My workspace

My workspace, originally uploaded by timbeckenham.

Given my position of being TUB and needing to fill my days, I've been spending more and more time rummaging around the internet looking for those items that will keep me entertained and occupied. So this has led me to this truly boring entry where I'm talking about my desk and its setup. Yep, a stereotypically geeky entry on a geeky blog.

If you click on the above image it will take you through to my Flickr photos and this will reveal all the notes I've spent silly amounts of time & energy labelling this photo with. Much to my lament, the blog entry posting engine that Flickr provides doesn't conserve these notes, so you will have to use that well-worn clicking finger to satisfy your unending curiousity about this strange 'Flickr Notes' concept.

I just recently picked up a few new additions to my office space thanks to birthday well-wishers. In gadgets, I obtained a Mierke External HDD enclosure complete with a 320Gb Western Digital HDD and a Logitech USB keyboard from Cybermart down on Huaihai Zhong Lu. Lin bought me a bookshelf and several large photo frames from Ikea. Really nice gifts. Thanks everyone.

One thing I can't make my mind about is a second monitor. It's not that I'm unsure if would use it, of course I NEED one, but TUB isn't bringing significant money in right now, and can't really justify the expense in lieu of rent, eating and drinking a beer or two on the weekend. On my Flickr page, a series of comments from what I have labelled 'like-minded geeky individuals' have been prompting me to get it, with the general theme being bigger the better.

However, I don't expect this to be continuing for much longer as I've started to pull it all together. I proffer bathing before 9am, getting a proper haircut & leaving our apartment at least five times a week as evidence for such a turn-around. And then there are other such things, like looking for work, reading scientific papers, and having a generally more positive outlook on all things Tim-related.
