bluebeardWork is often very slow. As such, I often pass time by playing video games. Specifically, ROMs on emulators.
When using emulators for older/simpler systems like Super Nintendo and Gameboy, you generally have the ability to assign a "speed up" button -- while that button is held, the emulator will run faster than the game calls for. Useful for getting past bad cutscenes, slow-moving puzzle artifacts and crap like that.
The downside is that I find myself trying to hit the speed-up button when the rest of my computer experience is slower than I want it to be -- loading web pages, for example.
It doesn't work.
