Work from anywhere

I have moved into my new space today – there is still some work to be done to finish it but is is perfectly useable. Michael has done an excellent job.

I now have somewhere to retreat to to complete my dissertation now that the University Library remains closed to me here in Lincoln. (Photos here and here of the views from Lincoln University library.)

For security only the seat, kettle, offices odds and ends and heaters remain in the shed overnight – the rest of the hi-tech stuff is my portable office so that goes.

Future plans for the “shed” include:

• Finish the decorating and hang the curtains.

• At the moment I am using the house Wi-fi. I want to get Octagon Technology to install a secure Wi-fi router/access point and VPN. As part of the build I had the electrician run a network cable at the same time he installed the power.

• We are going to install some off-grid 12v solar power.

I had some podcasts to listen to today as part of my dissertation – so rather than sit in the office and listen to them I took my lunch and brew kit and parked out in the countryside.

The resources for my dissertation are kept in our company SharePoint so I can get to them anywhere on any device. It gives me an opportunity to work in those gaps between my jobs – using my company credentials rather than my university ones.
