The Egg Man

This is a test message.

Sometimes, you wonder. How long it will take to handle a simple task.  It can take several hours.

This is a short note to let the few readers (if any) know how you can chat with Live chat to me.  I’m fairly active on serveral Internet Relay Chat (IRC for short) servers. But the one that makes it easiest for you to reach me on is called GeekShed. This small network allows Flash IRC Clients to connect to it. I presume most computers (and mobile devices) with a web browser has access to Flash these days. You can get the information on how to connect on the live chat link at the top left of my blog. Alternatively you can use a new and improved flash client on chat.eggy.cc!

Thaat is all for now.

Last couple of posts have been about my Pandora progress. I’m still patiently waiting for the email saying its going to be shipped, but while I wait I’ve got to occupy myself with a couple of side projects.  One of them is Google’s  Chromium  OS, the developer side of me has always wanted to build an entier operating system from source. Being involved with the Chromium OS project has helped me establish this need and I love working with Google.

I’ve been tracking the Chromium OS project from the day Google made the announcement to open the code to everybody. That day (or maybe it was the day after) took the plunge and downloaded the source code and built an entier operating system from source. It was very daunting at first, but I struggled through it and now I build Chromium OS at least once a week to see what Google has done to improve it.

(Btw, you’ll notice that I’m not saying Chrome OS. It is the  same operating system, but as I’m NOT Google nor will I be bundling the OS with a net book I’m creating.. I will not call it Chrome OS.)

Now that there’s some history, here’s what I really wanted to say.. According to the Chrome developer mailing list there might be some vmware based builds available for anybody to test. Though, Google has not released any official binary builds at this point, they might just keep them internally.
