motherboard down. Flip the motherboard over to access the memory slot. This was a royal pain, could not have done it without this guide (and pictures!). Even still, we had to drill out one of my screws I stripped on my first break-down attempt. Running 1.5 GB RAM now, happy time!
- Second I imaged some flash drives for USB booting: One with the Aspire factory image, one with flash-persistant ubuntu and a copy of Backtrack 3 on a directory in my everyday 4GB windows flash drive.
Geeky fun times...
