Day Four & Five
Day Four with a Chromebook was fun. I’ve been building a twitter client for ChromiumOS - to make Twitter a bit more accessible, instead of being a website.
Unfortunately, I couldn’t build it on the Chromebook itself. No IDE, see (although, I could change that!)
Day Five has been two lectures and a seminar. All in all great, except the wireless network keeps dropping out. I need to...
Day Two + Three
Day two of using a Chromebook went well. Two lectures. Pretty simple. Google Docs for notes, and again Terminal for IRC. Awesomes!
Day three was not good. I had to use my Mac, purely because the programming environment was BlueJ, a kiddy IDE for those learning Java. I couldn’t get it across to ChromeOS, no matter how hard I tried.
However, I’m looking into working with panels, so I...

Day One
Uno. This is Day 1 with a Chromebook. And it’s pretty awesome.
Used it in a lecture - Google Docs for notes, and using the Terminal to connect to the IRC (crosh > ssh > irssi). And in a seminar, however that was simply evaluating websites in W3C’s validator.
Easy

So, for a week, I will be making my “Chromebook” my main computer for a week. The reason? So I can get a better idea of what kind of Chrome Web App I should be attempting next week.
It’s quite fun. But I wouldn’t mind a little Twitter panel for tweets (idea?), or Spotify. Need Spotify!!
I hate the Internet.
Well, technically not true. I hate the internet connection here. It is evil. Pure evil. Thanks to a wonderful BT Home Hub v2.0.
So today I went into town and bought a Netgear N300 router with a modem. Like a boss.
And after a lot of setting up, and running back and forth with IP issues, it’s active.
Hooray!
So now we get 1.83Mbps instead of 0.2Mbps. And...
My routine tonight:
while(!$me->isTired()) {
$me->writeCode();
$me->drink($drink);
if (empty($drink)) {
$drink->refill('Pepsi Max');
}
}
To change your Facebook primary email address (i.e. add a new email address, change it to your primary address, and then delete the old email address) you have to enter in the same Facebook password four times.
