  • I started looking at co-working space a few months ago and I took a package where I could get 50 hours a month in it for £100+VAT. When I was in there there were usually a handful of people working away and although I didn’t end up really striking up a conversation with anyone just having other people around was good for me as it meant that the only voices I heard whilst working weren’t just the ones on our video conferencing software or in my head.

    I have stopped using it now though because of a temporary change to my working hours meaning that I can’t take use my 50 hours in a month (not even half of them in the lastlnth I was doing it) but once that ends I’ll be kicking off that subscription again. If you want to know more about the company I used let me know as I believe they have offices throughout the country.









  • Very fair question and I’ll admit that a part of it genuinely is “because I can!” But that’s not all of the reason. I work across several machines and soon due to reasons that at the same time both make sense and are somewhat frustrating some of the machines I use most frequently are about to be locked down and my ability to instal software removed, so that is part of it. Web apps allow me to sidestep this issue. I’m a bit of a forgetful person that has to act when inspiration hits me or I forget to deal with it. Sometimes that’s probably for the best but other times a moment of inspiration has turned into something wonderful (both in the 3D printing scenario and wider life) Most of my homelab setup is web-based already and I have most of my files synchronised around to allow me easy access no matter where I am or what device I’m on, I also work long days away from home now and then and like the idea of having an idea, processing the stl file and then kicking off a print job so it’s complete by the time I get back home. In the end I guess my big motivator here is due to my own personal failings, I’m an impatient and forgetful person that would rather just get stuff done than improve my memory and patience ;)
