VLC in the garden

Arghhh! I thought I should try out the new MeeGo on an Acer Aspire One I had lying around. Worked like a dream, but lack of applications seems to be a problem. I was not able to read documents in µsoft formats - there was no UnclosedOffice around.

Anyway, I thought it was time to implement my plans for Internet radio in my garden. MeeGo wasn't the easy to use thing here either. So an Asus EEE 900 came to my rescue. It already had VLC installed, so once I located the streams of Danish radio (via dr.dk), I was able to share jazz, rock and other sounds with visitors that came by. I even had a set of PC speakers available, so neighbours could register my increased level of garden enjoyment.
