My Dell Inspiron Mini 10v Notes

, ,

Some notes from my experience with a Dell Inspiron Mini 10v, so I don’t forget.

  • Base checklist, also taking hints from here specifically the use of Netbook Maker and Netbook Installer.
  • BIOS change to A04 worked as described. Lots of LOUD beeping involved.
  • Don’t have a large capacity flash drive so using an older 20 GB external USB drive to store the Snow Leopard installation files.
  • Takes about 3 hours to build install drive.
  • Netbook Maker versus Netbook Installer. Use Netbook Maker to prep the Snow Leopard install drive. Use Netbook Installer after Snow Leopard is installed.
  • Use Netbook Maker 0.8.2. When I used version 0.8.3 RC4 to prep the Snow Leopard drive, the Snow Leopard install wouldn’t even start, reporting an unsupported CPU during a kernel panic. With version 0.8.2, installation goes as expected.
  • While booting up from the Netbook Maker-ed Snow Leopard installation drive, don’t view the (Chameleon??) options. Whenever I did this, it messed up my Snow Leopard installation drive. Not sure why, but end result is I had to build the drive again and wait 3 hours.
  • In the BIOS, leave USB BIOS Legacy support enabled. When I disabled it, the 10v bootup sequence changed and didn’t want to boot off the external Snow Leopard installation drive.
  • After installation of Snow Leopard, be sure to remove the drive while the machine is rebooting (or change the startup sequence).  Otherwise, the Snow Leopard install will startup again.

Sampled Wraps and Rolls Hawaii

,

Refreshing and light were my first thoughts biting into a California Crab wrap from Wraps and Rolls Hawaii.

But first, full disclosure that this wrap is regularly priced at $2.90, but I received it free as a gift.

California Crab WrapFilled with imitation crab, rice noodles, crispy lettuce, avocado, and cucumber, the crab wrap was the right size with a nice balance of ingredients. The creamy wasabi dressing is a perfect match to spice up the wrap just enough. I would suggest that the dressing be in a wider container so I can dip the wrap instead of scooping it out with the included spoon.

The Wraps and Rolls Hawaii menu features more than just wraps, and they just opened a second location at Ward (in the former Ben and Jerry’s location).

You can follow them on Twitter at @wrapsandrollshi.

From recent analytics, I knew I <3 Twilight, Jacob and Taylor Lautner, and these latest stats enforce Team Jacob’s fandom.  But would I have guessed that pimping out Jacob Black would turn into a blessing?

In December 2008, I made the switch from Google’s Blogger to WordPress, and Pulpconnection visits tanked.  Links and URLs broke or changed, ruining Pulpconnection’s standings with search engines.  But look what happened in October and November 2009, activity finally caught up with and exceeded averages from one year ago.

That’s the blessing of  being Taylor Lautner’s boy toy!  So I’d like to say thanks to Taylor, he of the washboard abs.
