1. 50 minute work runs then a 10 minute break (just like most office jobs I've had in the past) 2. Sometimes, but having twitter and google+ video chats are helpful in breaking up the isolation. When it gets really bad, I hit the coffee shop 3. Office is separate room from rest of house, keep it simple and away from distractions (no tv in the office) Leave home for lunch regularly (I go have lunch with my daughter at school when I am working from home) 4.

Ok, this is so vaguely infosec related I almost hesitate to bring it up. Many pen-testers/security folks seem to work from home/telecommute, more so than any other field I personally know. I'd love to get folk's thoughts on how they carry on that lifestyle. A few breakout questions: 1. How do you stay productive enough so you are still of value to your employer? 2. Do you feel isolated at home, and what do you do for a social life? 3. Any tips on separation of home life and work life? 4. Anything else you think an infosec telecommuter should think about? How do thing work for you? Thanks, Adrian -- "The ability to quote is a serviceable substitute for wit." ~ W.
