Pete's Log: What's on your memory stick?
Entry #1429, (Random Crap)(posted when I was 28 years old.)
I would like to test out the interactivity of this thing again. So if you're still a loyal reader, log in and comment! Here's what I want your opinions on:
I finally got around to buying myself a USB memory stick. I've wanted one for a while, but they've gotten cheap enough for impulsive buying. So now I have 2GB of storage hanging on my keychain. That's more storage than my first five computers had combined, I think.
But given this abundant portable storage, it seems reasonable to use it for more than just temporary storage. That is, I'm brainstorming about what set of files I would like to have permanently on hand. One obvious answer is utility programs. I already have a good idea of what programs are good to have on hand for windows: putty, winSCP, winzip. I also put gpg on there, though I may need to recompile it from source to be more memory stick friendly. And since it's U3-compatible, I installed a U3-packaged game, just for fun. The U3 stuff doesn't make much of a dent in the 2 GB, so I'll tolerate its presence for now, even if it is Windows-only.
So now the question to you: what's on your memory stick? Or alternatively, what utility programs can you not live without for MacOS X, Linux, or Windows?
Discuss.
