and what will this get you that you do not already have? I am ignorant in this as I don't have an ipod and the files from itunes will not work with my palm pilot.

I find that if I sit back I can find time during the day I'm not using for anything.

currently I've been doing a lot of walking around the 4 mile ring here at the lab. What I've done is gotten a subscription to www.audible.com and am listening to audio books. its not exactly cheap, but hey you are getting a new job making the big bucks... so you can afford it.

Dan,

I think it comes down to moderation. I only spend about 4 nights a week staying up late, the other 3 nights I get plenty of sleep. If I don't do this I start having problems with clumsiness. There's a very brilliant physicist at the lab that I talk to every now and then and he says that after 30 years of research he's figured out that 4 hours a night for him is optimal.

Nova20,

I too am balancing a 50 hour work week with taking classes at night. It is a lot to deal with. The main thing I have figured out is that no matter how busy life is I have to force myself to take an hour or 2 every couple of days just to do something that I enjoy. This can involve everything from playing video games to riding my bike. If I don't do this I get to the same point you are at where you feel like life is running you instead of the other way around. It does agrivate some people when I tell them I'm dropping what ever it is I'm doing to go do something I enjoy but it seems the only way to stay sane.



P.S dan, your authorization code is annoying.

Nice post, As I slowly drift into this life that you fear I to fear as well. I've come to a sort of way around some of it, I put the wife to bed about 11 and then I stay up until 2 or 3 am just working on stuff that I want to tinker with. it took a while to get use to 4 or 5 hours of sleep a night, but I think I've gotten use to it now. I'm actually looking forward to moving into a house of my own so if I break something its mine, I can make a mess with computer parts and stuff and no one complains.

scary thing is that that "handful" of fundimentalists currently makes up the voterbase that is best organized when it comes to elections and putting people in power. Additionally they tend to be vocal with thier dollars as well.<!-- X-spaminator-strike: whitelist, -3 --><!-- X-spaminator-passed: IP check --><!-- X-spaminator-passed: email check --><!-- X-spaminator-passed: author url --><!-- X-spaminator-passed: comment body -->

I always thought the X windows way of copying and pasting was the easiest to use... Highlight and then just middle click the mouse button. No keystrokes/menu's involved.

I believe this has come about due to his frustration as with FIDE and thier handling of the unification match. Its not a total loss, as he will continue to write books, give exibitions and if rumor is right he's going to begin training others.
