This works, but this topic needs to be better described and hopefully turned into a decent walkthrough.

Readline Init File
This is basically a steaming piece of shit that’s unusable.

How do you get a hard drive’s serial number? Is it different for SCSI vs IDE vs SATA vs SSD? What if it’s connected over USB or Firewire? What about memory sticks?

The secure erasure of data.
I’ve also heard this called “data sanitization”.
NOTE – This information IS BAD. Other methods must be used to actually securely erase hard drives, but this project was killed before I could investigate them.
NOTE – Sterilizing SSDs are a totally different topic than sterilizing hard drives. I wouldn’t trust an SSD to be securely erasable at all. For an SSD, use fire. Yes, this means that you cannot give, sell or return an SSD if it had sensitive data on it.

Aborted – This project was only ever of mild interest, as I find burning multiple sessions to be quite satisfactory. Below are some rough-ish notes.. I never actually pursued anything for this project.

2009-04-21 Update: LXTerminal and fbpanel have a clock built in which does the job nicely.
The basic idea is to call up a terminal whose title is the current date and time. Think of it this way.. I don’t need to have a clock staring me in the face all the time, so I just need to bring it up occasionally and then dismiss it, and so I don’t need to worry about fancy things like it staying updated.
