5/5     Does anyone know how to do custom install of Ubuntu 10.04? I can't
        even boot it up to give me the menu to custom install and it
        keeps installing a bunch of crap I don't need. It's getting
        just as slow and bloated as Winblows install. Dear lord,
        I miss the old Ubuntu.

1/22    looking to buy a new development laptop

11/11   lolz, in Winblows, when I move a huge directory to another directory,
        it would usually go half way before asking "This is a read only
        file, you sure you want to move it?" and 2 hours later I come back
        and have to click "Yes." Is there a better way to move Winblows
        files (without having that stupid prompt)?

10/16   Google demolishes analyst estimates.  Still holds $14B in cash.

2/6     Our parent company is considering forbidding us from taking laptops
        off the premises due to possible src code loss.  Considering that
        many of us work from home the majority of the time, this does not
        sit well.  We need to come up with a proposal for keeping the
        src (or entire disk) on an encyrpted drive.  I used PGP desktop
        a while back but never did any disk intensive activity (eg compilation)

7/29    If I use my own personal notebook at a company, airport, etc. or at
        someone's house going through their networks, how
