My new environment is setup and it’s so horrible. I’ve got everything I need working so far as I can tell but there are places where colours are not what I am used to and the Gnus->mutt transition is a HUGE step down. Urgh. Bitstream Vera within Emacs is being hinted all wrong, and it almost hurts my eyes.

What’s worse are the three tasks that remain: sort out my Mutt address book (have no idea how to do that right now), massively strip down Emacs, and then duplicate this setup on my laptop.

But this is the point. I’m using this as an opportunity to reshape my habits. I’m robbing myself of a certain degree of efficiency which will make me uncomfortable here and remind me that I probably shouldn’t be at the computer as much as I am. For the next week or so my laptop will remain on CRUX so I won’t have to suffer this discomfort all the time.
