Carputer — Road trip!

Got the carputer installed last weekend. We took the car out on the road for the first time. I still haven’t decided on a decent GUI, though. The Windows Desktop is all I have right now. I see Frodo is coming out with a new release — I’ll have to try it.

For now, though, I find that I can easily play a DVD movie from the hard drive using WinDVD on the rear monitor while I run the GPS app on the front monitor. Sweet!

I added NetStumbler this week. It plays a little alert when it detects a wi-fi access point. Man, those things are everywhere!

Gotta get something better than Windows for a GUI, though. The desktop is not very touchscreen friendly.
