in reply to (OT) Contents of my Office

Let's see... Things that use electricity:

  • 2 17" TFT screens, on VESA arms
  • A standard miditower computer case
  • Two phones, with two battery chargers
  • 4 speakers and a sub-woofer (I work at home)
  • Three mice
  • A drawing tablet
  • Two keyboards, of which one is used only for its joystick-like mouse control thingy
  • A wristpad (soon to be replaced with arm pads)
  • A mosquito-zapping lamp
  • An electronic screwdriver
  • My very own UPS (I hate power outages)
  • A UTP switch, 8 ports
  • The cradle for my PocketPC device, with the device in it
  • A fax/copier
  • A printer, deskjet
  • An alarm clock with very large digits
  • And of course my great *cough* laptop
Things that don't use electricity because they're not connected:
  • Usb2audio thingy
  • Several network interface cards, pci and isa
  • More isa/pci stuff
  • Two webcams
  • Lots of utp
  • A 17" CRT monitor
  • Some PCMCIA devices
  • Multiple keyboards, some split, some straight
  • A 2U server case
  • A V.21 modem (yes, that's 300 bits per second. Whoohoo!)
Things that contain or contained comestibles:
  • 10 33cl Cans
  • 8 Ice-cream wrappers
  • 3 Chewing gum wrappers
  • 2 Pizza boxes
  • 14 empty Penguin mints tins
  • 19 empty Penguin cinnamons tins
  • 2 empty Penguin mints decaf tins (yeah, decaf: had to try)
  • 12 non-empty Penguin cinnamons tins
  • 4 non-empty Penguin mints tins
  • 1 bag filled with McDonald's 100% recyclable garbage
  • 4 1.5 L bottles
Other stuff:
  • Bills, invoices, overviews, bank and tax papers :(
  • Order specifications
  • Self-printed information
  • Hardware atalogues
  • Magazines
  • Stationery
  • Accessories
  • Cd-roms
  • Books (not many, though - I get most of my info from websites and perldocs)
  • Manuals
  • Etcetera, etcetera
Things you won't find over here:
  • Sticky notes. Come on, with a PDA and a 2560x1024 desktop you do not need those desktop uglifiers.
  • Working pens. AAARRGH.
  • A dedicated O'Reilly bookshelf. I have MRE, and I've read some of the books elsewhere.
  • Old, non-working computers. I have a closet for those.
  • A personal refrigerator. Wanna have.
