the boxes did come last night, late. fed-ex knocked at the door at nearly 9pm. I got it setup, but not much else. still lots of work, I'll get a picture later this weekend of the final. The grandkids are coming over tonight, so I will have more important things going on today after work.

Ahh An Adult Nerd Christmas Story.. Late night Fedex elf knocking and tech excitement so thick that you've already visualized the warm networking roasting in your mind. Taking exciting photos of the present opening/setup and playing into the wee hours with images of backups dancing in your head.

*deep breath* Ahhh

All is well with the world.

yes it is. I did get connected o my NAS, so I could import my email settings ang get "caught up" before I went to bed. still haven't set up my redirected "My Documents" to the NAS though. but that kind of stuff is minimal to me. the whole room is a shambles, and I hav elots of work in clean up of boxes of stuff...

I have a problem that the new system doesn't have an extra 1/2 height drive bay available and so my cassette to MP3 device can't be installed.

and the after shot. Okay a few days later and I am nearly "moved back in".
I can actually see the walnut of my actual desk now, though. that's a good thing.

The systems on the side are my dedicated VPN system and one of my "Bibles"

Hey Rambo. UH NAS ????

You Said.I have a problem that the new system doesn't have an extra 1/2 height drive bay available and so my cassette to MP3 device can't be installed.

Can you purchase an external USB chassis and install it much like a Hard Drive??

Is that a desktop you purchased?

[RamboPreacher]

working on an external box for the cassette deck. i think I can make it work and the NAS is Network attached storage. here is the one I have:

Thanks Rambo, I needed to know that I was not alone.

Computer Techs Rule. LOL

I don't feel so bad now either, although my computer area at home is in much more cluttered.


I noticed the banner on the wall and cringed. I'm trying to get our school networks away from Novell.

Are those MS zipper cases I see under your desk? I have one just like from my MCSE days.

yep - was a MCNE/ECNE for many years. haven't klept it up since I changed jobs a bit less than a decade ago.

yes, they are. Although that's not what's in them. technet has gone completely online. I have 3 of those minders full CD's and DVD's of my Logos Library media (http://www.logos.com/) - though I have my "Bibles" (the tablet shown above and an IBM X61tablet), The Libronix (logos) software and library was the first thing to get installed back on my computer. (currently about 30 gig, of unlocked resources)

Just ran a bibliography report. I haven't done that in a long time, since it takes so long. I think the last time I did it on my last system took about 45 minutes (slowness due to the fact that I had to offload the resources to my NAS share, since I was running out of space, just before it died) and on by Bible above, takes about 25 minutes and my IBM tablet takes about 15 minutes or so.

On the new dual core (2.33ghz) Dell Inspiron 530s, 2 gig ram, took less than 6 minutes: 3,158 resources (books) Wish I could get more out of print works on here, but they are dedicated to coming out with more and more each week.

Cool, now get a real chair!

that is a real chair. I can't stand a standard chair when I am sittin at my computer. I am thinking about getting one of those big balls to sit on, though. does that count?

[MacUser]

On really? Can you clip your toenails while you work? My point exactly!

actually - I have. is that a prerequisite? i think being comfortable while studying is more important than whether or not i can clip my toenails, while at my computer.

I only wish they would let me have one of these kinds of chairs at work. it is interesting that you might find me kneeling on the floor, in front of my desk more often than using the steenken office chair (though I am told that normal people love them)

By all means yes... I was being facetious.

They wouldn't let you bring one?

[RamboPreacher]

...

no.
it wouldn't "match" the rest of the cubicles; besides, it would become the property of the company if I did bring it in and left it for my daily use.

I suppose you have one of those reclining leather thrones with adjustable lumbar support with built in massager and heat/cooling? (thought about getting something like that for my home office, above, but i think I would still be uncomfortable after hours of sitt.)
