Re: Vaguely Security Related: Telecommuter Advice

[Andrew Case <atcuno () gmail com>]

have a separated office from the rest of the house

don't do work on your personal computers and don't do personal stuff
on your work computers

start some regular activity that will force you to stop working --
boxing, karate, yoga, <insert hundreds of other things here>

Other things you should think about include that you basically need
everything at your house that an office provides -- good
printing/copying/faxing capabilities, general storage (file cabinets),
potentially secure storage (safes/special locks/house alarms), a file
server with backups, and probably a few more things

if you are working as a contractor and not fully employed, also make
sure to document all your related expenses and to know all the things
you can write off as its a bunch of them.
