I said it before in a variety of contexts, but the amount of work that Linux

It was fine, thanks for asking. There's some problem with the lights in the
new place and I can't (yet) be bothered to do something about it. It causes
no inconvenience, so I need a prod. The view is worse, but it's not a big

need to use the elevator -- a therein lies the saving of one hour per month.
