sample tracing new laptop adventures...

here i sit, blogging when i should be taking my poor clock to the post office to send back to the science museum, but i wanted to record this moment...

last week a member @ core arts was talking to me about steely dan, 3 albums in particular... so i got hold of two of these albums - the royal scam & aja...

and today i'm listening to them both... and on aja, there's a track called peg...

so i'm listening to peg & i hear something familiar... it takes me a little while to find what it is in my mind... but then it becomes clear, there's a track on 3 feet high & rising (de la soul's 1st album) that samples the track peg...

hugely pleasing to trace that...,

ok, laptop adventures... i'm blogging on it right now... there's a wireless router waiting for me in a different post office which i'm picking up in the morning... (i think)...

it came with windows 7 starter... and several cool asus things attached to it... the way the touchpad works & an over/under clocking thing...

but windows 7 starter frustrated me, so i got hold of windows 7 home premium, and put that on this machine, all well & good...

but i didn't do it how they expected me to do it, so the groovy asus things have gone...

how do i get them back?

this machine (an asus EeePC 1005A) came with a DVD... (although not a DVD drive)... so maybe those things are on there...

also, since putting W7HP on here i think it's got a bit more glitchy... (i could be wrong), so maybe W7 starter is in fact the right thing for this machine...?

so can i go back to how it was? do i want to?

all this in amongst the marking mountain i'm still climbing...

i'll keep you posted x
