I've got a fever, and the only cure is cephalopods

---

The hunger gnaws at us, a relentless pressure from within. We move through the shadowy farmyard, our eyes wide and searching in the gloom. Detering spots movement - a plump hen, oblivious to the predators in its midst. We communicate without words, a silent choreography of gestures and glances.

Kat's hand darts out, swift and precise. The hen barely has time to squawk before it's muffled. In that moment, I see not my comrade but a creature perfectly adapted to this harsh world - his movements fluid, his grip sure. We retreat to the shadows, our prize secured.

As we prepare our meal, I'm struck by how natural this feels now - the stealth, the hunt, the triumphant feast. Once, such acts would have seemed foreign, even barbaric. Now, they're as natural as breathing. I wonder, as I often do, what depths we've sunk to, and how much deeper we might go before this war releases its grip on us.

I have worked from home off and on for years, and this is pretty good advice. The most important is the dedicated space with a door that closes. So you still "go to work", just with a very short commute. A few other things that I have found helpful:

  - When you're in your office, you're at work, working.
  - When you're not in your office, you're at home, not working.
  - Work in 48 minute bursts, then take a break.
  - Only check email & voice mail during your 12 minutes off.

(Aqua/E)macs deficiencies:
 - working across files (projects)
  - searching for strings in project
  - opening other files in project
  - viewing files, opened or not
 - tabs
  - cannot be reordered
  - cannot be torn off or reparented
 - vast over-use of control key
 - poor file browsing
