ACER FERRARI ONE 200

If you have been watching my life stream this past week, you have likely seen the red laptop sitting on my desk. It is an ACER FERRARI ONE part of the 200 series. This notebook is part of the new Vision program set forth by AMD. Visionb tries to make easier for consumers to understand if the computer they are about to buy will do the things they want to do..gaming, email, internet browsing and productivity apps. I’m all about productivity, so I’m looking forward to really putting this machine through its paces.
The notebook is running Windows 7 by 64 bit operating system on top of AMD M780G chipset, and is running an AMD X2 Dual Core processor. This is beefy notebook. It’s not a netbook. Netbooks are typically cheap and slow, and don’t have enough power. The Ferrari is powerful and portable, weighing in at only about 3,3 pounds.
The Ferrari One 200 has an 11.6 inch screen with gorgeous little monster, with a 16x9 aspect ratio widescreen. The Ferrari packs 4 GB of RAM inside the case, with Wireless-N networking capability built in. You’ll also find a 2,5” hard drive inside, along with hi-def audio functionality. Thankfully, the built in card reader will read almost any type of removable media you might have lying around.
The reason why AMD has sent this particular unit is to show off part of their Eyefinity project. This port will let me connect to up to three different screens. Yes, it will run all three of them. How many notebook can do that? When you are at school or work, you want to be portable and save space. But at home, you want to hook up to larger monitors. Hook up the Ferrari to them, and you’re good to go. They will be treated as one screen by the machine, and will work flawlessly for you. There’s no need for a separate desktop to use with all those home monitors – the Ferrari has more than enough power and speed to handle nearly anything you would need it to do.
I don’t have to configure anything in software to make three screens work. It’s seamless, making it appear as though it is one giant screen. This is an important technology, fellow Gees. You really NEED multiple screen these days.

So what is "IPv6", and why do I need to know about it?

IPv6 or IP version 6 is the next generation Internet protocol which will eventually replace the current protocol IPv4. IPv6 has a number of improvements and simplifications when compared to IPv4. The primary difference is that IPv6 uses 128 bit addresses as compared to the 32 bit addresses used with IPv4. This means that there are more available IP addresses using IPv6 than are available with IPv4 alone. For a very clear comparison, in IPv4 there is a total of 4,294,967,296 IP addresses. With IPv6, there is a total of 18,446,744,073,709,551,616 IP addresses in a single /64 allocation.
To also help illustrate the sheer magnitude of available IP addresses using IPv6, you can get 65536 /64 allocations out of a single /48, and then 65536 /48 allocations out of a single /32. Many Service Providers are getting /32 allocations from their Regional Internet Registry (RIR) like ARIN, APNIC, RIPE, etc.
A significant difference between IPv6 and IPv4 is the address notation. IPv4 uses a period (.) between each octet, compared to IPv6 which uses a colon (:). With IPv6, if you have a series of zeroes in a row, the address need not be written out completely. You can use a double colon (::) to represent that series of zeroes, however you can only use that once. For example, if you have an address like "2001:0DB8:0000:0003:0000:01FF:0000:002E", it can be written like "2001:DB8::3:0:1FF:0:2E" or "2001:DB8:0:3:0:1FF::2E", but would never be written like "2001:DB8::3::1ff::2E". You also cannot have three colons in a row (:::).
IPv6 availability depends on your Service Provider, either at home or for work. In a dual-stack environment, IPv4 and IPv6 co-exist along the same connection and don't require any special kind of connection. If dual-stack is not available, you might find yourself using an IP tunneling product or service to bring IPv6 connectivity to you. IPv4 exhaustion, as of this writing, is estimated to happen sometime in early or mid 2011. When this happens, IPv4 won't simply disappear off the face of the Internet, but continued explosive growth requiring more unique IP address assignments will mean using more and more of the abundant IPv6 address space.
Many Operating System platforms have native IPv6 support these days. The UNIX based platforms like Linux, BSD (Free, Open, Net) & MacOSX have had IPv6 support enabled for years now. Microsoft Windows starting having native IPv6 support enabled by default with it's Vista and Windows 2008 products. Earlier Windows versions like 2000/2003/XP had to have it installed optionally, and did not have as robust features that are available in the newer versions of Windows. Even common web browsing and email software will use IPv6 if it is enabled and available, without having to check off an option or special configuration. The transition from IPv4 to IPv6 is being worked on to be as seamless as possible, and many might not even notice the subtle changes in the coming years

My Article writting Template

Effectivity is simply effective productivity. It demands that you know exactly what you want to achieve and only then can you be effective in productively pursuing this goal. This is contrasted to ineffectivity, which is the process of productively pursuing actions which are not effective in carrying you to your goals. In the past I have often been guilty of ineffectivity.
I’ve been blogging since Juli 2008, although this particular site is still very young. Over the past 8 months my aim has been to thoroughly enjoy writing articles for as many people as possible. Unfortunately, the reality, has been a combination of success and failure in an unpredictable and often unintelligible blogging mess.
I found that I would sit down and bash away at the keyboard, rapidly churning out 1000 words that were neither easy to read or easy to understand. I always had something useful to say, but often it was so disguised in bad writing that my readers would have to work very hard to get value from their time spent reading.
Those were the bad old days. Today, my writing is a lot more organised. I haven’t mastered the art of writing yet, but believe me, I have improved a lot. Much of this improvement happened over night when I put effectivity to work and started using Article Templates as a form of pre-writing my articles.
The first step was for me to discover that my primary goal was to write articles that changed peoples lives. These articles would have to be clear, concise and practical if I wanted them to be useful in any life changing way, so I decided that my old writing productivity was no longer adequate. I had to develop a new effectivity tool that would help me to be effective in my productivity. I call this tool an Article Template.
My Article Template is simply a long cardboard strip that I devised as a tool to organize my writing. I sit my Article Template beside a page of ordinary lined A4 paper and simply answer the questions that my Template asks. These answers then become the outline or backbone of the article that I subsequently write. These are the type of questions that my Article Template asks:
- How many words will it take me to make my point?
- What site is the article written for?
- What category will the article fit in?
- What is the main point that I want people to walk away with?
- What is the problem that my main point addresses?
- What is a good illustration to explain this point?
- What are the topic sentences for each paragraph.
After I write out this outline, my template asks me the following check-up questions:
- What will this article reveal about me and my journey in self development?
- Is the application clear?
- Is it practical?
- Is there a comment question?
- Is the main point written in a “take away” form?
- Does the article motivate and encourage action right now?
- Is there research that I need to do before finally writing the article?
I have found that using my Article Template, I am able to write my article outline in about 10 minutes. This 10 minutes saves me about half an hour of re-arranging and editing a badly written article on the screen, and at the end of the process I believe that my articles are twice as succinct and valuable to my readers.
This is a very simple application of effectivity at work. I knew what I wanted to achieve and I found an incredibly effective way to achieve it productively. If only the rest of life could be this simple…. but maybe it is if we find the right tools?
If you have any questions about my template or how to use it please feel free to drop a comment here.
