Didn't rate Linpus linux so I put Arch on it instead: http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Acer_Aspire_One Ubuntu should be pretty easy get up and running too: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AspireOne I'm finding the battery life isn't up to much though. A 6-cell battery - giving 5/6 hours of battery life - is available, although a bit tricky to find. I bought an Aspire One recently and really like it.

I'll be happier when I get my passport back from the Indian High Commission! Decided I'm going to employ my brother's girlfriend as my PA to keep me organised :p I'm more excited about it than worried 99% of the time but i can't help stopping and thinking "what the hell am I doing??!" every now and again! I'm glad I'm leaving too and thanks for the offer of contacts :) it's amazing how many people know someone living in New Zealand! I may well take you up on the offer at some point. Tell Gib we're all dying to meet her! Do you know when you're coming back yet? I’m sure it will pass, I’m just having the odd freakout at the moment.

It happens alot for big events like the one you are undertaking. There's an infinite number of what ifs so instead of thinking they are going to happen just accept that some will happen and deal with them at that time. You can't plan for every eventuality. As long as you have planned the things you need to get from A to B the rest will fall in to place. Gib is suffering from the same thing. It's essentially her first time out of the country so I understand. Maybe it's a girl thing, the subjective rather than the objective. Remember the world is so small these days, communication is not an issue and help is only a phone call away. I am so glad you are taking the initiative to pack up shop, say "fuck the system" and do your own thing. I've been waiting for at least one of my friends there to do it. I'm proud of you. I have people to support you if needed in Islamabad, all over Thailand, parts of Aus, Philipines, Singapore, Indonesia, Malaysia, Cambodia and New Zealand. Suffering from “what if” syndrome.

]]> Comment on In which I quit my job and go travelling round the world… by Eric http://www.deletia.co.uk/2008/06/20/hello-world/#comment-2 Eric Fri, 27 Jun 2008 03:41:08 +0000 http://www.deletia.co.uk/?p=1#comment-2 Once you've grown up in the UK it becomes the same old, same old. After you move away you begin to appreciate it's true beauty, things you miss that you never even considered before. I will be back in the UK and I'm also looking forward to it but I will also miss being here so much. Where else in the world could I travel most of SE Asia on my weekends. Britain is losing it's tradition and culture so much something I hope will never happen in this area of the world. My final destinations before I return are to be Lang Kawi, Malaysia and climb Mt Kinabalu something I've been meaning to do since I arrived here 5 years ago. I'm closing this chapter of my life but will be revisiting it soon. Once you’ve grown up in the UK it becomes the same old, same old.
