Over a month has passed since the move back to the home office. Now I remember why I went and moved into an office in the first place. The one big positive about the office is that it isolates you from your own reality. At home it is always easy to find things to waste the better part of a day.

Another problem with the home office, is the proximity to coffee. This for many is normal and a required part of the day. The problem is normal coffee bores me. What I crave is espresso and café latté. These urges in can be easily controlled by cost and access. Walking to the coffee shop and dropping four dollars for a coffee will slow down your consumption. The problem at home is temperance.

Day one back home, I pulled the old Krups espresso machine out and within three days I had a habit. Within the month I burnt the machine out. A week of de-tox has sent me straight to Amazon and the ordering of a new Moka Express. I will miss the frothy steamed milk, but damn I need that caffeine.

After a year of sharing space with the Betatron guys we are leaving the office.

Updated my Mint install earlier this week, only to find it to break (and break a lot of things). I thought we had things working, but no. Besides reeking havoc with its own database, the Bird Feeder and its associated WP plugins (not created by Shaun Inman) have done some damage to the WordPress db and the feed.
