  5. Jeremy Williams on May 8, 2007 9:28 pm

    Well, at least you looked comfy in the old office.

  6. Roberto Alamos on May 8, 2007 9:45 pm

    Your seating habits has not changed so much ;) I guess it should be difficult to type with your toes…

  7. Leftblank on May 8, 2007 9:54 pm

    You make me so jealous – I wish I was sitting in the Brazilian sun right now…

  12. Daniel on May 8, 2007 9:46 pm

    Roberto, yeah :) . When I put the feet on the top of the table it is like meditating…

  13. Daniel on May 9, 2007 12:01 am

    Thanks. By the way just to clarify that is my parents’ house. My blogs can not afford such an office yet hehe.

    Still it is great to work from home.

  14. Daniel on May 8, 2007 9:31 pm

    Yeah, but it was because my boss was not around all day long ;) .

    Old office comment
    At least it had an airconditioner for warm days and a permanent roof over your head…

    New office comment
    Looks like you have to pack up if those clouds build up some more !!

    *grin

  16. Ben Evert on May 9, 2007 3:01 am

    A bottle of wine or beer and your office would be just about perfect.

  17. Andrea Micheloni on May 9, 2007 3:14 am

    Hahaha :D I do think many people would like to have an office like yours!

  18. Phil Van Treuren on May 9, 2007 4:03 am

  20. Rishi on May 9, 2007 6:38 am

    OHKAY! Now I got it. Cold drink, a laptop and a cool front swimming pool – so that is the reason why your posts are so COOL … ;)

    WIsh I could also do something in blogging one day from which I can get something like your second pic or something more from it will also work :D

    Anyways, GREAT CONGRATZ ON YOUR SUCCESS! :)

  21. Rizal on May 9, 2007 6:44 am

    Wow! Great! One day I want to get office like your new one.. :)

  22. Daniel on May 9, 2007 6:40 am

    Thanks for the nice words everyone. My online success is very modest yet (there are a lot of people out there making 10x more money).

    But I am just glad I took the decision to quit my job. The freedom I gained is priceless.

  23. Tyler Ingram on May 9, 2007 9:27 am

    Wow that is an upgrade!

    I have a temporary office in my backyard (i’m on medical leave as my Achilles tendon heals).

    Wish I had a pool though, not that I could use it.

  24. Eduardo on May 9, 2007 9:34 am

    envidia total, eso es lo que me provoca… y un post acerca de ello http://masvisitas.blogspot.com/2007/05/un-grande-daniel-scocco-daily-blog-tips.html

    saludos desde Montevideo, Uruguay

    pd. escribo en español porque viendo que estudiaste en Chile, supongo entenderás.

  25. Veron on May 9, 2007 10:17 am

    Argh! This is the second time I’m looking at this post, and the second time I’m leaving a comment. I am so jealous and I want to have a life like the guy in the second picture too (that’s you).

  26. Noticias Automotivas on May 9, 2007 12:20 pm

    Cool! I am a problogger too, and live here in Brazil, near you. Used to live in Mogi Mirim/SP, this year moved to Pouso Alegre/MG. Regards!

  27. Daniel on May 9, 2007 10:00 am

    Eduardo, gracias por el post en tu blog!

    Espero que vuelvas a comentar aca.

    Saludos

  28. Bret on May 10, 2007 5:17 am

    Absolutely love the contrasting pictures. I have to ask — how well can you see your laptop screen outside? Whenever I take my laptop outside I have a difficult time seeing the screen.

  29. Daniel on May 10, 2007 6:01 am

    Bret, most of the times I work inside as well. That picture was actually taken to mock my co-workers on the company I used to work for :) .

  30. Joey on May 10, 2007 12:36 pm

    Now that is Inspirational!

  31. Toni on May 10, 2007 4:48 pm

    Now how do I break down these walls…

    I love the new office!

  32. Eternalsoul on May 11, 2007 12:12 pm

    How cool! Wish I get there some day!

  33. inspirationbit on May 13, 2007 8:54 pm

    You definitely need to get a more ergonomic chair :-) How can you work and keep out of temptation of swimming in that gorgeous pool on a sunny day?

  34. TechZilo on June 1, 2007 8:38 am

    Wow, now that’s some problogger.

    But, tell me – how much did you earn the month you quit your job? Surely it must have been higher than your salary ;)

  35. La Blogueria on March 27, 2008 4:20 am

    I hate you. Sorry, I had to tell you. I hate you a lot.

    Regards!

  36. Jason on May 25, 2008 5:15 pm

    haha! jerk!

    just kidding, that’s funny as heck. everyone’s dream office.

    I’m a tad jealous but if you’re able to live like that after alot of hard work then no on should be hating, we should be applauding and getting to work on our own office space.

    Jason,

  37. Dutch Schultz on May 26, 2008 1:19 am

    Great pics, I am the first picture but I want to be the second. I love your blog and hope it keeps going strong. At least one of us can be happy.

  38. VENKATAKRISHNA NALAMOTHU on May 26, 2008 11:52 am

    When will I own a new office?

  39. suresh on May 26, 2008 12:59 pm

    The new office out look is very nice and seems like enjoying the work.
    Is that not the fact ?

  40. Shelly on May 27, 2008 2:05 am

    Hi!
    This is the first time I’m posting something on DBT though I had subscribed to DBT’s RSS feed for quite long at my official email ID. But for no obvious reason, I’d not clicked the link to land to the main pages of your site. (That somehow has again validates my viewpoint that providing full posts through RSS medium actually lets a website’s readers to have a full read in their inbox, and reduces chances of bringing them to the main site. What do you think Daniel on this, BTW?)

    Today, one of your related posts round-up for May 2007 made me to click on the link to see your new working place, which in fact is quite awesome. And I go affirmative with comment no.7 for your reportedly “meditating” position.

    All in all, liked your blog design and layout. It actually had to be good… ‘coz its of someone who gives away so many worth and nice blogging tips :-) KEEP IT UP DANIEL! I and my other freelance (u can read hobby-lance, may be) gang do cherish reading your tips, which we shall surely keep into view in our newly incorporated blog on providing simple civil engineering solutions to a common man’s everyday queries related to his/her home and office space. (We shall be happy to cater to your new office requirements too! Just kidding! :-D )

  41. Shelly on May 27, 2008 2:13 am

    [CORRECTION in my previous comment]
    …..(That somehow has again validated my viewpoint that providing full posts…….)

  42. Daniel Scocco on May 27, 2008 7:39 am

    @Shelby, Feedburner already confirmed that both full and partial feeds have similar CTR, so why bother the subscribers?

    Thanks for the nice words.
