Roophloch 2024
==============

I am  in a little public  garden, waiting for my  daughter during her
piano lesson.  The month reaches  its end  and weather and  time made
quite difficult  for me to manage  a Roophloch session. As  it is the
last day, I take this opportunity.

I took  with me my  old Asus eeePC  900 with Debian  and i3. It  is a
quite slow device and I didn't realize  that sun will be a problem on
a non-luminous screen with a dark  theme. I don't have time to change
the theme and write the phlog entry,  so I don't see very well what I
am writing.

The device itself  was for me a revelation when  it appeared in 2009.
It was the first time I saw  a cheap mobile computer that was so easy
to put in your bag. It came with a Linux OS now disappeared, Xandros.
If the  idea of putting something  easy to use and  not too different
from Windows was nice, the system was quite limited and I put Lubuntu
only  a few weeks after purchasing.  But the important fact was I had
a second computer at home, without Windows  on it, and it helped me a
lot in  the idea of leaving  Windows without the risk  of being stuck
during Linux installation.

Later I gave  this computer to my  5 years old daughter.  She made it
fall, damaging  the articulation of  the screen, but it  still works.
These days, when  I don't use it  for Roophloch, I use  it to program
and connect my Arduino board.
