Mittuniversitetet

Just back from a quick trip to Mid Sweden University (or Mittuniversitetet). We were at the Östersund campus which is a little further north than the two other campuses, Härnösand and Sundsvall.

Since I got this netbook I’ve been trying to live life more in the cloud. Now that I have Windows 7 RC on it, I think I need to stay there so that I don’t lose too much if/when I need to re-install. First off a few weeks ago I started getting our data backed…

Installing Windows 7 on my Samsung NC10 Netbook

Here are the steps I took. 1. Ask via Twitter whether or not this would be a good idea! Ben was kind enough to suggest that he would willingly let me try first… He was also kind enough  to point me at this helpful starting point 2. Step 1: formatting Couldn’t find a USB stick…

For this to make sense you need to understand their “Social Technographics®” classifications which describe: Inactives, Spectators, Joiners, Collectors, Critics, and Creators. Their profile tool includes data…
