I had thought Locke was going to be the key to the whole show, that knowing more about him would solve some sort of mystery. But, now that we know his backstory, that's seeming unlikely.
I still think I would be exploring that island looking for shelter and/or the source of that mysterious transmission. Sayid was correct when he said there's a major power source keeping that transmission running, so his homemade triangulation equipment was supposed to help out. But, I can't imagine an assumedly uninhabited island could be so big that you couldn't walk around the perimeter in a couple of days.
Semi-related side note regarding TPS reports: I think that's probably just some writer giving a nod to Office Space. If you pay attention, Office Space references come up in a lot of TV shows. I was watching the season premiere of This Old House a season or two ago, and they were going to rebuild a home that had been damaged in a fire. In one scene when they were walking through the remains of the house a bright red (and obviously unburnt) stapler was placed on top of a charred desk.
