"The Man" - he knows nothing...

How can I create more hours in a day? I finally figured it out... I think.

I don't think I can do anything about how long it takes the earth to orbit the sun, but "the man" has got us all dancing to a 7 day week with a couple of days off for good behaviour if you're lucky. The sun/earth thing I can respect but the other.. what a waste. So I've decided to completely ignore it. With BBC iplayer and itunes catering to most of my needs and Tesco, despite being one of "the men" staying open for my other needs, I think this to be very possible.

I haven't been in a record store since Christmas and now I can watch most TV shows whenever I like, I have more time to do 'stuff', but there still isn't enough time. For instance, tonight I spent three hours building the front end of the new Burn website (not live yet) - meanwhile, on the imac not more than 12 inches away, I'm fleshing the outline for Dreamers while I'm still hot on the subject. This is the answer. More machines! I have a really old imac in the loft. Maybe I should dig that out as well.

Obviously, it's not a great idea if you're concentrating on a specific project, but for fleshing out and doing robo-work, it's the best idea in the world don't you think? In fact this very afternoon, while robo-ing some PhotoShop bits, on the other one I caught up with the new series of Waking the Dead. Even a couple of years ago, this would have been looked upon as dumb and verging on the obsessive... today, it's still pretty dumb but I'd bet good money after bad that I'm not the only one.

Enough for today. Another big one tomorrow - might even release the front page of Burn and give you something to click on.
