If you are looking for links that I mentioned on the podcast then you have come to the right place. If you are looking for the podcast you can download it here, episode 27. If, however you are looking for the your keys they are probably at the last place you left them. Yes, well, as promised I have the links for you that I mentioned on the show. They are below and in the order that I mentioned them. Oh, BTW, there is a slight Freudian slip in the podcast. Let me know if you found it. I left it in there to have a little fun. Cheers!!!

time cat
This is a perfect command to time how ling it take a browser to load a web page, or how long it might take to download a file. Better yet, you can time yourself taking a bathroom break then getting a sandwich and eventually back to your computer. Can you think of anything better to do with your time?

harlem, good to have you back! i enjoyed the latest show alot; thanks for the links...
idea: a segment on changing os boot-ups... my wife still uses xp, but ubuntu was configured to start up automatically. since i'm at work in the day, she wanted xp to start up instead. i figured it out already, but thought it might be of interest to others, too.
keep up the great work and i look forward to your next show.
