I worked in London in the mid 00's with someone who did this.

  - He worked 2 Days at London Office, 3 days WFH in Spain.
  - He would book his flights about 3 weeks in advance and stay in a cheap hotel for 1 night.
  - As a contractor/sole trader, he could offset some of the costs against his taxes.
If I remember correctly, his reasoning was that the combination of costs, better weather, and being close to friends/family made it worthwhile.

- you don't need the mental distraction from the real problem.

- you're always under time pressure.

- it's never a positive, if you don't know something.


I moved to consoleZ: https://github.com/cbucher/console

Its a fork of console2.

+ Adds Splitting Tabs into views

Console2 development seems to have slowed down.


I moved to ConEmu: https://code.google.com/p/conemu-maximus5/ from Console2 at work. I find that to be even more feature rich than Terminator for Linux which I use at home.


How about just showing them in the best or bestcomments list page or creating a new list page that shows them?
