    This is a foreign concept to me. Why would you even need to take it? My computers run just fine on their own whether I'm in the same state with them or not. Which leads me to my entry.

    You know when you take the time to learn scripting so you can administer it remotely and set it to start/stop projects on its own.

    I wrote a script to keep all tasks suspended except (No. of cores)+1. After a task completes it resumes another one. That way I don't get 10 tasks partially completed. It's good for challenges to make sure as many tasks get completed on time as possible rather than wasting time on tasks that won't complete.

    I take the lappy because I like having a computer with me when I travel to keep up with email, do work, etc...

    Heat drops by 3 degrees in office, you know the GPU ran out of work.

    When you think about how to maximize crunching power for every person that asks you a computer question.

    Christmas list is all PSU's, GPU's, cases and motherboards.

    Work, say no more. That's something I don't take with me.
