First day at the new office, pop to Starbucks to write a speech. No plugs for the laptop. Grr. That’s why Starbucks is so annoying. You think you’re going to get decent coffee, but it’s a bit random. You think you can work wirelessly, but unless you have an account with T-Mobile, it’s expensive. Roll on local authority funded wireless networks, like they have in Islington. Or free wi-fi, like they have in most of the cafés in Stoke Newington and Valparaiso. Come on Starbucks. Catch up with the modern ‘knowledge-working’ habits please, and provide more than one plug for the low battery life mac users, and free wi-fi with the skinny caps. Loved the John Coltrane backgroud music though. Credit where credit's due in educating the world that A Love Supreme is not an ice cream at McDonalds.
Come on they provide the wi-fi least you can do is charge your laptop. lol
fair enough lol
must write to steve jobs about macbook batteries (if he's in)
It's better to work from you own car, parked outside any McDonalds where Wi-Fi is free albeit some high bandwidth sites are filtered out, you can get a cigar lighter to AC power converter from £20 and plug in to the mains inside your vehicle
TIP leave engine running to avoid killing your cars battery, Laptops eat electricity ! especially if you you're spinning a DVD in 'em
Gotta love car park anarchy. It's shop floor anarchy for the digital age.
