Productivity Killer

Sunday, September 21st, 2008

I’m working on a larger project this weekend. The deadline is on Monday and I’m mostly ready, but there are some rough edges that need to be sorted out. Tonight was productive, things came along nicely. I was happy. Until 30 minutes past midnight. At 0:30 the window decorations of my text editor disappeared. The window was maximized and I could not resize or move the window. After two hours of messing around with Compiz settings and shortcuts, I finally found the solution: The editor was set to full screen mode. Pressing F11 solved this issue. My productivity is gone by now, of course, and I’m behind schedule again. Next time something like this happens I’ll switch to vim immediately. And: Yes, I know. This wouldn’t have happened with Emacs…
