Telecommuting with Bosco
Reader and telecommuter Brad Hutchings has developed what looks like a cool (and free) telecommuting tool:
- You have a Mac, your friend runs Windows? In the room upstairs or half a world away... If you can dial a phone, you can share screens with Bosco’s Screen Share. Sometimes, showing is a lot easier than telling.
Check it out here.
Brad works from home all the time. Sounds like the ultimate telecommuter, right? Strangely enough many researchers wouldn’t count him as a telecommuter because he’s not avoiding the conventional commute to the office.
I’ve talked with other people like Brad and it’s pretty clear that if the work-at-home option somehow disappeared, they would not simply stop working. They would find other jobs and that would mean embarking on the traditional commute. In other words, their work arrangement certainly is allowing them to avoid the work commute.
For more on this squabble, check out p. 5 of my recent study, The Quiet Success: Telecommuting’s Impact on Transportation and Beyond.

I haven't been up to anything recently, but so it goes. Such is life. What can I say? Pretty much not much exciting going on to speak of. I haven't gotten much done lately, but I don't care.

I just don't have much to say recently. Such is life. I've basically been doing nothing. Basically nothing seems worth bothering with. Oh well.

Not much on my mind lately. My life's been completely boring these days. I've just been hanging out not getting anything done. So it goes.

My life's been pretty dull recently. Shrug. My mind is like a void. I haven't gotten anything done lately. I can't be bothered with anything recently.

I haven't gotten anything done today. I feel like a fog, but what can I say? I've just been letting everything wash over me lately, not that it matters. Shrug.

Not much on my mind right now, but it's not important. I've just been letting everything happen without me. I just don't have anything to say right now.

I can't be bothered with anything these days, but such is life. I don't care. So it goes. More or less nothing seems worth thinking about. I've just been hanging out waiting for something to happen, but that's how it is.
