Tip of the day: Not all roads are straight lines ...

Well I was following the "GPS" thingy and am now in a corn field.


I've driven my $50 tablet (kablet, dablet?) into the ditch and lost touch screen function.


It looked good and worked fine until I went "off road" like on tv ads.

Wireless surfing seems to use about 350ma so 2 1/2 hours to dead dog.

Screen shot of gparted shows very little space is needed
- debian rootfs 5GB available used only 2.43GB.

Response is slow (as you would expect but still usable.


I expect best added value will be
- debian side to collect (and maybe reformat w/ calibre?)
&
converting web page/articles to epub (w/ dotepub?)
then
epubs moved to kobo side for
best reading experience.

If you use the device within it's limits it works well.

It's like ...

while you can get a fat old man into a bikini "speedo" it's never a beautiful sight.

Midori browser seems very good and even synaptic was usable.

Some apps (like synaptic etc) may need internal icon tweaks to get visibility up to standard ...
