Which would you prefer to work from home or at work?
Since I moved to my current workplace, I prefer to go to work rather than work from home.
If I had a nice secondary display at home, it might make working at home easier.
And if I had a nice chair and a big desk.
When I work at home, I put my computer on the kitchen eating table and connect the big keyboard to it.
So I highly doubt there is space for a secondary display.
If I buy a secondary display, I want one that can also be connected to my Mac, so I haven't narrowed down my choice of model.
I think I've written about this story many times.
Moreover, the dining table and chairs in the kitchen are folding camping ones.
They look like the chairs that the famous film director Akira Kurosawa used to use on set.
It has a backrest and armrests.
But I don't really want to buy a big desk or table, because of the limited floor space of my home.
In that case, at work, I have a big desk, a laser printer and I don't feel lonely.
No one ignores me when I greet them.
No one boasts endlessly about their children.
No one gives me vague instructions and then repeatedly rejects them and turns the documents back at me.
I'm really glad I changed jobs.
I studied C from 2am to 3am this morning.
I wrote down on an A3 sheet of paper the parts of the Japanese book in bold and the parts of the English material that impressed me, and folded them up small and looked them over on the train.
I also found that if I drank a cup of tea as soon as I woke up, the caffeine would make my head clearer.
I found that there is a practice environment called Playground.
I also found out that compiling with a compiler is supposed to rewrite source code into machine language.
C was developed at AT&T's Bell Labs nearly 50 years ago.
However, when people say 'declaration' or 'statement' in Japanese, it doesn't really ring a bell.
I felt that it might be a forced over-translation.
But I shall swallow this feeling and go on reading the book I bought.
Read it slowly, writing it down on a piece of paper.
