Automated truth

[ewx]

On this computer, if I type “www.” in the address bar, it completes to www.greenend.org.uk/rjk/spoolstats. My laptop prefers www.ocado.com, computers that I can take into the kitchen being better for online groceries than computers that (checks…) I cannot lift with one hand. Actually it seems like the kind of task that a tablet computer might be good for, but not enough so to justify the cost.

What do you get?

I have an Archos 101 g8 tablet which I use in the kitchen to display recipes. It has a kick-stand which makes it useful for this kind of thing.

It's also hackable - I have bodhri Linux running as a second operating system on it. It also works nicely as a uPnP/DLNA player to keep the kids busy by streaming cartoons from the network drive (and can play them out to the TV too through the HDMI port).

It turned out to be a lot more useful than I though it would.
