Bought new Laptop – NX7000

Wednesday, September 15th, 2004

I just got a new laptop, it’s a Compaq/HP NX7000

Centino 1.6Ghz
1 Gb Ram
60 GB HD
WSXGA Screen (1600*1050)
Ati Radeon 920 w/64MB Vram
Wifi and Bluetooth

Since I left the USA I have been stuck using Windows, my Suse workstation is in Tampa .. but it’s all about to change, the Laptop comes with XP preloaded .. it will be automatically Wiped out, and a fresh Suse 9.1 Pro will be installed.

The laptop left the UK yesterday and it’s in Lisbon now, it will be at my doorstep tomorrow .. so I am anxious

feel like a kid the day before XMAS

Apartment I is out

- Didnt got the Apartment in Swansea (I)

Yesterday I got an email form Adam, they decided to let the apartment to somebody else that came to see it during the weekend.

Quite a bummer, he and Claire sounded real nice people to have as housemates.

I still plan to call Adam when I arrive and get togueder for a Pint .. I also understand it is hard for him to rent it to somebody he cant meet first.

Well, it’s back to the listings .. hopefully somehting else will come up :)

Spoke with Adam about the apartment

Saturday, September 4th, 2004

I am trying to get a flat share in the Uk town of Swansea, today I called and spoke with the flat owner, “Adam”

He sounded like a nice guy, he has informed me that other people have also looked at the place and he will make up his mind by the end of the month.

From what I know the place is in Swansea, it’s a new home (4 years) and the only flat mates would be Adam and a recent graduate called Claire.

The rent itself is 200� a month, plus about 20� for utilities .. which is VERY good ..

Lets hope I get it :)
