My Desk

This is where it all happens.

At work I’m a clean-desk person. Here I’m a bit more of a slob… But I know where everything is. I do. Really.

That’s my story, and I’m sticking to it.

My Computer

My computer, affectionately known as “my computer,” built from the ground up by this intrepid reporter. It’s an AMD Barton XP 3000+ (the one with the 400 MHZ FSB) on an MSI K7N2 Delta-ILSR mobo; video is an ATI Radeon 9800 Pro, audio is a Creative Audigy 2 ZS Platinum. There’s a variety of miscellany hanging off of it. It’s all powered by an Enermax 550 Watt PS and stuffed into a Superflower case.

My feeling about cables is that one should either hide them, or decorate the hell out of them. And I like bright, shiny things.

So what do I do with a blog?

This is a test to make sure that it’s all working.

But, really, I have no idea what I’m going to put in here.
