We successfully worked out of a well fitted out home office for years. But part of the move to Dublin was about changing our lifestyle. Last week we took possession of our new office and today our new monitors arrived.
Eventually we’ll move into our new house and install our other set of monitors, currently still in storage at the docks. It’s nice to see real progress, though. The office is definitely progress.
We’ve been blogging here about email for 11 years now. My first post was published August 29, 2007. In that time, we’ve published more than 2300 posts, and written probably millions of words. For years we have blogged multiple times a week.
Read MoreA quick post to say that posting will be light the next few weeks. I’m off later this week to visit Dublin. After I get back from that I’m headed to Chicago to speak at ACTIVATE hosted by Active Campaign. If you register by tomorrow you can use the code ACTIVATE and get in for $200. It’s looking like a good conference.
I’ll be speaking about deliverability, specifically how email filtering is all sorts of changing. My focus is on how the common “deliverability” techniques aren’t as effective in the new filtering environment. I’ll also be talking about further changes I see coming and how to address them.
After Chicago I’m onsite at a client’s for 2 days in Florida.
Basically, my June is booked. Both Steve and I will be blogging as we get inspired or have something to say. Overall, though, I’m giving myself time off from blogging through the end of the month.
Our first real company purchase was a big. solid pair of desks. See, we owed a lot of money to the IRS, but if we bought some equipment we could decrease the amount we had to pay the IRS. So we invested in very nice, wooden desks that would hold heavy CRT monitors.
Things have changed over the years and we don’t have CRTs any more. And maybe it’s time to upgrade or replace our desks. We got my desk assembled this weekend and I have to say, I’m really pleased.
Steve wrote about our experiences Autonomous.ai‘s purchase process. I have to say I’m impressed with the build quality of the desks.
I’ll be happy when our office is rebuilt and everything is back in its place, but even now I’m enjoying working at my new desk.
