WATCHOUT!!!!!!!
Hey, I have not been to this blog since I ordered the Nanonote but I have to say its
a lot of fun.
First up reflash the thing. Its a little tricky but theres a really helpful guy that
seems to live in the irc channel and answers any question really thoughtfully
Okay then you've got nano and grep and less and more and some other cool stuff
like an ogg player that works really well etc UPDATE NANO IS FOR BABIES AND I AM NOW IN LOVE WITH vi
Okay so you're a writer and you want to use the nanonote to scribble
ideas, well it has a really nice dictionary stardict on it after you
re flash it and you can dig metaphysically into whichever words you like
Okay, also I'm using this Linux utility grep to operate this rhyming dictionary with fantastic results
and that will be the content of my next post
What you do is press ctrl alt and a function key like f1 f2 etc and it brings up another console so you run nano in one and type you're ideas and have stardict and a rhyming dictionary with grep in another. It's portable paradise. And despite myself I don't mind typing with my thumbs. It's not too inneficient if you are a good qwertyist anyway, Not as good as the trs80 model 100 tho.
Anyway I've been too busy playing with the solidly built and insanely great nanonote
to write about it. Get one, its great, you'lll learn more about bash and linux than you
ever would with a gui computer. Rebuild the microsphere with qi hardware. You've got to build it for yourself. Set yourself freeeeeeeee.... It will only get better and better. And your trs80 model 100 will finally get a well earned rest. FOR NOW . . . . . . . . . .

20 Dingo = about 90 bucks
******THE DINGOO******
Okay, so I have one of those things from deal extreme i bought it before a long train trip from Melbourne to Adelaide and it took about 3 months to come, I was already back from a really nice trip to adelaide and had one last hurrah with the GBA flash cart for nes roms when it finally arrived.
The dingoo looks like a gameboy advance sp but has a "decent" computer inside. Anyway it's super cool, its built in operating system is a good video and music player. It fits in a shirt pocket and the headphone jack on its side makes plugging the headphones in super slick. Pressing the control pad to change songs is like living inside that Captain N the game master cartoon where the hero gets sucked into his nes and becomes a cartoon and has a nes controller on his belt so he can pause the game and stuff like that when the video excrement hits the 8 bit fan.
One best thing about the dingoo is Dingux and the handful of super dedicated compilers who bring us one by one all the open source emulators and pc game ports we dingoo users could dream of utilizing.
Some super smart guy managed to flash the firmware and boot the gameboyish dingoo thingy into linux . I have to put a guitar pick in my minisd slot because the springs don't quite push it into its slot so using the linux side of the dingoo always makes me feel like a bit like some kind of greek god of rock and roll resourcefullness.
I also like using the dingoo for music the LGPT tracker is a ripper I have a bunch of organ samples I usually use in a mod tracker but they came over easily to lgpt and its really fun to have a sequencer on the go.
The other thing is in my rock and roll set I use a gameboy advance with a flashcart to play mod files I compile into a gba rom. Anyway I like to use the built in Operating systems gba emulator to test out my draft versions of the roms because flashing the GBA is a little bit of a pain and I've run out of Double A Bateries so the lituium trooper keeps me rocking.
Anyway that's my first tech post. More about the Dingoo and probably some stuff about the TRS80 Model 100 circa maybe 1980 or so.

Okay, so this is my new technology blog. I just ordered a Ben Nanonote today and thought I'd make a blog about it. But as I don't have it yet I realized I didn't have anything to say about it. Hang on, I can talk about all the cool tech I have in my life for music maths and fun. That would be a better scope for this blog and if the nanonote is cool too so be it. So, AWAY WE GO!!!!!
