88plug re-launches the Antiques Diva

Posted on Dec 14, 2010 in Featured, Sample Work | 0 comments

88plug is proud to announce the release of the Antiques Diva.

“The Antiques Diva® is the nom de plume for Toma Clark Haines, an American expat living in Europe whose life story has been liberally sprinkled with Cinderella dust. As a child growing up in Oklahoma, Toma dreamed of global adventures. While other kids drew houses with picket fences, Toma drew gondolas with men in striped shirts. After studying abroad in London in university, Toma returned home on the range to marry her college sweetheart. After saying “I do,” she immediately began whispering in his ear words of far-away places and before long her dream became his. When a serendipitous opportunity arose, offering them a chance to live and work in Europe, they moved to Paris for 5 years and then Amsterdam for 4. Along with her husband and well-traveled pet Catpuccino, Toma currently resides in Berlin nearby Brandenberg Gate and the Reichstag. ”

ThinkPad x201 Ubuntu 10.04 Lucid Lynx Wireless

Posted on Jun 14, 2010 in Linux | 0 comments

The ThinkPad x201 is a great platform for Ubuntu 10.04.  The default installation contains an outdated version of the Thinkpad BGN wireless drivers.  After first boot you can see networks(not all available), and connect to some – but in general this will give you difficulties.  The recommendation is to first update your installation via-Ethernet to automatically download the patch.  Upon restart, you will have a fully functional Ubuntu installation.

This is where and how it was solved:
