Fellow Geeks: What’s On Your Flashdrive?

https://www.nhgazette.com/2025/02/01/4jxu9aimyg These were actually all just sitting on my desk randomly.  And yes one of them is purple.  You know you're jealous.  :)We’ve all got flash drives. They’re awesome. They’re great. They are awesometastic with awesomesauce on top. But I’m curious, what do you keep on them?

I’m a big fan of bootable USB drives. In fact, although he hasn’t updated it in a while (hint hint), I think Bill Childers‘ Linux distribution “Billix” is handy to have in your pocket. But there must be other things that are perfect for a USB drive. What are some of your favorites? I’m really curious.

  1. Mostly I have pictures on my flash drive. It’s a USB key-chain, so it’s always with me. My Sony camera uses a memory card that only my Sony laptop can read, so pics first go there. Then they’re transferred to the USB drive so I can put them on any (or all) of the 3 computers at home, or take them to work. Sometimes I have time at work, and shrinking and croping gets done then. Plus, if I ever want to share them with someone else, if there’s a computer available, I can just copy them to their computer. I don’t have anything bootable, though.

  2. Mine lives in my daily commuting bag and is a backup of my harddrive plus the files I need from work for the home projects. So mostly a bunch of legal research and reference materials. It will get cleaned out the first of the year.

  3. Writing backup, including current iterations of what I’m working. In case I have a few minutes waiting at work and can crank out a few lines. Also the sneakernet files (both local and to home).
