The joys of working at home, #928

[jducoeur]

Note to self: the interaction of cats and power switches can be unfortunate. I really need a new power strip, that's not quite so easy for someone chasing a ball to turn off.

(OTOH, the nice thing about using a laptop as my primary dev machine is that I didn't actually lose anything...)

I actually use superglue for this, but yes. (Superglue is fragile enough if I ever really needed to turn it off I could whack it.) We don't have cats, but we have feet and a mess of adapters under the table.

Other nice thing about laptops: "The power went out! Oh no! Oh, wait. I can still work. And hey, the neighbors have power -- I still can find a wireless network!" :)

Yeah -- this is the first time I've ever done serious work on a laptop, and it is a nice change in that respect. (I usually prefer doing serious work on desktops due to memory and disk speed.)
