Beauty #We ascribe beauty to that which is simple;
which has no superfluous parts;
which exactly answers its end;
which stands related to all things;
which is the mean of many extremes.
- Ralph Waldo Emerson in The Conduct of Life, Chapter VIII, Beauty

Change Palm user name #Palm has instructions (for now) on how to Change or delete your device's User Name. They recommend using Tools > Users > Rename inside of Palm Desktop for changing the user name. If you don't have access to Palm Desktop, you can change the Palm OS username on the device directly with Collin Mulliner's ChangeName.

Find the latest 100 changed files #"Last Changed Files finds the 100 recent changed files on your hard disk or within multiple subdirectories ... takes less than 30 seconds to scan 200 GB." Especially love the following blurb, which could well have been lifted virtually verbatim from our FAQ:
- doesn't require runtimes
- doesn't require installation
- doesn't write to the registry
- doesn't modify files outside of its own directories
- isn't adware

Installing Windows XP on a Sony VAIO laptop with SATA hard drive #Attempting to install Windows XP from CD-ROM onto a Sony VAIO PCG-3B2L (VGN-FW140E) laptop failed due to XP's lack of SATA drivers. Yes, there are guides like Install Windows XP on SATA without a Floppy which generally recommend using nLite to master a new Windows XP CD with the SATA drivers slipstreamed in. As that seemed like far too much effort, I downloaded the SATA driver from Sony, copied it to a floppy, and inserted it into an IBM USB floppy drive. Unfortunately, the Windows installer did not seem to recognize the drive. Options in the BIOS (F2 to access) were slim; on a hunch I enabled "External Device Boot" and restarted. Low and behold, the installer now recognized the drive! The final problem was which of the dozen or so listed drivers to select (turned out to be "Intel ICH9M-E/M SATA AHCI Controller" in my case).

Two passages from W. Somerset Maugham's The Razor's Edge #"Has it occurred to you that transmigration is at once an explanation and a justification of the evil of the world? If the evils we suffer are the result of sins committed in our past lives we can bear them with resignation and hope that if in this one we strive towards virtue our future lives will be less affected. But it's easy enough to bear our own evils, all we need for that is a little manliness; what's intolerable is the evil, often so unmerited in appearance, that befalls others. If you can persuade yourself that it is the inevitable result of the past you may pity, you may do what you can to alleviate, and you should, but you have no cause to be indignant."
"He is without ambition and he has no desire for fame; to become anything of a public figure would be deeply distasteful to him; and so it may be that he is satisfied to lead his chosen life and be no more than just himself. He is too modest to set himself up as an example to others; but it may be he thinks that a few uncertain souls, drawn to him like moths to a candle, will be brought in time to share his own glowing belief that ultimate satisfaction can only be found in the life of the spirit, and that by himself following with selflessness and renunciation the path of perfection he will serve as well as if he wrote books or addressed multitudes."
