Some other discoveries from today, which I forgot to mention...
These are all software related, and since I'm a mac user, they're all mac applications, which came via the cult of mac top 50 mac applications.

One: Caffeine - this little program sits in your menu bar doing nothing - until you click it. Then, activated, it will prevent the screensaver coming on, or the screen dimming, until you click the icon again. Perfect for watching an iPlayer or other long video.

Two: Coconut-battery - this app gives a full breakdown of not only the charge on your battery, but the battery condition relative to when you purchased your mac. A great little tool, especially on the older macs which didn't come with a battery "for life" like the new ones do.

As you can tell, today isn't the most productive.
