Hot desking

Finished a bit early today, at 4. After a wee excursion to Edeka to buy veggies for the salad, time to think of Blipping

As usual my mind went off in half a dozen tangents, and I started to think about how great it is to be able to put your business onto a USB stick, take it to another part of Europe and work there all day on the terrace.

Then I realised I first started doing it in Vilnius about 1995, so it's not that new. No usb sticks back then. No Skype. But it all worked. Most days.

I do remember a certain journalist (household name, so remaining nameless) who was with me in Vilnius on a trip having a wee problem with the dial up internet connection one morning. (Yes, remember dial up). Bit of a panic, as he had a story to file and a deadline to met.

He went off to have 3 beers in the pub while considering the options, and when he got back the dial up worked right first time.

The Blip is today's hot desking arrangement.
