A Red Lipstick You Can Wear Everyday

Telecommuting

Depuis que je bosse, soit environ plein d’années mais pas encore assez pour prétendre à une retraite décente avant few decades, I have always worked outside the home. I left the morning, I came home at night. The advantage is that you leave your problems on the desktop or in the studio, you spend a good evening to you, and you collect your bullshit the next day (which, barring a miracle, have managed to survive the night and be waiting for you in the morning). I'm strong enough to properly partition the work and private life, so that the trader does not upset the private sector.

But now, times are changing. And work also at the same time. And when you live at the head of the land, inevitably, send you work in a vaguely industrialized as Nantes and Rennes, it is costly to the firm that is going to offer you an apartment, hotel, meals, car, etc ... But this time it's different, the mission paying them well enough: it will be home office!

Cool: I can take MiniNamour to school, work all day at home, eat roughly correctly lunch and dinner, do not hit me the 2 hour drive from Naoned be with the familia in the evening , talk on MSN my offspring (in hotels because they tend to have Internet connections, cardboard, and videoconferencing does not), etc..

Yeah, that's cool, except for one detail: the fact that I can work from home was not at all (but not type at all) a given that we built when we chose and bought the house . It was therefore necessary to organize a solution in 48 hours and build a room to be closed for business. Hop, little setback, then he will do, the time to check the wireless password ... it's good, it works. Ah yes, there are no electrical outlets there, okay, we'll put extensions in the meantime to install real outlets. And sleeping in the office the cellar of the old aunt, it might be time to go get it, right?

And that's it:

Bureau

Well, there is still a detail to improve, but that's okay, it's bearable:

Glagla

Well, it's cool, all that OK, but me, it frightens me a little, anyway. I'm afraid to get distracted (I know), I'm worried at the idea of having the brats racket or roll into the office while I'm supposed to be mega concentrated, I wonder if I organize me know if I am disciplined enough, if my coffee consumption does not increase exponentially. Also afraid of losing contact with the ground, because I'm not really one to sit your ass in a chair all day, I need to have contact with people who later use my work (yes, I'm for participatory management, staff worker is far more pragmatic than any theorist)

short, a bit in limbo, but enthusiastic nonetheless.

What Is Perennialism In Education

Tomorrow I'll see Electricity

Finally, I hope they will play it, that one ...

them my love

I wrote recently that I was for nuclear, which, admittedly, not a technology is very popular these days, much less a opinion in the air. I will not proselytize pro-nuclear, everyone thinks what he wants.

However, I would like to understand how to do without this technology. We are told of electric cars-want-you-in-here, the number of homes equipped with all electric (hot water heating) increases visibly, so that when the thermometer violently down a bit, it verges on Apocalypse energy in Britain. How can we feed all this without increasing production, and how can we increase production without nuclear power?

Wind, solar, tidal and so on, that's fine, go on, but we also know that it is sadly inadequate. Incidentally, wind, everybody is for, but only if it is in others, you only see the appeal filed by blockages and residents' associations to limit settlements

... Continue the current average is traditional only choice I do not understand. Right now, I work for a supplier of thermal power plants. A thermal power plant, they are generators, large diesel engines that drive dynamos. But really brooms, dynamos, so super mega brooms, diesel engines. Kind, it consumes 5 tonnes of diesel per hour, the beast, or about 5900 liters / hour. Engines like that, it takes 12 to rotate the (relatively small) plant, a consumption of 71,000 liters / hour to run at full power.

71,000 liters / hour of diesel!

I think that's unconsciousness continue like that, quite simply. Besides the fact that has much longer to take advantage of our oil discharges into the atmosphere of this animal pollute the immediate environment of the residents of this facility. It's a shame, it is intended to be implanted in some of the most guns on the planet. The inhabitants of these areas can now enjoy all the different flavors of exhaust gases. And in addition to pollute the surrounding environment, be generous, it also pollutes the environment itself.

So, obviously, nuclear = dangerous disposable waste, we should bury it in concrete things we know in advance moderately reliable. But you think the current waste of thermal power plants or coal is recoverable? Ah yes, the form of sulfur, acid rain ... This is obviously not a reason, but all technologies have their counterparts, more or less blameless. Hey, someone concerned about the pollution that causes extraction of lithium to manufacture batteries for electric cars, so-called green cars? Or that caused by the manufacture of solar panels, the Eldorado production sustainable?

  • pollution in manufacturing: some studies claim that the energy used to manufacture the cells [solar panels] is never pay for itself during the 20 years of production,
  • The same end of life [between 20 and 25]: the cell recycling poses environmental problems.

71,000 l / h . Since I calculated this figure maddening, I special affection for enriched uranium.

Expand the storage capacity of the HTC Shift

My little HTC Shift myself now for the job. With him, I'm just obviously making Word, Excel's short, the typical office. Make a schedule using MS Project would also be technically possible but would be tedious reading on its 7-inch screen. With its

data connection, I can access almost all my usual sites and thus bypass the blockages that my idiot box has imposed.

The problem I have now that I use for work is that its memory capacity becomes limited. Which was broadly acceptable to a PC booster becomes disabling in the workplace.

a solution I'm looking to scrape a few extra gigabytes without getting into an open-heart surgery to replace the hard disk. I think point me to a very simple solution, like USB or SD card to 32 GB, combined with an external hard drive pocket. Why the mixed solution?

  1. First, because the Shift is a portable machine, and I want to leave this feature and do not clutter with an additional device. Already it is almost mandatory lugging the charger will work for more than 2 hours ...
  2. secondly, because an external hard drive constantly plugged in would necessarily require an external power supply, the shift is not capable of providing enough electricity to such a device. This would be another gadget to carry around more. However, nothing prevents using such a disk drive only for storage, archiving, once back at home.

So if someone comes along and has an idea of brands to use, leak, or other configuration to propose I'm all ears.
