Emma brought an ASUS eeePC the other week from [Toys 'R' Us]. It’s amazing - I mean just look how small it is!
What we’ve tried:
- Skype video calling - yes it has a built in webcam and microphone, you have to get an update from ASUS for the video bit, but it works
- [BBC iPlayer]
- Linux games!!
- My Canon 400D!!
The only problems we had were with Skype windows being too big for the screen (when you’re adding contacts etc). But if you hold ALT and click on any window you can move it wherever you like regardless of window or screen edges :)

Yes Marc ad myself have completed Halo 3 in co-op on easy.
Also Marc found what is allegedly the easiest skull to find, and another skull that doesn’t get any achievements.
Note that there are supposed to be some comics that fill in between Halo 2 and Halo 3, except they aren’t done yet :(
Also note that despite Marc finding these things he died about 1 million times meaning the ‘mete game’ score was pretty poor.

Woo I have access to the BBC’s iPlayer closed beta :D
It’s Windows XP only and only works with Internet Explorer (support for Vista and OSX with maybe even Linux support on the way - allegedy)
You can have a go at getting in at [http://bbc.co.uk/iplayer]

I’ve had this player for nearly 2 months now and I’m very happy with it.
Good Things:
* Plays oggs (I don’t get any crackle or distortion like other people mentioned)
* Battery life really is in the region of 12 hours
* Works on Mac (panther and tiger), Windows and Linux
Bad Things:
* The control panel / touch buttons. Either they work for you or they don’t. I seem to have real issues clicking ‘Next’ but some of my friends can manage it fine. Maybe I have special fingers?
* The headphones - bin them
* The manual. It is rubbish and only works under Windows.
Notes:
* You need to plug it into either a powered USB hub or directly into the USB socket otherwise it doesn’t get the power it needs to charge - though it will eventually say it’s full it won’t have charged at all.
It would also be nice to be able to buy another of the USB cables that you need to charge and transfer data with, but I can’t seem to find where to buy one.
Overall - very nice and I wouldn’t change it for anything :)

[Clifton suspension bridge] got some new lighting to celebrate [Brunels 200th] birthday. I took some really rubbish photo’s due to the darkness and 6 million people all around me, but I did take a pretty good video of the lights coming on.
Check it out [here]
Credits to [Adam Hart Davis] who turned them on :)
