Geez, I haven't posted in forever. It's not that I haven't had anything to say it's just that I don't have a blogging habit and if something isn't a habit it tends not to happen on a regular basis. In any event, I will try to do better (not that anyone actually reads this).
I recently started a new gig building a Wicket app for a trucking company. It's a small company so they were up to trying newer tech like Wicket and Java 6. We also don't have to use any app servers from a giant corporation so we just use Tomcat. Anyway, I won't go on about all that crap because this isn't intended to be a tech blog. The point I'm getting to is that I'm able to telecommute two days out of the week which is an option I've never had before. Frankly I really don't mind going into work for the most part since it gets me out of the house and if I'm at home my dog will bug the shit out of me because she thinks it's fun time when I'm home. So I've taken to working at coffee shops. I move around so as not to be particularly annoying to any one coffee shop and I can get unlimited internet access at will (although this requires a little hacking in some loocations). This whole routine has taken some getting used to. I had to learn where to sit, how to sit, and how to hack my internet access when necessary (which is pretty damn easy to do). It's a pretty cool arrangement really but I would prefer to have a local working location instead (like the co-working concept). I'm able to tune out noise well enough but I just prefer having a desk to work on instead of a lap or sticky table.
