We have started a little get together here in Charlotte of geeks, call Lunch Time Geeks. If you are in the South Carlotte/Rock Hill area drop me a line we would love to have you.
Well we were all talking about the Lotus bloggers out there and I asked who read Volker’s post, and most did, then someone said when does he have time to work is he is always surfing for information and posting it? Is that not a full time job?
So I am posting it here in hopes we could shed some light on the topic. It’s not all about Volker though, when do you have time to post? How much time to you dedicate a week or day? Is it something you like doing or you do becasue you are in the biz and it helps create revenue?

He is a European and based on the latest EU working time direct (EU/85/08/1e) he is only allowed to work during months with an ‘r’ in the name.
We are all like that really we just don’t tell Americans during GATT talks normally.
Off to the beach now

Volker - I knew it. Plus I knew you are in the part of the world where you are very efficient. So in what Americans would take 8 -10 hours to do you only need 1 or 2…….LOL

vowe is lucky in that he can post during work hours. Some clients/employers, in the US, would probably frown on that behavior. But even more to the point, do you realize how much stuff you can do if, in your free time, you aren’t watching TV?
I would also venture to guess that if you really care about something, you will make it a bigger part of your life. Blogging, contributing to wikis and forums, social networking, etc. All of that stuff benefits from people that care about it.

Yup. Only one hour of TV a week. Top Gear.

I am with you on that note. TOP GEAR is my favorite TV show. I like watching it when I have time. My wife even likes it and that is a stretch since she is not a car nut and thinks, up till now, they all looked the same…..Oh lord.
TOP GEAR Rules!
