Just found a reference to this product at barrapunto.com. It’s a 3GB microdrive in a “big usb cracker”kind of form factor. (Not solid state, it does have moving parts I understand.) It comes with Ubuntu linux preinstalled with Office suite/web browser, all the trimings. It will boot on PC’s that support booting from USB. Of course any changes are saved to the micro drive itself, and no touches are made to the computer systems internal drive. It’s about 35 grams, the size of a square lighter and is selling for 135 Euros.

Google as a tool for crackers
Google is a search tool which I use literally every day. Sometimes it’s multiple times per day. Sometimes I can’t imagine how I would function without being able to do a quick google search. There are some features that I don’t often use and in some ways have promised myself to use more in an attempt to hone in on just that piece of information I’m looking for, but those features can also be turned against a site owner.

RSS feeds
Of course, it appears that wordpress comes with support to generate rss feeds for the articles and comments listed here. I was curious to find a way to include a syndicated news feed in the site and have. So, for the main page we have Yahoo news top stories (at least for now.)

Crossroads
At this point, I doubt anyone is seeing this as the wordpress test install is not live to the public yet, but… I’m opening this one up for comments. On the old site, I had accumulated a bit of content along the lines of windows/linux tips, software recommendations and tech support tips. Most of it is stuff at this point that I’m not eager to just copy over. At some point I may include those, but looking back I see nothing that seems like a vast unknown resource.
