Coworking

I've been working for Canonical for around four years now, and for the vast majority of that time I've worked out of a room in my house. You need to have a certain style of discipline to work effectively from home and I like to think that I have that.

More recently I've been feeling a little down about work in general. I think it is because I am insulated and tend to get a lot of information from blogs, a number of feeds, twitter, identi.ca, facebook and email lists. A lot of the information that I then get exposed to is often from the vocal minority, and this can be a little draining.

Last Friday I started spending some of my work day at the distiller lab. I have to say it has been great for my general state of mind. Today is my forth day in a row spending some time here and so far, so good.
