Amen. I have this bad habit of believing that there's always one more cool little tweak that I can find to do before bedtime (the Mountaineer titlebar theme and KBFX button are good examples). And there always are tweaks to be found if you look for them. This results in many nights of "Okay, at 1:30, I'm going to bed...nifty! I'm going to install that..Okay, at 1:45, I'm going to bed...Wow, that's cool! Wonder how it would work on my system?...Okay, at 2:05, I'm going to bed...hey...I didn't know you could do that!, etc.

I do that a lot less than I used to, but you perfectly describe many an evening for me.

Well, it might be because I just got Mepis 3.4, and I always have to go through and see what all the new apps do. The other night, I spent hours reorganizing my music collection with Amarok. Also, as I said, have done a lot of tweaking on the GUI with kbfx and mtaskbar, which both make things look very cool. And, I'm starting to play around with Kino a little to edit videos. There's enough software there to keep me busy for months.
