Re: [SAGE] Keeping yourself sharp...



() Now, three weeks isn't that much time, and I'm fairly certain that 10 years
() of Unix experience isn't going to leak out of my ears in that time, but
() what would you bring to keep yourself sharp under those circumstances?
() Things you'd listen to?

Supposed that you can bring audio books and a diskman: get some
reading-aloud software, make it read your sendmail.cf, and
record that to an audio CD-R.

Seriously, enjoy your holidays.  Folks in Europe get up to 6
(six) weeks of vacation.  I usually take three weeks in a row
and never get any blunt - to the contrary, the more I can relax
without thinking of work, the better it goes when I'm back in
the office.

() Are there certain books you'd recommend?

Just in case you enjoyed the "Master and Commander" movie there
is an excellent book series by Patrick O'Brian, well suited to
being read on any Pacific island (or elsewhere for that matter).
The movie is based on about the 10th volume so you can read
quite some ones without having the plot spoiled.
