Should I do a podcast?

    Should I do a podcast? I'm not sure I have anything interesting to say. Andrew said he might be interested in helping out. Would people listen in?

    So, tell me. Would you be interested in hearing from two Australian geeks, one who hacks Windows code by day and Linux code by night, and the other who is a Debian developer who deals with commercial security products when he has to? We're helping run the coolest Linux conference in the universe, which would help us get some content to bootstrap with.

    Let me know your thoughts.

Further impossibility of work in a cubicle

    Chris refers to comments by Steven related to my comments about it being impossible to work in a cubicle environment. I've been noticing in the last few days that the situation is getting worse. I regularly wear headphones when I am working, which is apparently a signal not to disturb someone, and people just escalate the pain.

    They knock on the desk. The cubicle walls. Me. They throw foam balls at my monitors (as in most cubicles my back faces the oncoming horde).

    Ignoring them just makes them more intrusive.

    I think the difference is that Chris works with a relatively small number of talented, relatively considerate people. Whilst I work with a bunch of people who honestly believe that what they want to talk to me about is the most important thing in the entire universe. I'm seriously considering working from home again. At least that way I can hopefully get some stuff done, and that's with a two year old and a three year old at my feet.
