Our home air conditioning has been broken for the past few days, just as we have been pushing like crazy to get RioFlexPay up and running. To make matters worse, my development workstation is in our upstairs, which is a finished attic. Can you guess where all the heat in the house rises to? It routinely gets up to around 90F, and doesn’t cool off until late in the evening.
So, for the past two nights, I have been sitting at my desk, hacking away, as the sweat drips onto the keyboard. I guess it just shows what lengths you’ll go to when you really want to get something done.
Looking back, maybe I should have just gone for the more traditional startup location and put my workstation in my mom’s basement? Or, if TV is to be believed, I should be doing all my coding on a sexy new Mac while sipping gourmet coffee and listening to my tunes in the park. Um…no. Yet again, TV lies to me about the startup lifestyle. 
What about all of you? Where do you work? What horrors do you endure as you toil away late into the night?
