I got a new laptop for my birthday this year (in preperation for college) and it ended up being used as the programing laptop eveon though i was the project coordinator and helped the mechanical team. On Vista theres a gadget which looks like sticky notes which the programing team and i kept regular conversations over. here are a few that i remember.
~Programer~
To do list:
get linux
~me~
To do list:
kill b____
(i quite thoroughly enjoy my vista system and one of the programers feels the need to constantly talk about linux which anoys me greatly)

When we were at our practice competition this week we managed to short out the surface mounting fuse on our CRio resulting in our robot never being tested before ship. Needless to say our whole team was terribly disappointed so late at night (this seems to be a reoccurring trend with me) i wrote this on 10 seperate sticky notes (the max that the gadget will allow).
~me~: REMEMBER: Robotics isn't the only thing in the world... its just the only thing that you've cared about for the past 6-9 weeks and also happens to have made you compromise morals, push back other projects, reject schoolwork, and alienate friends... so just take a deep breath, put down the 7/16 drill bit you were about to drive into your skull and be happy we have a robot and learned a lot while building it
