Recently, I stumbled across Camino, which uses the same rendering engine as Firefox, which means that my 2 favorite keyboard shortcuts work. Conversely, one of the things I hate about Firefox are all the plug-ins! I tend to find useful plug-ins and add them, which adds to the weight (and start up time) for the whole browser. I maintain a love/hate relationship because one of the cool things about Firefox is all the plug-ins available. This added to the spacebar to scroll down and shift-spacebar to scroll up and you can get a lot done in a browser without a mouse. I've found my address and never taken my fingers off the home row. From there, I can hit the slash key and start typing 'London'. In my new mouseless browsing mode, I go to the home page, hit the apostrophe and start typing 'contact', hit enter and now I'm on the contact page. How many times do you go to a web site and you know the name of the link you want already? For example, if I need to go to the ThoughtWorks web site to get the address of the London location (this happened earlier today), I know (or can guess) that there is a 'Contact' link on the home page, which takes me to a list of offices. The apostrophe does something similar, but it restricts the matches to URLs only. When looking at a web page, the slash starts an incremental find for text within the page. I love the keyboard affordances it provides, especially the slash ('/') and apostrophe (''') shortcuts. One of my recent tendencies is mouseless browsing. Consequently, after The Productive Programmer came out, I continue to find new ways to make myself more productive.

After it's off to the publisher, you can't turn off your interest in the subject. Once you write a book, you become really immersed in the subject matter.
