Friday Aaahhh

Well here i am on a Friday night, nice and chilled perched on a chair by the kitchen table, actually feeling quite content. I think it's the sunshine! As it's now 21:20 by the cooker clock, the sun has gone to bed finally so my lil baby eeePC just had to come out. ;) I've just installed WinXP SP2 on the eee with the absolute AMAZEMENT at just how much space it's eaten of this baby 4GB drive. 2.25GB was allocated to the Windows partition thinking 'pah, that'll be plenty'. Nope. Just the Service Pack 3 to go and 219 meg remaining ....... I think I'll forget installing that OpenOffice.org 3 beta ! A funky little tool I've discovered is GParted , a partitioning tool. Yeah, partitioning tools are everywhere but this one is neat in that it boots off a Live CD or Live USB ... not only that, it supports every filesystem you can think of and most of all, it's free. Aha! The service pack has downloaded now so I'm off to try squeeze it on! Otherwise GParted will be brought out a second time ... wish me luck!
