Almost a Technocrat in Draft

This is an attempt to give my 3 years old pair of ASIC running shoes a new life by re-gluing the sole and also fixing the worn off heels section of the sole. I could throw away this old pair of running shoes but it would be interesting to see if I could fix them and re-purpose them for other uses. There are also other reasons that encourage me to fix them. First, this pair of running shoes are still in good condition, other than the worn off sole and worn off glue that sticks the top part and the sole. Second, ASIC make really good running shoes with their GEL technology. Wearing them running were comfortable and I could run slightly longer without my legs feeling fatigue compare to other pair of shoes. Third, this was an expensive pair of running shoes when I bought them and a new pair of ASIC running shoes are still expensive now.

I keep forgetting how to boot my Asus EeePC 1005px from USB drive whenever I need to reinstall my Ubuntu Linux into the netbook. This is how to do it. During the BIOS boot-up screen, press ESC button and you will be presented with a boot device menu. Select the USB drive that you have already plugged in to your netbook and press enter. The boot device you selected is temporary and it's good for the purpose of reinstalling OS into the netbook. You don't have to change the boot order from the BIOS setup as the change is going to be permanent. By using the boot device selection menu, you can temporary set the boot device for that boot up only.
