I'll look at the video when I get home, but I agree, I’d also like to point out that it’s a the reverse of the original industrial revolution as it was home weavers that were pressed into huge factory’s mass producing materials. That took out each weaver’s ability to come up with new patterns or experiment with threads. We are “encouraged” to work from home, but that’s to do with lowering their overheads. One of the reason I started my garage project was because my grandfather was a well-respected master cabinet maker, we still have several items of his and we have been contacted by owners of his cabinets asking for information to give it providence. What I do is judged by how often I’m contacted; the less work I do means the fewer problems there are. Therefore, the less I’m contacted by users the more efficient I ‘am. I do quite frankly nothing, I may have put in two hours’ work in the last week and I’m paid pretty well for it. You would think that would make me happy, but it doesn’t. You see I’m only seen as the person who’s “system” does not work. Last year my system was down for 4 hours out of 8766 2 of which were out of hour’s maintenance, and two of which were BT’s fault because they cut through the optical fiber link. My entire year was summed up in a annual meeting as, system not available for 4 hours. Not .. system was available for 8762 hours out of 8766 or 99.2 % !! So I want to make things , I want to make things that make people smile, that they want to treasure and keep, then pass onto their children, like my grandfather did.
Rant over .. back to screen that hasn’t changed in 18 weeks ..
