Buddycloud

I recently got my hands on a OLPC XO (a second hand G1G1). It's a cutie! And the best of all: A display that is usable in the sun. Hello office in the park!

The sugar UI i found a bit strange at first so I decided to set it up to boot Ubuntu from a USB stick, but after having gone through that hassle, I had kind of gotten used to the almost naiive simplicity of the Sugar interface. I rarely boot it to Ubuntu at all anymore...

So now I am sitting in the bus, doing my semi-daily cattle-commute to work (the one that pays my bills). This used to be 1 hr 20 min (each way) either wasted, or at best spent sleeping. But now i can do lots of things on my little green toy. Write blog entries for once.

Oh and I got it all online by setting up my Nokia N95 as an ad-hoc wifi access point using JoikuSpot. Awesome!

My phone is really getting some exercise, currently running JoikuSpot (GPRS, Wifi), Buddycloud (GPRS, Bluetooth, GPS) and PuTTY (GPRS) at the same time. It's a new level of connectivity, at least for me...

Update: It's 09:15 and my phone needs a chargin'. New battery drainage record!
