on both Chrome and Chromium.

The Caps-Lock indicator flashes when it freezes.

Turning off Sync seems work.

NTFS mobile drive dies ...

After NTFS error message shown on Ubuntu 9.10 when plugin in the mobile drive, I follow its instruction.

Use
chkdsk /f
under windows

It detects lots of file errors and just die, Windows still can not see the drive.

I wonder this command actually does break my files since the implementation to access NTFS file system under Linux might (must) be different from Windows.

Switching back to Ubuntu, all files on the drive seems corrupted (partial images, I/O error)

Evil!

[Update]
Recovered most files after doing nothing but wait for one day, still some files lost.
Strange thing to me is those partial files come back as full files.

Life Saved by Openoffice Backup

Tried photorec, ddrescue without success, finally saved by ~/.openoffice.org/3/user/backup

Lesson is never leave file residing on external drive opened when the drive goes to unattached.

In reference to http://groups.google.com/group/google-appengine-python/browse_thread/thread/92583bea0395c57a?pli=1
I can use
sudo easy_install-2.6 pyopenssl
to install and use SSL (import ssl) for Python2.6. But
sudo easy_install-2.5 pyopenssl
seems installation successfully but import ssl fails.

I compiled ssl module from source at http://pypi.python.org/pypi/ssl/ with
sudo apt-get install libbluetooth-dev
to fix the missing bluetooth.h header
and it finally works.
