Backups and Contact Info For Your Flash Drive

Leave a reply

I was reminded of this by Penny Arcade and some other site I read today (I forget which one). Flash drives don’t last forever. If you have anything important on your flash drive, back it up now. I backed mine up today. I have all my code from pipasoft.com on it, and a few other things – nothing I can’t live without, but still…. Another thing you should do is put a text file in the root of your drive called something like “if_found_read_this.txt” which contains contact info – just in case someone honest ever finds your flash drive. Maybe you’ll have a chance of getting it back.

Come Clean

Leave a reply

Found this today via Jimmy Jett’s Podcast About Nothing: http://comeclean.com. Make sure you have sound turned up and headphones on when you visit. It’s a site that you can “come clean” and confess your wrongdoings or you can view what others have confessed. It’s narrated by a woman with a beautiful (Indian?) accent. It’s actually a very funny site – keep an eye on the bottom too – funny things pop up there – mine said “We have received a lot of murder confessions – we hope you were kidding.”

512 MB of RAM is not enough!

This is freakin’ annoying……I have only 512MB of RAM in my work computer – a 2.6 Ghz machine, but only 512MB of RAM. I have to run 2 instances of Weblogic and 1 instance of JBoss at the same time – that means it takes like 5 minutes to compile a JSP!. AARRGGHH! Heck – I have a 1GB flash drive on my keychain but only 512 MB of memory in my work machine. Doesn’t make sense.
