Linux Power Consumption

Intel has created powertop [www.linuxpowertop.org], a power consumption watch utilitiy that work very similar to `top` program but this is to watch processes that takes much of your laptop battery life.

In Debian unstable I could just apt-get install powertop to use it. It also has the ability to give many (useful?) suggestions how to save my power. After implement some of them, I get to save a few watts and extends my battery life.

What's also interesting to me, I've learn that accessing gmail from firefox seems to contribute a lot to my laptop power consumption. Heavy javascripts? Don't know, but this may results of me not standing by gmail all the time from now on.

GNOME Online Desktop Project

An interesting project.
I think it suits me quite well.

Considering that I spent most of my computing time nowadays through a Web Browser (for all my application needs) and a Terminal (for programming and quick and dirty work).

Next Step Plan

Your list of things TODO, is actually a list of things you _cannot_ / _will-not_ do.

Not until you actually plan what needs to be done for each of the mumble-mumble you identify as "TODO".
