Mar. 20th, 2007 10:36 pmSo far, so good on the moving front. We're not in a time-crunch, so we're not knocking ourselves out, but taking a load every time we go- which for me means that i stop on the way home from work and unload. Still having my right wrist- and increasingly the elbow as well complaining at me. There's probably something impinging the nerve bundle, but it isn't enough discomfort that it can't wait until after this is all done.
For those among you who are technology enthusiasts, i'd recommend taking a look at the little Nokia tablets. They're running a hardware-specific Gentoo Linux, and offer standard an internet browser, mail client, RSS reader, the standard complement of notetaking and calculation tools and entertainment options with 802.11 b/g wireless and Bluetooth connectivity in a form factor approximately 15 cm by 8cm by .7cm. Input is via stylus on an on-screen keyboard or handwriting recognition (which isn't quite perfect out-of-the box, but is still pretty passable). Especially if you're a traveller or someone who finds pockets of idle time in various places, it'll give you a fairly decent sampling of the functionality of a full sized laptop in a jacket-pocket sized package that you can take out and use in those spare minutes nearly anywhere.
