Windows Update and the EEE
Windows Update can officially go to hell.
When I turned on the EEE for the first time, it had about 2.5GB free on a 4GB disk. After letting Windows update run free, I’ve got a whopping .5 GB free.
When I get back to the states and have access to an external DVD drive, I’m going to have to run the recovery disk and zero this thing back to a known state, then be a little pickier about what updates I allow.
I’m really quite glad for the 4GB SDHC card that came free in the box, if I didn’t have that, this PC would be pretty close to unusable now.

About the author:
I’m a married 30-odd-year-old fanboy, college student, and software QA guy, mostly recovered from an 8-year long Everquest addiction and trying to catch up on the last decade of videogames as a result.
I’m working towards a BA in Japanese and hope to be done by 2011.
This blog contains an awful lot of posts about games as I finish them, occasional rants about keeping in shape, the odd bit of bitching about the antics of the instructors and students I cross paths with, and every once in a while a post or two related to weird things I’ve seen while traveling.
Oh, and the occasional post about videogame girls in glasses because I like making my wife roll her eyes and shake her head at me.
