I'm hoping to travel by train from Bangkok to the south of the country round about Nov 7th. Obviously if the flooding gets bad they'll be forced to stop train services at some point. Is there anywhere to get regular news on the status of the service?
Just got a new Aspire D250 and put Ubuntu Netbook on it, now I'm looking to increase battery life.
So far I've:
- stopped a few unnecessary startup items
- installed cpufreqd (staggered how much cooler the thing runs now, very handy as I bought it specifically for my next holiday in Thailand)
- used powertop and its very handy suggestions
- installed Opera rather than Firefox, though TBH FF doesn't seem so much of a glutton as it does under Windows, maybe I haven't been using it long enough to build a humungous cache.
Anyone know any more tweaks to get a bit more life out the battery?
