Always 'safely remove' your USB drive

After you're done working with your disk-on-key, if you're using Windows, always use the 'safely remove hardware' wizard.

If you fail to do so you may loose all your data on the disk - especially if you've just finished writing on it.

Turn your computer into alarm clock

If you are running windows you can use your computer as an alarm clock which will start playing music on the selected time.

To do that, go to 'scheduled task' window (accessories -> system tools), add a new scheduled task, and when prompted to select the program to run, select instead an mp3 song or a playlist you'd like to be played. Then just select the time and you're all set!
