I work at home now, but when I went into an office I really loved the gig at Peachtree Software where I lived about 5 minutes (by car) from work. I could pop home in just a few minutes for anything (lunch, important private call, etc.) and be back before anyone even realized I was gone. It was also easier to get more work done because I wasn't tempted to leave earlier thinking of a long commute home. Instead I kept at it knowing that at any point I could leave and be home in just a few minutes.
Cheers,

Last year, I converted my home office into a workshop for my hobbies, so the home office moved to the bedroom. Right now, the computer table is so close to the bed I have to turn slightly sideways to get past the chair and into bed. I've got two server-size machines, so I have to turn them off at night so the whine of the fans won't keep me awake!
I have mixed feelings about working from home. I like the increased focus and productivity, but I also like the professional interaction and socializing of an office. However, I don't like being around other people in the morning. So for me, the best pattern seems to be working at home until noon, then going to the office for the rest of the day.

It takes me 5mins to get to work by car. It would take less than 1 min if there was no traffic. I bought a house in the middle of the island, so I can get to anywhere in the country in less than 15 mins.
How long does it take you guys?

about 30 minutes. Slightly less if i completely ignore speed limits. Most of that is on the highway, so it's not too hard on my car.

I'm using IVideoWindow to play a video, but I want the video to stop playing as soon as any key is pressed on the keyboard. I read somewhere that you need to use put_MessageDrain() to do this, but I can't get it to recognise my other window to take messages (the other window has been registered but...

What gets me is that it was posted *twice*. Same text.
There's gotta be a strange behavioural study somewhere showing how net users are so used to search boxes being on the homepage that many automatically consider *any* text box on a homepage as a search box.

Its encouraging to see so few people cycling,
When the poll was first presented, I was worried that there would be more.
