Another EEE update

[dvandom]

Typing this at the comic shop on their network. Took a couple tries to get connected, not sure if it's me or them, though. I put the 128 bit key onto a sticky, though (the software kind), cut and paste is pretty much mandatory for that sort of thing. :)

I've found two small problems today that I hadn't noticed before. One, when my index fingertip is too dry, the touchpad has trouble recognizing it. Of course, I have that thumb trackball, so not a huge problem. Two, ctrl-space seems to be bound to a system thing, which makes erasing big blocks of text in emacs harder. Will have to look into rebinding that.

Edit: EEEUser Forum helped me with the second one. It's bound to SCIM, which doesn't look to be something I need to use (it makes it easier to switch to non-English keyboard layouts), so I followed instruction on the EEE Wiki to "remove" it (really just takes it off the "turn on at startup" list).

Well, I've only had it since Friday, so I haven't hit memory issues yet. :) I did get a 2GB SD card (Target has 'em on sale for $19) which almost triples the usable memory (2.7GB is taken up by pre-installed stuff). I don't really plan to use this as a music machine, though, and otherwise there's not a lot of memory-hogging stuff I'm likely to generate.
