How do YOU lock your folding bikes?

Hey everyone, I recently bought a Dahon Vitesse D7HG and am in need for some proper how-to when it comes to locking a folding bike. I'll be moving out to college next week and have been considering buying a TiGr lock for its light weight, good looks, and high strength to weight ratio. I'm sure many of you believe there's a better solution to a $165-220 titanium bike lock that may seem gimmicky, and would like to see how you lock your bike!

Sure, why buy a folding bike that you can bring indoors instead of locking it outside? As it turns out, though I can bike wherever I want given its portability, as far as I know the UF (Florida) campus doesn't allow bikes indoors. And considering I've never really seen what a bike rack looks like (probably hyper-congested) during the fall with the influx of new freshmen (myself included), I need to be able to quickly get in and get out as quickly, easily, and painlessly as possible.

So far I've contemplated folding it and somehow getting a lock around the key parts, like the frame, and wheels all in one go, but so far I haven't a clue about how I'm going to do so! So let's see those locking techniques, folded and unfolded!

Thanks
