I'm thinking of getting a tattoo. In true geek style I was thinking of getting my GPG fingerprint tattooed on my person somewhere. Maybe just the long (16-byte) key id. I'll post here some mockups once I've created them.

Am I crazy to do this? Couldn't I think of a more imaginative thing to permanently scare myself with? Well, I figure this would represent many things that I believe in: freedom, privacy and free software, all in one little hex string. Actually, maybe I am crazy.

Finally, after several years of periodic attempts my laptop is now able to suspend to disk. In the last couple of days its been powered up and down several times without ever shutting down my applications. Not quite sure why it took so long to get this working properly. It was the finally feature that made me consider switching OSs (not seriously of course!).

Now that its working I need to find a way to easily trigger it. Perhaps in the lid closed event in /etc/acpid? For some reason gnome power manager still doesn't think that suspend is an option so I'm having to do it from the command line.
