When i was a sysadmin, I would have 30+ windows open at any one time.

Right now, I have 12 windows open. My minimum is at least 7:

2 wondows to 2 different pines for work/home email.
3 windows tailing access_logs for the 3 domains i host that actually matter.
1 tailing /var/log/maillog on my mail server
1 tailing /var/log/messages on my shell server

There used to be several more opened by habit, but then i got cvs-mode over ssh working correctly in Xemacs, so those are gone now...

• Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
• Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:

  <code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>

• Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
• Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
