The day started with a networking meeting with Kate Twigg, from Chattertons Solicitors. We talked about our businesses and how we help people with problems as well other less work related subjects. Kate offered me some help about a will. I gave her some ideas on how to enjoy real coffee when camping.

I then went on to help Guitar George with a problem on his computer.

Skull electric guitar - Guitar George

Whilst at George’s he showed me the guitar above. He has made this as a display guitar for advertising – however if you are into heavy metal he could be persuaded to sell. The guitar includes flashing LEDs between the frets and a hard wearing finish on the body.

Today’s photo is for an article Kamila is writing for Octagon about the way we are a company that fully embraces remote and home working.

Home working and remote working Octagon Technology Lincolnshire

The shot was not staged. I had stopped off in Octagon’s current favourite wifi cafe to write up some notes in Microsoft OneNote on my iPod Touch. Once synchronised other members of the Octagon team can quickly be using my notes.

Being able to work where ever I am is good for my time management. I can work on and share files in the cloud between meetings and appointments without wasting time travelling back to a fixed office.

Battery life

When working on the road, keeping things charged is always a priority. By using my iPod Touch it saves the battery life of my iPhone and iPad. The owners of this cafe have allowed me charge my phone whilst having lunch.

At Octagon we are helping our clients to take advantage of the benefits of home and remote working, saving money and creating a happy teams.
