Trance Enhanced
Been feeling a little sluggish when it comes to coding
lately.
Yesterday I put on my headphones and tuned into XTC Radio. I think I
got the most
coding done since a long time. I got a lot accomplished.
It's a nice
feeling.
Telecommuting
The building that our offices are in are scheduled to be
torn down to
make room for a parking lot. A few months ago, I moved my
workstation
home and built an office for myself. It's been a great
couple months of
telecommuting. Waking up, grabbing coffee on the way to the
desk and
waking up mid-code is great. Sometimes you shower early,
sometimes you
stay in your pijamas until, well, until the next day. This
has the
strange side effect of causing you to doubt yourself when
you go
outdoors. Today, on the way to the mailbox I had to look
down at myself
to make sure I was clothed appropriately.
I've secured a desk at the offices of a local fiber
wholesaler and will
be moving there in a few weeks. Working at home was really
nice, but it
will also be nice to be around lots of tech and people to
talk geek to.
It will also be nice to know that when I'm at home, I'm on
my own time.
The line between working and having a personal life seems to
get blurred
when the 'office' is only a few steps away.

I took a series of screenshots today. I run enlightenment
here with
dual head display. I have 3 virtual desktops, 2 displays
wide. I took a shot of all 3 virtuals, joined them together
to make one huge screenshot that is a pretty good view of
how my desktop
looks in full swing (trance enhanced). The final result is
a 2560x3076
jpeg, which
can be seen here: Screenshot
Just a little side note... I can't multiply numbers like
that in my
head. And since I'm typing this in Vim and will transfer it
in a bit, I
typed this at the Vim command prompt:
:r! perl -e 'print 2560*3076;'
I don't know. It's the little things. :)

fxn: MyAdvogato is way cool. I installed
it. Very nice. I think advogato should adopt that view.
It packs a lot of info in a small space.
