You could just keep your resume in the same spot and look for it there when you need it :-)

But really, a locate command that spans multiple machines is a good idea. It would come in handy for me. Pretty simple idea, take the locate program and add an additional field to show which machine the file lives on. The hard part is going to be deciding how you want to store that info. The searches will need to run on multiple machines, so you'll either need a daemon running on each, or else code a way to login and scan or maybe scan only the available shares.

Then you have to decide whether you want to propagate that info to each machine so you can run a search from any machine, or you could store all the results in a single database on one machine. Maybe put a cgi front end on it so you could use a browser on any machine and query for your file.

Now you're going to a known location to find something. It may just be easier to put your resume in one location and go back to look for it there when you need it :-)
