Halving the workload
22:58 Monday 12 Nov 07
Firefox does not fill the screen. There is always a slice down the left for irc and IM. Everything else is piled in the same place as Firefox and tabs are what I do. Downstairs the monitor could open about 10 tabs and stay single row (I really dislike tabs that scroll off the screen. Multi-rows here all the way). So I’d ctrl-click 10 tickets, work my way through, close them all except the first, reload, repeat. The view I have shows 50 tickets at once, so if I saw 50 tickets that would be five ‘goes’ (I think the default view was 20 tickets, but then having 50 to do meant over 2 pages of tickets and that makes it seem so much more even though it’s the same). Now I’m upstairs I can use the larger monitor – and it can open 21 tickets without breaking to the next row. So I still open until the screen is full of tabs, and I still work my way along, close, reload, repeat but I’m doing it so much less. And it feels like less work. Which is good.
