Hacker News addiction and taking simple mundane breaks in life

    I have had some pet projects in my notebooks for years. I made the mistake of moving to the boondocks, where people seem to extend their fear of "over the river and through the woods" even to electronic communication, which is the best way NOT to collaborate on new ideas.

    I joined HN, besides lurking, to build "cred" and to improve my communication skills.

    I honestly use an auto-pager to save each day's entire HN in a SeaMonkey composer page. As I rapidly page through, some items stand out, and I read them on the spot and save as pdf's.

    Any big ones I miss show up on "best" [0]

    I am an infovore, and this limits my HN time. Like an addict treating themself. I am still mostly sane.

    New developments I find WILL make their way into those ideas, or I'll just hand them to my son in law.
