Signed up for Tripit and it looks nice

I signed up for tripit.com and it looks like it will be a big help.  It keeps track of all your confirmations in one place for your trip itinerary.

Next Big Thing on Cnet Live interesting.

IP TV  is great but I think all providers see it as a value add.  They don't want to exchange any current revenue for the iptv replacement revenue, they want to get it on top of your current bill.
The first to be a winner with it will be the one that sees it as a more efficient distribution method of what you receive now.  If they don't broadcast all possible channels but just the ones you are watching, that leaves
extra room in the pipe for faster and bigger ideas in each direction.

Boxee on Jolicloud HP mini

I installed boxee on my HP mini running Jolicloud.  I like its internet streaming ability might have to add it to my full size laptop.  That way I could watch on the big screen tv.  Jolicloud is making the netbook feel zippier.

Installed Jolicloud on Netbook

I wiped windows xp off my hp mini 1000 and installed Jolicloud as the only operating system.  It seems to be a good fit it is very snappy and responsive.  I like that it was no muss no fuss to setup with everything just working.  It took like 15 minutes to install that was from boot to install to running the operating system.  It takes like 30 seconds to boot from touching the power switch.

Now autoposting Posterous Posts to My Wordpress Blog

I have decided to have posterous autopost to myblogat.wordpress.com.
I might move this around depending on the subject.  If it is Tiger related I might start sending it to blogspot.

Trying Jolicloud on netbook

I used Unetbookin to install Jolicloud on my netbook, HP mini 1000.  It seems to be fast and responsive.  The media codecs are installed automatically.  Wireless works out of the box which is good.  I might have to go for a full install.  It seems to be a good match for an on the go machine, easy to keep up to date and runs quick on the hardware.  Have to see about using skydrive as a place to upload files for safekeeping while on the go.

Downloading Ubuntu Netbook Remix for HP Mini

I am downloading Unetbootin and Ubuntu Netbook Remix for the HP Mini.  Hope to get it working with wireless tonight.  It will be the first time I have used linux as the only OS on a computer.  I hope it helps speed up the netbook.  You know keep it light and quick for on the go use.  I needed something to do on a cold day. It is an HP Mini 1116NR with 16gb SSD.
