pic: Brandon Martus in 10 years?

[Jay H 237]

It's a little neater than what I got here. I have a pile of computer parts and several "parts" computers sitting on the floor. One of the computers has been sitting so long and accumulated so much stuff stacked on it that it's been upgraded to "coffee table status"!

The thing that really surprises me in those pictures is the lack of any battery back-ups (UPS's). Especially with those servers.

Where are the piles of Cd roms (or dvd roms) for writing cds, and how much do the headphones cost (pounds or dollars)

[Brandon Martus]

UPS: Never had one, probably should, but never got around to buying one.

CD-R: There's a spindle just out of view, down in the bottom left, next to the grey & black flash light.

Headphones: They are an old pair of RCA's that cost no more than $25 USD, on sale at buy.com.

After seeing your room brandon please please don't tell me that one of those computers edits CD =)

Why are the computers open like that and why are they on a rug...... I guess static electricity don't bother your computers that much =) and whats with the bit monitors i thought you would have an LCD screen or something like a flap panel by now....



In comparison to brandons desk and mine:
1- mine is wider
2- " " shorter
3- " " roomier
4- " " cluttered with papers and empty glasses / bottles of pepsi etc
5- my wiring mess is hidden behind my desk

Ill post a pic of mine when i get a chance right now i gotta go eat something =) and leave it on my officially considered my lazy desk

Yep, the one under the desk on the left is my main workstation.

Why are the computers open like that

easy access, ventilation, laziness?

and why are they on a rug...... I guess static electricity don't bother your computers that much =)

because i like my desk to be cluttered with stuff other than my tower(s). if my computers die from static electricity, that'd probably be a blessing. i need a vacation.

and whats with the bit monitors i thought you would have an LCD screen or something like a flap panel by now....

nah, im poor.

[mtaman02]

oh ok

and here i thought the main reason for not doing / having any of the above was b/c your a busy man =)

It's almost time for an update.

Unfortunately, the original picture is no longer linked, but it was the one below (according to archive.org).
