Gardening Account

Some gardeners used to keep a harvest account every year. It’s good idea if you want to know what your garden gives you except of pleasure and excercise. You can make it easily in paper or in one excel sheet or in a blog post.

I don’t keep my harvesting records until now because I don’t have a scale to weight my harvest. I must buy one. But I used to keep an account for my gardening expenses.

My plan for off-grid internet

All my life I had desktop. I work and design with my desktop. But when I am in my plot I can’t take it with me icon razz My plan for off grid internet

So the plan was to buy a laptop, find money for a small solar panel for electricity and search for a satellite internet connection.

I search a lot for a good netbook. Finally I buy the eee pc netbook 1001P which has good battery and I can work at least 9-10 hours with a single charge (Intel Atom N450 1.66 GHz Processor, 1 GB RAM, 160 GB HDD, WLAN, 11 Hour Battery, Windows XP Home, White)). The netbooks have smaller monitor so they need less electricity than bigger laptops and 1001P has the new N450 processor inside which use less energy.

It’s a good netbook. I will buy it again. If I use it the night it’s better because I can have the monitor in the lowest bright and I spend less battery. I have it with me the last time I was in my plot and I didn’t use it so much because I didn’t have internet but the battery last 10 days. Yeah!
