I often get the question how I manage to survive my long commute time
during the week. This question is often raised when in a conversation it
becomes clear that I travel over 4 hours per day by train. In this blog
post I will try to give a small insight in how I manage this.
The first rule that I use is that if I can do something in the train I
should do it in the train and not at home. So in short this includes:
- breakfast
- Reading a book
- Reading and sending email
- Reading the latest RSS feeds
- Studying
- Sleeping
- Programming/Scripting
- Updating my todolist
- Chatting on irc (umts/grps is nice to have)
- Writing blog articles
- Talking to other passengers
- Doing some work
The second rule to follow is that if I can not do something in the train
what I can do to make sure I can do the major part of the task in
the train. This includes to make sure you have the right items packed in
your bag,
having the right files on your computer etc. The question to ask here
is: How can I make sure I can do this in the train?

Just a quick blog post about how to run a command like uptime in more than
one screen window. Just do crtl-a then
:at "#" stuff "uptime\015"
