For reading and organising my email I use mutt. In the past I have used mail.app for
a while, but it had to much problems for me. Using mutt however I had one
little irritation. Saving email to my next and waiting for mailboxes
was cumbersome. It takes to much keypresses or hard to remember key short cuts.
The simple solution I came up with was to make symbolic links in my Maildir. I.e.
ln -s .next .n, which allows me to type the command
s=n in mutt instead of s=next.
So what do I gain by that: With approximately 3 emails a day to file
this way, I save 1095 keypresses per year. With an average life expectation
of around 75 and an current age of 29 I save 50370 keypresses in my life. Being able
to type with around 200 keypresses per minute I save 4 hour, 11 minutes
and 51 seconds.

On the 27th of April I went from Enschede to Veendam, where my parents
live, by bike. I wanted to do that since I live in
Enschede, but it was never the right moment or time.
But last week it was, so
I started at 9:11 in Enschede and arrived at 17:02 in Veendam.
I started with a 30km in 2 hours schedule in mind. Cycling for 1.5 hour and than
a half hour rest. Not a very fast schedule, but the intention was to get
there, not to set a very fast speed record. I stayed on this 30km in 2 hour
schedule, but I made 3 more stops than planned. All my stops where shorter
than the planned 30 minutes.
The statistics
Total distance: 127.78km
Average cycling speed: 20.86 km/h
Maximum cycling speed: 42.40 km/h
Total cycling time: 6h 07m
Total time: 7h 51m
