Discussing Some Ideas for a Computer in a Flash Drive

We have several ideas for our computer in a flash drive idea that we want to build this summer. Below we discuss some of them.

One idea is that we could put an entire operating system on the flash drive. All the files for the OS would be saved on the flash drive. This option would be the most difficult, but probably the best for actual use. We are not certain, but the OS would likely only run on non-Mac computers. We will probably try this method, becuase it would be. Pretty awesome if it worked.

Aother option is to run individual programs off of the flash drive, instead of a full OS. Tis option would require less space, and it might allow us to run a wider range of programs, ones that are compatible with all computers.

We'll probably try both of these options and see which one we like the best. If they both work famously, perhaps we'll keep going with both. Some day, these could turn into a full fledged product line. We'll just have to see.

Stick around, because this summer we will be documenting our adventures with both of these.

Some Ideas for Clickege

This summer will be the first summer here at Clickege, and we're wanting to put it to good use. We have several ideas we're wanting to work on this summer, and I wanted to discuss some of them here.
We're wanting to expand our anti-boredom site directory into a full blown website. Just recently, we added the ability to submit a site and this summer we want to turn the site into a directory, were sites can submit there site for free or pay to have their site listed and get added benefits. More information on that later.
We have discussed Clickege Games earlier. If you haven't heard about it, it's basically an awesome collection of games on one site. We hope to bring the best games on the internet into one place.
We have several other ideas too, but they're a little top secret now so we can't talk about them here.

Fixing the Dinosaur Part Two: The Internet

Well, as we mentioned before, we were having difficulties getting the Dinosaur to connect to the internet. At first, we worried that the wifi card in it might have been fried in an electrical storm in which it was present under its past owner.
Gladly, we found out later that this was not the case. The new operating system we had installed was having trouble accessing the wifi card was all. We just hardwired the computer into the internet with a 14 foot cord and downloaded a software modem driver that let us access the wifi card.
After about 3 hours of "patiently" waiting for the download, the wifi card was ready to use and the dinosaur was one step closer to arriving in the modern age.
Stay tuned for part three of fixing the dinosaur!
