Remote No More!

Thanks again to Handheld Conference for supporting this week’s episode. It’s a conference focusing on “big ideas for small devices” taking place in Cardiff, UK on November 27th – 28th. Grab your ticket today.

This week we focus on Yahoo!’s decision to ban remote working, executing ideas, deep dish pizza and automagical open source cocktails.

How to Work Remotely

We are back after a what can only be termed a travel enforced sabbatical. This week we chat about two new books focusing on remote working, Kieran regales us with more eco-living tales and we discuss why our industry seems obsessed on building businesses to flip.

The Joys &#038; Perils of Remote Working

In a change to the announced billing, an impromptu early morning phone call made us think a chat about remote working might be in order. As many of us fight the January blues, and inevitable bout of illness that the new year often brings, it felt a timely opportunity to discuss the good, and the bad, aspects of working from a distance.

Topics we discuss include:

  • How does working remotely affect us?
  • What we both like and dislike about it
  • How much real work you achieve per day
  • The importance of “banter”
  • Is the reality like the dream?
  • A typical day for remote working?
  • Do we put extra pressure on ourselves to output more as we are not in the office?
  • How to feel part of the company you work for

And finally for those Nabaztag doubters out there you can read the full history of the internet enabled rabbit on Wikipedia!

Five Simple Steps Giveaway

To be in with a chance of winning one of the two sets of Five Simple Step’s Pocket Guide Collection 3 all you have to do it answer one of the following two questions correctly. Kieran’s decision will be final (he’s a harsh judge):

  1. Q: What was Matthew Lillard’s handle in the cult-classic 1995 film Hackers?
  2. Q: In the same year Sandra Bullock played a Systems Analyst in the film The Net. During the course of the film her identity is changed by cyber criminals but what is the name they gave her?

To enter just send a tweet to @backtofrontshow with your answer. We’ll announce winners on the next episode.

Moving Away from the Code Face

Like a phoenix from the flames, we have risen. Our year long retreat for slightly overweight tech men from the South West of England is officially over. We’ve eaten the kale, cleansed ourselves, got the glow and are now itching to get back behind the mics. It’s out with the Yeti’s and in with a spanking new steed for Kieran and a less than great “Madonna” mic for Keir.

In this week’s episode, we discuss where on earth we’ve been for the last 13 months, chat about how we’ve moved away from the code face and share experiences of a life away from daily development.

Finally, we announce the winner of the longest competition in Back to Front Show history!

It’s good to be back.
