I aim for about half the day standing, half sitting. I like standing to change my energy and find it great for phone meetings. I have a pretty similar set up.

The jist of the article is that we were designed to take steps (walking or running), not to sit. I was thinking about keeping my eye on Craig's List for someone getting rid of their treadmill and marrying that to something like what you've already put together. It strikes me as eccentric, so I haven't done it yet, but if I hear from a "real person" like you that it *works*...

I had it on a bench I had build and it made me bend over just the wrong way. I ended up raising the entire lathe up with some short 4x4s and some long bolts through the bench. The change was dramatic as I could turn for days on end without getting back aches. It really does work, but you have to experiment with heights. I plan to add a standing desk into the office we are building now. I figure going back and forth from sitting to standing will be better than just one or the other.

Everything goes into one VBS file and it launches! Hint: Open VirtualBox Manager to check whether the VirtualMachine is running! :) This is much better.

]]> Comment on Projects In Sublime Text 2 by Robert Zehnder http://thecrumb.com/2012/01/24/projects-in-sublime-text-2/#comment-3385 Robert Zehnder Tue, 24 Jan 2012 15:44:51 +0000 http://thecrumb.com/?p=1806#comment-3385 I have a "project" setup with all my work folders in it, then I hide the project sidebar. I just pull up the view, controller or model I want by drilling down with Ctrl-P (much like jEdit's quick open plugin). This little feature by itself sold me and beats mucking around in nested folders trying to find something. I have a “project” setup with all my work folders in it, then I hide the project sidebar.

I seem to recall reading about it but never used it. Is ‘quick paste’ where you can quickly paste the first 10 items? I seem to recall reading about it but never used it.
