It is the second time that I literally washed my thumbdrive… in the washing machine. I was plain lazy to check my pockets before dumping my pants into the laundry bin. It turns out that both of my thumbdrives survived! Well, I decided to blow dry it with my hair-dryer before plugging into my pc in case it shorts and burst into flames.
This incident gave me an idea. Why not a bluetooth tag stringed to my thumbdrive that is paired with my O2mini? Once the tag goes out of proximity, the phone will make some noise constantly to tell me “U left your thumb somewhere!”. I think it is a good idea since there are times i leave behind thumbdrives at my own work terminal.

Why don’t you code this? We could make a fortune from forgetful thumb drive owners.

The hardware tag is the tough part. Coding is ez.
