Where's the Place Where you A2K???

Dagmar,isn't it a norse (Viking) male name?

Norweigean (sp?).

Dag=day
Mar=light

Also has origins in ancient Greek

Damara = morning star

Dag is the male version. Like Dag Hammarskjold.

looking hard to the right


out looking in

I think this might be what started this off; here's a shot of my 'puter office desk:



I do a lotta my A2K-ing from here. Now, actually, I gotta admit the desk hardly ever is that neat. In that pic, you can see a small TV, a couple printers, a flatbed scanner, a wireless gateway device, a couple routers, a few outboard drives, a KVM switch, 3 desktops, a laptop, and the monitors, mice, and keyboards for 4 desktops. There are a buncha machines and other stuff, including the full-sized surround sound system, that you don't see. And I'll guarantee ya, you don't wanna see my workbench - or, as Mrs Timber calls it, "The Parts Pile".

There's also a laptop that pretty much lives in the den, from which I do quite a bit of A2K-ing, I A2K some from the MediaCenter PC (it didn't start out that way; just sorta evolved into it) thats part of the main AV rig in the livingroom, from the "Upstairs Bedroom" 'puter (an older iMac fine for browsing, emailing and for letting visiting kids play with), from a couple other laptops, and from a handheld/palmtop (which also functions as a comprehensive universal entertainment appliance remote) that has this really irritating way of disappearing into the cushions of chairs and couches.

And yup, its all networked together.


When it decides it wants to work

Plus there's a mug with geese on it.

timber- Yup! You're the culprit!

Now see! Timber knows how to put an office together. It's called "organized disorganization". When I finally get the rack together, mine will be all neat and tidy ... but will it work ???

Actually, I hardly go in the office at all for A2King. I have a truly wonderful chair which I do laptopping at in the living room. The office is used to remotely control and run clients installations from. I'm running WIN98, WIN2000, WIN X/P, WIN2003 Server, Novell 4.2, Novell 6.5, Novell OES (Linux), Novell Workstation (Linux), Sun Solaris, and Apple O/S X, and a couple of home grown environments. Other than that, it's your normal quaint home network.

"Organized disorganization"? I kinda like that

Another term that comes to mind is "Functional chaos". One thing that drives me nuts is a personal habit of downloading something onto one or another machine, then later wanting it, recalling I have it, but having no idea which machine or drive I put it on. And sometimes, I'm smart enough to load something like that to removeable media, but too lazy to label the disk



Chaos indeed. Trust me, kids, do as I say, not as I do

I notice that you are just about as aquainted with a dust rag as I am as well

Good point about the dust - Mrs Timber's a real neat-freak, cleans everything around the house, whether it needs it or not, but she doesn't even enter the office if she can avoid it

That's because a dust rhino tried to eat her one day. Poor woman barely escaped.

jespah - where's your place

Need to take a pic.

Here it is, my bewdeeful desk and the ol' hp laptop! That's one of my pastel paintings on the wall above the desk...And to the right is my favorite thing in the house, my bookshelf!

Nice painting, who's it of?

Thanks, lil k; it's Billy Corgan, the Smashing Pumpkins lead singer.
