Copying/cutting and pasting is a big deal for me in computing (doing work in computers). It helps me do more with less effort.
But only today, I've realized a very amusing thing about this "habit": I've always kept to mind that I have copied something in my clipboard (an abstract term in computing; it's a place where your copied/cut text or image in the computer goes into), making sure that I have already pasted it where I should before copying/cutting another item. I somehow am always careful not to overwrite what I have placed in the clipboard before I use it.
It's a bit weird being that I already have Ditto* installed, a free clipboard management(?) software that helps me keep several items in my clipboard, even after system reboot. I suspect though, that Ditto is a culprit. Because being that it keeps clipboard items in 10 places which I could "access" by using hotkeys/shortcut keys, I have always kept track of what I copied, being aware of the order in which they have been copied :'o (for example, you could use Ctrl+1 for the last item copied, Ctrl+2 for the one before that, etc...)
Weird.
I'm realizing bit by bit that I'm integrating with this computer more and more into my own system. The Matrix has me.
:'o

*Beyond the last 10 items copied into the clipboard that could be pasted on a selected place via hotkeys/shortcut keys, Ditto could keep thousands of copied items in it. And it's searchable.

Future car fuels
I just saw yesterday early morning the third episode in the 4-part FutureCar series on Discovery Channel.
Wow. I'm really excited about the developments in this field in the automotive industry (and in power generation in general).
Ethanol, biodiesel, solar, water, hydrogen, pure electricity, even air! All of you should see that. Although I've read on autobloggreen.com that there were a lot of inaccuracies in the show, it's still thought-provoking and should start discussion and more action and support towards environment-friendly -- and cheaper -- technologies. Here in the Philippines, I'm not sure how "good" we will be in adopting those technologies. At the moment, I reckon even the term "hybrid car" is alien to car enthusiasts here. And I'm not a car enthusiast, just a techie. (Though if I'm having a car, I'd prefer one that doesn't run on fossil fuel. At the moment I'm eyeing the hybrid Toyota Prius =')
It's a great leap towards a clean environment. Maybe even a step towards a future where money doesn't hold the value it does now. I mean, air and solar power is free. When we don't pay for our car fuels anymore, what else would we not be paying for in the future?
