Office 2.0 Worker on the road...

I started my experiment back in April to become a 100% Office 2.0 Worker in my personal life and as much as possible in my professional life, to date I've done quite well and had quite a lot of luck with it. Now though I am on the road away from home for an extended period of time and putting things to a real test. I purposedly made sure not to "prepare" anything like I migh have in the past for being on the road, if you are true to being an Office 2.0 Worker then you really don't need anything more than an internet connection anyway.

So here I am in Florida, with a wireless connection, laptop and an "alien" desktop PC from my father, and I mean that it's "alien" to me as in I have not used it before. Of course my father's router was giving both my laptop and my wife's laptop trouble so I was limited to his PC, the "alien" one and he's not got FireFox which is my browser of choice but I'm not married to it so I was just as happy to go into IE.

Loading up my Google Homepage and going through all my normal daily stuff was a piece of cake:

• RSS Reader
  
• Bookmarks
  
• Blog
  
• Photos
  
• Documents
  
• Chat
  
• Mail
  
• Calendar
  
• Contacts
  

Life was good, until I ate something and of course needed to add the info into my Zoho Creator application I use to track things while I work to get into better shape.

Why does my IE not like Zoho Creator?

I loaded up my Zoho Creator and wanted to add in some info and I got nailed with an error message and thus was stuck and could do nothing.



So what is the deal with that, this of course is horrible as all those people I have been telling about Zoho Creator are now problem sitting back smiling and getting a good laugh as I argued with them how I had no problems with the basic functions but there were some advanced functions I really wanted to see added (they are in the Roadmap).

So Zoho - Charles where are you what is going on here?

Other than that though I am on top of the world, everything is working as if I was at home and working. I'm not missing anything - in fact I've been enjoying sitting poolside writing this blog and working on my book now that we got a new router and it's working with my laptop. When the laptop battery dies or the internet connection is gone, well I figure that's a sign that I have worked enough and it's time to jump in the pool and relax and catch some sun (Ernesto is gone finally and we got lucky once again here on the First Coast).

So far I would say the experiment has been a success, the simple fact that I can go onto any computer with an internet connection and continue to work without interuption is such an amazing feeling and has drastically reduced my stress levels when traveling as I don't need to worry about whether I have synced all my files, or gotten the most recent one present on my USB stick or laptop or something so I can cotinue to work.
