After the snow yesterday, with the forecast of more overnight, it was suggested that we take laptops home last night, and work from home today.
It’s been nice to have some background music on all day, but it seems like a very long time since 8:30 this morning!! God it’s boring sat on your own all day. Work has not been to busy, mainly because many customers have stayed closed, and those that were open couldn’t always get an engineer to site!
The technology worked quite well, softphone (Nortel i2050) on the PC with a USB headset, connecting via VPN over the home wireless network and out over broadband. Voice quality was good, and network speed was almost as fast as being in the office… mind you, I think that says more about our servers than the quality of the BB connection!
The weather has actually been quite good today and a lot of the snow has cleared, but I doubt our road will be clear enough for me to take the bike tomorrow, so it looks like it will be the bus again. On the plus side – gives me another hour+ with “Children of Dune” audio book ;-)
