Asus G1 Gaming Series

Recently acquired a new Asus G1. This was a chance to go all out and build a beta-beast — a machine running the latest and greatest everything, with all the bells and whistles. The ultimate goal is to have a desktop replacement tricked out for cross-platform web development.

So far, I am seeing some instability problems (X / KDE crashing at seemingly random times). This is a work in progress.

Hardware Specs:

  • Processor: ASUS G1 Intel® Core™2 Duo T7200 (2.0GHz)
  • Screen: 15.4″ WSXGA+ (1680×1050) ColorShine
  • RAM: 2048M DDR2 667
  • Hard Disk: 160GB HD 5400 RPM
  • Graphics: NVIDIA GeForceGo 7700 GPU 512 MB

Operating System: Kubuntu 7.04 Feisty Fawn 64-bit

I will be installing XP and Vista in VMWare, and reporting back. Stay tuned.

Studio Moqa received LLC status in early March. You can see the PA Department of State filing here.

We’re rather pleased that our vast personal assets are now immune from the long arm of the lawsuits.

This post was written in Flock, the so-called social browser. I heard about Firefox’s new feature, The Coop, and decided to take a look at Flock.
