Fortune file of UI tips

After doing lots of reading on user interface design a few quarters back, I wound up with lots of note cards with quotes for the final paper I had to write for the course.  Knowing that I was sure to lose the cards, it seemed like a good idea to put them all in a text file.  About the same time, I ran across some instructions for creating your own fortune files.  Perfect.  Here’s the text file formatted and ready to run strfile on (strfile ui-tips) and the .dat file if you can’t be bothered running strfile.  Copy the files to /usr/share/games/fortune and they will show up, eventually, in a fortune output.
