We're about halfway done with our upcoming episode in progress, but the Heir wants to take a break from further production on everyone's part thus far (me the Mentor, our girlfriends, the Chef and Marco, and other good folk) to get his linuxtop done.  As in a share below/previous, the Heir's satisfied that he only has 80% of his linuxtop up and running, and that he wants to get to the other 20%.  He wants to get networking working, so that he can share a folder on the linuxtop that he can get to through our Mac we do audio on.  He wants to see whether there's a problem with his CD drive, so that he can get to watch DVDs using vlc.  He wants to get Flash/Gnash/Lightspark and/or Pepper Flash running, mainly to do song previews on Amazon (he deems that a higher priority than to spend time with YouTube) for when the time comes for him to buy more tracks in a couple weeks.  He wants to go to wireless.kernel.org to get those WiFi files the installer said he needs to do WiFi with.  And other things on his list include clamz, the ability to record online audio, being able to sync his radio scanner with that scanner site through the linuxtop, and to make turtleback style disc shaped panels for the back of his linuxtop monitor lid.  That last one will help get the linuxtop in line with the second pillar of classiness, even though two turtlebacks will be checkered-flag style (one with red squares and the other with black squares), and the other two will have sheens similar to his spaceplates for the aux jack in the car (one red with chrome trim, and the other turquoise with silver trim, both of which will have a trim seal in the middle).  So if he doesn't get the minimum of the above done by the end of next January, he'll consider that date we did an announcement here that he has 80% of the linuxtop to be when this Year Of Nominality ended.  Right now we're typing all this through that dang tablet the fetters of which he wants to get free of, with the linuxtop, so there isn't that excessive vanilla umbilical cord.

"I want to get the other 20% done with the linuxtop."
