my old desk

This was my desk in my basement office when I worked mainly from home for 6 months or so. Its a real mess at this point with cabling everywhere... I used Synergy to share 1 keyboard and mouse between all these systems, which is very useful.

 

I have since then trimmed this down a lot, getting rid of the HP P4, put one of the laptops upstairs, replaced MythTV with a TiVo and moved my Solaris platform into another room running on a Sun Sparc server.

 

But really these days my Macbook Pro is where I do 95% of my work, play and other geeky goodness.
