1. Make a directory on your desktop called DeleteIn2Weeks. In my case, the full path was /home/guytonw/Desktop/DeleteIn2Weeks
2. Create the following cron entries:
0 1 * * * find /home/guytonw/Desktop/DeleteIn2Weeks -mtime +14 -type f -exec echo Deleting {} \;
1 1 * * * find /home/guytonw/Desktop/DeleteIn2Weeks -mtime +14 -type f -exec rm {} \;

The main reason I started playing was because I did not want to buy a new laptop to play some of the newer games. One day I'll break down, but it's not necessary just yet... At any rate, it's a lot of fun playing online!

package AjaxTest;

use CGI;
use CGI::Ajax;

use Apache2::RequestRec();
use Apache2::RequestIO();
use Apache2::Const -compile => qw(OK);

sub handler {
    my ($r) = @_;

    my $cgi = new CGI;  # had this outside the handler and was getting segfaults

    # Have to redefine $0 for CGI::Ajax because it's used to call further URLs from
    # javascript ajax functions.  (otherwise it did "httpd?"...)
    local $0 = $ENV{"REQUEST_URI"};
    $0 =~ s/?.*//;

    # Start Ajax stuff
    my $pjx = new CGI::Ajax("test_ajax" => &test_ajax);
    # Don't compress javascript (1 for user fcns only, 2 for all)
    $pjx->JSDEBUG(1);
    # Send stderr to web logs
    $pjx->DEBUG(1);

    print $pjx->build_html( $cgi, &base_page);
    return Apache2::Const::OK;
}

sub base_page {
    return "Ajax mod_perl testmod_perl 2.0.2 on apache 2.2.2 rocks! <p><div id="test">Change me</div><p>nn";
}

sub test_ajax {
    my $time = time();
    return "Test successful; $time<p>";

I see that they have come out with some firmware upgrades since I last checked a week ago, and it mentions improving wireless power and performance. We'll see what happens!

• The first one is an HP that has a power cord that started fraying at the connection. If I adjust it just so and don't move, then I can get it to charge the battery and run the computer. Additionally, sometimes it overheats when I run a certain application (read: games) and just powers itself off hard.
• The second one my wife used to use, but she dropped it out of her lap last summer and the headphone and microphone jacks got destroyed when the cords tugged on the unit. The power adapter is angled now as well, but at least it works.
• The third one got its screen cracked, and I use it with an external monitor. Not good for trips, though.

I don't want to get a new laptop until one comes with wireless-N as part of the package. Hence, I wait and play old games like Diablo 2 when I am not working.

• Browser: Firefox, of course. The single biggest hole in Windows is Internet Explorer. Firefox also runs on Windows, Linux, Mac, all of which I use.
• Email: Thunderbird - there are plenty of mail programs out there, but I like this one. It also runs on Windows, Linux, and Mac.
• AntiVirus: AVG Free Edition - I have talked about ClamWin elsewhere, but this antivirus package is a little more user friendly and polished. I run ClamWin on my laptop, and AVG everywhere else.
• Office Productivity: Open Office - the latest version 2 has improved by leaps and bounds, and does most of what almost anyone would use MS Office for. Runs on Windows, Linux, Mac, Solaris, BSD, etc...
• ZIP: 7-zip - Very broad, powerful zip program. Windows and Linux.
• Instant Messaging: GAIM - this client speaks Yahoo, AOL, Microsoft, and other IM protocols, and you only have to run this one app. Runs on Windows and Linux.

Some other neat apps:

• Spyware Removal: Spybot Search and Destroy - this only runs on demand, but is great for cleaning up a PC someone else has been using.
• Windows License Key: Magical Jellybean's Keyfinder - this will find your registration key for MS windows and office. For my laptop that is about to die, I can save the key (license) so I can install XP Pro on another PC later when it dies. (Just have to get my hands on some install media) I hate how Microsoft was worked it so that you are buying a new copy of Windows with every PC. If your hardware dies, you should not have to repurchase the software!
• Video Player: VLC media player - This plays a wide variety of formats and also runs on Linux, Mac, and Windows.
• Remote Control: VNC - sure, windows remote desktop protocol is OK, but VNC runs on Mac, Windows, and Linux so I can display one desktop on any other OS.
• Hardware: PC Wizard - detailed hardware and performance scans for Windows
• Privacy: xp-AntiSpy - disble scan-and-report-to-microsoft features in XP.
