There is something...cute...about sticking modern electronics inside a wooden case. The problem is that wood is a terrible heat conductor, so how is he going to get rid of the hot air trapped inside? Perhaps all the space inside helps or it can somehow dissipate through that carbon fiber sheet (I actually have no idea).
BTW, did you notice the brass hinges?

You mean I can go outside and not work? There is life away from my desk?
So yes, my wife is at work this morning and I'm at my desk plugging away at one of my projects. I'm also mostly a consultant so if I don't have a customer project, I'm working on one of my products.

Ditto here and I don't even have a job, but I do have a lot of various hobbies and interests to keep me busy most all the time.

I'm finishing the last chapter on my "From Imperative to Functional Programming" e-book. ![Jig | [Dance]](https://www.codeproject.com/script/Forums/Images/jig.gif)

Hmm. I could have helped you with your book. My management always thinks it's imperative that my programming is functional yesterday.
Thank you, thank you, I'm here all week. Try the veal, it's to die for.

Excellent - if you don't mind, I'll put that quote in the introduction, with due credit of course!

Feel free. I don't think I've ever been cited before, other than by the local highway patrol.

Well, I work as a consultant, so there's always something to do (so I can pay the bills, fortunately!). However, I'm also a grad student trying to finish my dissertation, so there's always something to do on that, as well.
So, in summary, I have no life and even when I do, I still don't.

I have had a Saturday job for over 4 years now at a self storage facility. Most of the time I'm on their clock, I am writing code for my real job. (self-employed) I started the Saturday job in order to curb the golf habit.

I'm a contractor as well and I work most weekends...not this one though...got a long week coming up.
And, it's like someone said up-thread...they dump a lot of stuff Friday afternoon and want it Monday morning...that happens to me...A. Lot.
I work from home, so I never really leave work...but at least I don't have to commute

But as a consultant you get to charge for it.
As an employee, I'm simply expected to put in the hours at crunch time no matter what. I've never had a dev job that paid overtime, nor have I heard of such a thing from my peers.

This is true; however, the dark side is that you cannot or it is difficult to say no.
I have worked at places that did pay straight time (long ago).

It already exists:
<iframe src="http://www.codeproject.com/members/flair/yourMemberIdHere" height="200" width="300" scrolling="no" frameborder="no"></iframe>
Because your Member ID is 8663811 , your flair is http://www.codeproject.com/members/flair/8663811[^]

I think you need to watch the movie "Office Space" and then wear as many flairs as you can.

As some of you may recall I posted just before Christmas that I was moving platforms after being in the first field for 21 years.
Well, I arrived on my new platform on Wednesday, although we were a couple of hours late due to weather. Since arriving the weather has been steadily getting worse and we have had no flying on thursday or friday and looking very unlikely for today and flights currently on hold.
The wind has just been a constant 65 Knots (74mph), gusting to 75 Knots (86 MPH) and the sea state is a mean 7metres with peak waves hitting 15m. The forecast is the same through to Monday at the earliest. I hope this isn't a sign for the future, but have a feeling that regular delays maybe on the horizon!
On the place itself, I can't get over the size of the accommodation module, compared to the last 5 platforms I have worked on, this place puts them to shame! Just need to try and get outside to have a proper look around the process, but the thought of battling the winds to try and look at stuff is just a waste of time.
I do like my new office, although, no window in this one but that is compensated by having a well stocked fridge with pop and chocolate and the stairs are a killer so that helps to work it off again!
Here is a couple photo's off the net of the place:
