Hey, this is a fun question. What's my rut?
- Get out of bed.
- Grab coffee.
- Wake up.
- Read my email - dedicated lurker on these lists:
- SPUG (Seattle Perl User Group)
- HTML::Template list
- Python-Tutor
- Ruby-Talk
- Seattle.Rb (Seattle Ruby Brigade)
- Raindogs (more or less Tom Waits stuff, because I don't want all of my email to be about programming)
- Get more coffee
- Log in to Perlmonks, lose an hour.
- Get more coffee
- Look at clock, panic, go to work.
- Work, play, work (perl, perlmonks, perl)
If I can't perform my morning rituals, I become irritable and cranky. People get hurt. The danger can be reduced a little bit if I read a bit of some random computer book off my shelf while riding the bus to work.
