Or, as I frequently do, download my email before going offline
(whether on a plane, on a bus, at a site without network access,
etc).  Reading through the email offline, it's nice to have an
answer to my question without going online, especially if it's in
code known to be on the machine.  Fortunately, Django's code is
fairly clean (and the occasional unclean parts are usually
labeled with comments like "this is hackish, and needs to be
fixed"), fairly well documented, and easy to follow.

This is also why I prefer mercurial (hg) as my version-control.
Svn is nice if you're connected to your central repository all
the time, but I also like to be able to use my version-control
while I'm disconnected...yet still be able to sync up to a main
repo.  I tried git and svk, but their interfaces were too
unwieldy and the crowd was surly, however hg's interface is
fairly close to svn's so it was easy to learn and its
documentation has been good too.  Bzr holds promise, but it's
still a bit young, a bit slow, has some warts, and the
documentation is scattered across sites and versions which makes
it hard to reference.  I'll be interested to see where it is in a
year or two.
