I love the idea of batching, I think I always assumed I was multitasking, but I think I may have been doing more batching, for example, I would start a compile, or run, and then jump to another piece of the puzzle and work through that, once I felt completed enough on that, I'd kick that off to run (or compile), and come back to #1, or if not done move onto #3, and on and on.

That sounds like batching to me. It's early days in the multitasking revolt, but I define batching as having "finished" a task. If a FOR loop is one of those tasks and you finish that before emailing a client or something, then that's batching.

BTW sorry for being slow on replying, I'm just starting to get into this hacker news thing ;)
