Context switching is an overhead that seems easier to live with than fight. Try less context switches in a day, rather than optimising the time between switching. Taking on too many concurrent projects inevitably leads to burn out...

Not sure if anyone noticed, but according to the "login.js" snippet, Steam removes all non-standard ascii characters from the password, before encrypting it... Doesn't that essentially reduce the password's strength? Esp
