This Christmas break of sorts I just hid at home and watched DVDs. I finally finished watching season 1 of The Closer. I never thought I'd like it but I did. In fact I loved it. It took a while for me to figure out what the title meant haha! Its a little language barrier, I guess. Around here we don't use it as a noun :-)
They call us telecommuters. We wake up, eat breakfast and punch in. We work at home, most of the time in our pajamas haha! Our main equipment: a computer with a high-speed internet connection. Most of our communication is through e-mails, chats and sms. Yup! No annoying daily commutes, no pushing just to get on the train, no sucking up of regular pollutants and no MSG on lunch food.
It took a while for me to adjust to this kind of setup. The fact that there are no IT personnel to help me set up the softwares. Setting up shop is a very complicated thing. They tell you its easy but, really, it not haha! Anyway, I finally got settled hardware/software-speaking and now I have to deal with another major thing -- the medium shift.
Let me explain. Medium as in medium of communication. I was a graphic designer before. Graphic design deal with CMYK inks, printing press, paper stock, color separation, crop marks, etc. Now I shifted to web design and I deal with HTML, CSS, javascript, bandwidth, optimization, tags, etc. Its on the same field, its just a different medium. (I admit this is boring stuff. I'm amazed you're still reading this haha...)
The best thing about this - no annoying and gossipping officemates lurking! Yay!
I have two blogs that I've been keeping for about three years. Pinoy Pan de Sal is where I post my almost everyday me. Litratista is a photoblog. I also have a Flickr account which turned pro (thanks to Bern) and expired (thanks to me). The issue is I want to bring these three all together in one place. Like bringing together the cow, the pig and the chicken in one farmhouse so it won't be a hassle to feed them.
Today, I found VOX.
This is one of the good things I found before this year ends. I'm still exploring the features but so far I think they are great. Its a new farm... uhrm... home worth moving to. and I think I'm gonna like it here.
