The wireless network has been more or less behaving itself (always miraculous) and my project this weekend was to get my new desk built & my real computer up &amp; running. Laptops are useful conveniences, but I really don't like using them more than necessary. My wrists particularly dislike them.<br /><br />Mission accomplished -- I have just finished constructing the most insidious piece of particle board furniture I've ever had the pleasure (?) to construct. Someone really went nuts with their CAD/CAM. Hooking up the system itself was a breeze -- the advantage of the new desk is that it's intelligently designed, and allows for all my various pieces parts & their cables, while providing easy access to my tower. Pretty miraculous, really.<br /><br />Of course, I'm sharing the room with a lot of plastic sheeting, some cheap plywood, the vanity from the bathroom that isn't quite done yet, and a wet/dry vac. So it's not yet ideal. But once I'm at the keyboard--I could care less. Hopefully, the bathroom will be done in the next week or so. (Theresa -- it's going to be Alien Bathroom 2.0.)<br /><br />But enough minutiae. Tomorrow, I'll be back to blogging proper, rather than blathering numbingly on the minutiae of cheap computer desks. I've barely even been reading -- just packing, moving, and unpacking, and planning &amp; preparing for doing much work on the house.crazyquilthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08634028229060473489noreply@blogger.com
