So here is a driver which will allow you to play these games and more on your netbook. Its just that i still play AOE i had to find a solution and not disable GMA 500 to play it.

This applies to most 11.6″ notebooks being powered by GMA 500. Some examples are Acer Aspire One 751,Asus Eee PC 1101HA,Benq Joybook Lite U121 Eco,Dell Inspiron 11z, MSI Wind U115 etc etc . For a complete list visit http://www.notebookcheck.net/Intel-Graphics-Media-Accelerator-500-GMA-500.12614.0.html.

PS: GMA 500 is a really underpowered Video Chipset, With Drivers which make it even worse. Avoid it at all costs.

So if anyone looking for a ARM9 Based Platform in India get a Beagle Board ... Its what i call Awesome for the price and performance. To get it you can go through either Indian vendors who overcharge and fleece as usual or Get it from Sparkfun(Awesome Service) where i got it from. Digikey also sells it but charges a hell of a lot of shipping. So if you are looking around source from US and dont waste time like i did looking locally and getting frustrated.

149 USD + 9 USD USPS = 160 USD ( approx Rs 7500 as of the time of posting ). The cables , SD card etc all can be bought for < Rs 500 locally.

While Indian vendors like Cranes etc are charging like Rs 13000. Why dont we have shops like spark fun in India .

You can also buy from IDA Systems for Rs 9000 http://www.idasystems.net/beagle_board.

Here is a small utility i wrote which helps me remain connected, gives vocal notification when i disconnect and is capable of resetting my router in case the router needs restart.

Some reasons i wrote it

• Bad MTNL ADSL Connection , disconnects every few minutes.
• Using Ping was not really helping, ping worked but when http request was sent Internet disconnected.
• Could not find any utility giving Vocal Notifications.
• Could not find any utility capable of executing applications in case of disconnection/connection. I needed my router to be reset when i disconnect due to some XBOX Live issues.

Anyhow it was written in a weekend , and am using it now and some of you guys might also find it useful so am releasing it for free. This requires .net 2.0 + .

Some features -

• Configurable fetch sites and fetch timeouts.Uses HTTP fetch.
• Vocal Notification of connection and disconnection.
• Execute application when connection or disconnection takes place. Usefull when you need to reset router etc.
• Sits idle in status bar , with notification icon and Baloon Tips.

In-case of ideas or bugs post them here .

• Ajax Comments
• Threaded Comments
• Gravatar
• Comment Paging
• Comment Cookies

It is bascically the k2 modified to look this way.There might be more features , but the above one would i think allow me to get back to people better.

This is meant for people who are comfortable with Drupal and know what they are doing.

Rest Reminder is a small utility which i wrote long time back to monitor computer activity and reminds me to take rest after every 30 minutes. I wrote this because once i start working i forget about everything else and this lead to dry eyes, irritation etc.This is the second version supporting Multiple monitors, Alpha Transparent block screen and Vista Compatible.

Unlike most such utilities this is free. You can specify after how much time of activity you want to take rest and for how long. And how long of inactivity will reset this time. This also comes facility to lock screen quickly or when there is a certain inactivity period.

Usage is very simple , Download and extract the program and then run the RestReminder.exe . After that configure the settings and press Apply to save changes. Press the close/hide button and let it go in the task bar.
