Well I hope you all had a great Xmas and New Year.

I've been having a good time (if quiet), and have been spending an awful lot of time playing with my Eee (see previous post).

The eeeuser.com community site has proved an excellent resource, and since I last posted I've installed the advanced desktop (more flexible than the simple version supplied as default, if you want to fiddle about with the system), updated Skype so it now supports the built-in camera (worked like a dream last night during a New Year's video call to my family) and added a PDF printer.

I've also successfully hooked up and used my HP printer and antique Mustek scanner, and am in danger of getting hooked on Tuxpaint, especially the stamp tool which lets you produce wonderfully surreal images. See picture for what I'm on about. This program is waaaay too good for just kids to play with!

Well it's some mad time in the small hours so I'd better get some sleep...
