The NH Flickr Group is planning as photo meetup every Saturday this summer at 5am at some picturesque location.
Last week was at Merrimack’s Horse Hill Nature Preserve and this week was at Amhert’s Ponemah Bog.

Last month I ordered an hp 2133 mini-note with pre-installed Linux, specifically Novell’s SuSE Linux Enterprise Desktop 10 and it was back ordered until last week.
Here are the obligatory unboxing photos.
Man it is tiny, but after a few hours of getting use to it, it isn’t *too* small for typing. I’m getting to like the button under the space bar that disables the touchpad for when you are doing extended typing.
See the rest of the photos here:
HP 2133 mininote unboxing
I’ll be blogging more about this nice hardware as I explore it — hw specs, restore CDs, installing Ubuntu/Hardy and Fedora 9, and any little hints along the way.
Full Disclosure: While I do work for HP, it is not in any PC/notebook related area, although I do use Linux (RHEL4, OEL) on ProLiant servers on a daily basis. Also this a personal purchase for home use. I didn’t even get an employee discount!
We were in Concord visiting the Museum of NH History and stopped by the NH State House to look around inside. Just walking around looking at old paintings of Governors, checking out the legislator chambers, etc.
We walk by a Men’s restroom and Trevor, being a smartass, hits the handicap button that opens the heavy door.
It opens — and Governor John Lynch is washing his hands! Walking down the hall we get to talking and when he noticed my camera. He had an aid take a group photo in the Governor’s Reception room.
I love this little state!

First purchase a USB cable that works with the Samsung Flipshot U900 — I ordered one from 3GCables.com for $8.95 (and $6.95 s/h)
The default setting for the phone was to ask how it should present itself when connected via USB. The options are “Ask on Plug”, “Copy To/From Card”, “Sync Music” or “Modem”
Since I’m always going to use it like a usb-storage device, I changed it to always use “Copy To/From Card”.
Now you can copy files to /media/disk. My top level directory looks like this:
$ ls /media/disk/

This weekend I upgraded my phone to a Samsung Flipshot U900 which has a 3 megapixel camera. Now I have no excuse not to have a camera with me at all times…
Here is a comparison, as you can see the DSLR is much nicer, but the U900 takes a reasonable photo.

Griffin, Trevor and I were hiking over on the other side of Wildcat Falls and found these turkey tracks down by the Souhegan River.
