Nothing stands still. The real question is can you change it?

I find that getting something on the screen as soon as possible really helps focus the problem for me. It helps me decide what to work on next. Because if you're just looking at that big to-do list it's like, eh, I don't know which one I should do—does it matter which one I do? But if there's something you can actually look at, even if it's just the debug output of your mailbox parser, it's like, OK, there!

To a database person, every nail looks like a thumb. Or something like that.

You can always affect things - so can you change it in a way that will make you as happy with it in the future as you were in the past? Maybe it won't be the same, but it might be something else you also like.

Mostly I use the O2 as an X terminal, however, running my apps on Linux and displaying remotely.

And when the time comes to replace the O2 I have today, maybe my next machine will run Linux.
