The Tablet Is In
September 2, 2005
My Lenovo tablet is here. Not much on it yet, but it's fun to play with. My first tablet is a first-generation slate tablet, big and heavy. This new one, the first convertible ThinkPad, is much lighter. And I really like being able to go back and forth between notebook and tablet modes.
I even got my networking staight on my first attempt. It recognizes my home wireless network, but switches well when I connect to either the wired or wireless networks at school.
The problem is that I don't have any software installed yet. It doesn't come with Office installed and it'll be a few weeks before the lab group is ready to put the lab image on it. So I'm hoping Melissa can loan me the Office disc. I've got Studio MX 2004 from my old DevNet subscription (may it rest in peace). And I did just load Dragon NaturallySpeaking on. That's the program I'm most interested to test. It was too slow on the old slate. My new machine is faster and has three times the RAM. We'll see if it makes a big difference over the weekend.
Hey You - Get Off On My Cloud
September 2, 2005
Okay. Entry two and Sue has guided me through the tricky world of adding a cloud to my blog. Not sure if I like it, but I thought I’d give it a whirl.
If you haven’t played with clouds before, it’s the collection of odd-sized words in the lower right-hand corner of the page. Each time I make an entry I’ll add some tags. Those tags are added to the cloud and the more I use those tags, the larger the tag will appear in the cloud. So it’s a quick way to see what I’m talking about most. Get it?
It may be too jazzy for me in the long run. But it’s worth trying out for now.
