An adventure with a family members HP TC1100

This evening I spent reinstalling windows onto an HP TC1100 tablet pc. My sister-in-law picked it up at a yard sale for $100. Someone had installed a linux distribution on it and did not manage to set it up right. It is now mostly working, it just needs some updates. A clean install of XP is normally fast, and this one is no exception. Of coarse it will slow down as the kid that will use it installs a bunch of software on it.

Cell phone problems

I cannot receive calls right now, making calls seems to be an issue part of the time as well. T-Mobile is having a network problem. Here is hoping they get it fixed soon. What is funny is that data is working with no problems.

New personal site and Facebook badge.

I have set up a facebook badge on my new personal page. It is limited, but provides a link to my facebook profile. I have also added some other information on the site.

The new site and Facebook gadget

It looks like the Facebook gadget does not play in the way I hoped. It is set up to display stuff from your profile, it would display info from your facebook, not mine. I will keep looking for a way to display at least my status updates on the site.
