The Setup So Far

I’ve been getting some requests for pictures of the new apartment.

I don’t know what version to call this “Lair”, but this is how it looks for now.

The Setup So Far

I guess I should post a full tour of the place, but really, it’s just a regular apartment. I don’t know what some people are wanting… maybe after a couple weeks of decorating I’ll be able to show some coolness.

The move wasn’t too crazy. I’m happy that I have so little stuff. Pretty much all my stuff falls into four categories: kitchen accessories (with a small box of toiletries), clothing, books (and all the paper documents), and electronics (oh the cables… so many freaking cables…). Over the year, I intend to start a scanning project of all my old documents, as well as start selling even more crap I don’t need.

All the while I’m realizing how little stuff I truly have, I’m realizing how much bigger this apartment is compared to the last one. There are too many cabinets and closets going unfilled. I liked the limits that were placed at my last place.

However, I am enjoying the much larger and more traditionally shaped living room. My last one was much longer than it was wide, and so it created an interesting situation with my work desk/bench. Now, I have plenty of room to mess around with.

Time to go look at some posters and dry-erase boards. A printer/scanner is also being researched.

Another Personal Update

Yes, I realize there’s been a lack of actual content with the blog.

I apologize.

Instead, you keep getting my personal ramblings. Yikes.

I’m currently working on an entry on Facebook and how it’s changing social networking in the real world, as well as a post on why I started buying books again, especially technical books.

Yahoo! Homework is going swimmingly. I’m almost set, except for a little JavaScript magic which should take about an hour, as well as going for a couple more bonus points for compatibility with multiple browsers. That’ll be most of tomorrow spent at Grainger.

Which brings me to a few things I have to finish up as I leave Grainger. Subversion demo/presentation is tomorrow at 10, and so I am completing some documentation for that.

Need coffee. Not an all-nighter, but I just need a boost.

By the way, Dave Brubeck is amazing. Someone please point me to some other good Jazz musicians… this is a new genre of music I need to continue exploring.

Oh, and beer tasting. Something tells me I’ll be… slightly inebriated tomorrow.

Let’s see… more randomness…

Grainger’s full today. All the nerds are studying for their finals. Why wasn’t I like this back in the day…

Oh one last thing I’ve realized… I cannot get work done at my apartment here on campus. One thing, my apartment is not very inviting for work, because of the horrible desk height/chair combo (as well as the lighting). I’m going to have to revisit some ergonomic issues later, but… looks like it doesn’t really matter much anymore. I’m really amazed that I got any work done in the past 4 months there… wow.

A larger issue is that… I have a feeling I really do have to get out from where I sleep to get work done. Be it the kitchen table… or even a separate office room. This is all, of course, planning for the days of the start-up.

Look at the time, back to work!
