When I log in, ~/.xinitrc starts Gnus unplugged. I get up in the morning. I turn on the laptop. I log in. I wait for Gnus to start. I go plugged. I fetch news. I have breakfast and take a shower. I go back to the laptop and get new mail and fetch news once more, just for the heck of it. I do something for a minute. I go back to the laptop, go unplugged, hibernate the laptop, put it in my backpack. I go to the trainstation. In the train, I wake up the laptop, read mail in unplugged mode and answer it and so on. At the end of the train ride, I shut down the laptop. In the office, I put the laptop into the docking station and turn it on. (I had shut it down before because Linux doesn't like to wake up in the docking station for various reasons.) I log in. I wait for Gnus to appear. I plug it. I send queued messages. I work. In the evening, it's ``same procedure as every year, James''. -- ~/.signature
