That definitely is a good reason for the opportunity to WFH. Actually I'm working from home today, as my pregnant wife is coming close to her due date, she's experiencing new pains, so needs some re-assurance of someone being close by. I'm fortunate that my boss is open about this as he knows I can still achieve my daily tasks from home. I login remotely and am on phone and instant messaging (even video cam). This is not a "just because I can scenario", it's only when personal life needs attending. WFH allows me to balance both work and personal life. Teleworking for me is not a black or white thing. I like the shade of grey, where I know it's accepted if I need to WFH for a couple of days/weeks as my personal life demands I be at home. I'd like to know that we have a telework option, where our work has formally accommodated for these scenarios. I may look into asking them. As for a semi-permanent WFH scenario, well that's a more serious consideration for business to think about, and I think my post addresses some of these things. Joitske,

But you are right "drip fed" seems the right dosage. And I like the idea of a serial feeds, remember feedcycle http://libraryclips.blogsome.com/2007/02/08/feedcycle-cyclical-feeds/ From that post: "...whenever a person subscribes to your FeedCycle they will always get the first installment of content (even though currently your feed might be up to it’s 5 installment of content), in a way it is chronological ordering of content. This is a great idea for blogs where each post is a chapter in a linear type book, your blog book maybe be up to chapter 5, but whoever subscribes today will have to read chapter 1 first. Then the rest of the feed content is scheduled in set installments." Good to hear from you Tony I can’t talk because my posts are usually too long…

But what if later on I decide I don't need to get feeds from a particular site anymore, will Rmail allow me to unsubscribe from that site? Do I have to create an account on Rmail in order to do that or will it work anyway? Thanks. Pretty well documented post, thanks.
