Early afternoon - time for coffee and a slice of that cake, if you please, Janie! What´s going on in the world. All I here is that people are getting laid off - mainly for some fabricated reasons. Long gone are the times when you joined a company and left it when retiring. We all seem to become some sort of migrant worker. Managers tend to forget that all business is finally a people´s business and that the quality and the loyalty of the staff can make or break it. O tempora, o mores! What a decay of culture! Instead of living in a house or apartment, we should all live in trailers, ready to follow work at any time. Jeff seems to be ahead of the wave in this, though not voluntarily. Time for change has come! It´s the same story in my country. I spend a good part of the morning reviewing my layout concept. With that upcoming move, I need to have a different approach. I quite like the theme, so I won´t touch that. Portability and flexibility are key factors for re-designing the concept. Here are some basic ideas: <ul> <li>Layout theme basically unchanged (I quite like it)</li> <li>Layout must be truly portable - moving it should not result in any damage</li> <li>Layout must be built in fully self-contained segments</li> <li>Each segment can be operated as a layout on a stand-alone basis</li> <li>Layout must be fully flexible - it should be extendable, as space and finances allow.</li> </ul> Putting all the above into a plan, I have come up with this: <a href="http://i682.photobucket.com/albums/vv185/SirMadig/MicroLayout2Variante.jpg"><img src="http://i682.photobucket.com/albums/vv185/SirMadig/MicroLayout2Variante.jpg" alt=" " border="0" /></a> My plan is to start with the box to the left, and extend the layout by adding two (or three) more "boxes", as space and money allow. Now, would some please take away my track planning program? CUL!
