Spending your time
What I truly hate is wasting your time those things that are useless, but things that you have to do. (Makes me wonder is this bloggin useless.)
Example trips between home and work Is it really necessary to spend 1/8 of tour awaking time sitting in a car? Some times it feels that example farmers are quite lucky that they don’t have to travel to work. They can just open the door and start basically straight a way those things that are leading something useful.
Last spring I was quite lucky that one of customers where only 100 meters from home. I have to admit 100 meters is maybe too short distance. Optimally distance would be something like 2-3 km. That way you could have nice little exercise before an after work. That way you could more easily leave your work behind.
Other thing that I really hate is installing software. Currently I’m installing testing environment for BizTalk Server 2004. I stated to think what would be most painless way to do this and other future installations.
The things steps that I decided to do were:
1. Use Virtual PC:
- So that you could have multiple separate environments that are not trashing each other.
- Make some base environments that I can use for future installations.
- For future bigger projects testing a possibility share common development environments.
2. Buy fast external hardware.
- For virtual PC efficiency
- For travel with my Virtual PC:s
I will come back to this later to tell how I succeeded.
