That's probably the difference between us. I can't currently work, so my main
workstation goes on sometime early in the morning and stays on till I go to bed
late in the evening. I'm often in front of it, unless I am reading or watching
the far-too-much content Myth has recorded for me.
Current habits: boot up, log on to Mythweb. This proves the MBE is still running
- a single failure so far since I upgraded to 0.21. Check recent recordings ok,
check upcoming recordings, check today's TV guide in case something has been
slipped in without my noticing, decide if there's anything I ought to watch today.
After that, it's check the firewall for odd happenings, see if there's any more
of China I can block. Then it's off to the cartoons, various blogs, ending up at
Slashdot. Time for lunch. Did I mention I'm a geek?
