What's the lightest, fastest desktop environment for someone who couldn't care less about aesthetics?

To be honest I haven't looked at DSL in a while and couldn't remember if the whole thing was custom or if he used an existing environment.

Not sure what it uses but have you tried Damn Small Linux?

I run Ubuntu on my CR48. When the battery indicator turns red, I know I have 2 hours left. So, I'm good. Thanks, though!

That Tuts+ course is cool because it starts out so basic and then advances well. Definitely take a look if HTML and CSS are in your future.

How much are you looking to spend. I would consider selling mine, but to be honest I think you would have to give more a lot more than it is worth. Mine is in great shape. (US)

It's not "how", it's "why". Make content people want to view and share. Ask yourself why this is good.

(BTW, you have a good start.)

My old DV6000 does something similar. Every 5 - 10 minutes the wifi turns off for a second. Sort of a pain in the ass if you are browsing the web, really a pain in the ass if you are transferring files. Can't do any video streaming, which sucks because I use it as a media center.

I was also going suggest this somewhat clunky solution.

Actually I would say quality AND quantity.

I only know the one in Pittsford between 590 and the Pittsford Wegman's.

There is a hotel at the corner of East and Alexander, 1/4 mile from Monroe. It isn't ghetto, but the area definitely has a potential for less than savory characters. Also, you are a 90 second walk to about 11 bars, so drunken shenanigans may be evident.

This is actually good and practical advice that works for anyone going anywhere, not just survival.

Make apps, lots of them. That should be your resume. Make apps that are so good, people jump at the chance to work with you.

Maybe. In that sense I would think someone who goes to bars would be a barista.

It doesn't come from barista. "-ista" is a suffix which when added to a noun denotes someone who practices, believes or is adept in that noun.

A little ironic that the page is clearly using Twitter Bootstrap.

I did have issues with the battery coming loose, but I thought that was fixed. I will check them again at lunch. Thanks for your help!

I check my phone for reception often. If there is any danger, I know if I can communicate to the outside world, or more importantly where I can back track to if need be. Sometimes I text my GPS to my GF in. Again if there is ever a rescue need, they have some data to help find us.
