The NEW office!

As some of you may know, i recently quit my job to pur­sue pos­si­bil­i­ties.  My liveli­hood will be earned along with so many oth­ers as a free-lance tech con­sul­tant and graphic designer.  A ballsy move to be sure.  But have faith.

Once i had fin­ished with the old gig i needed to do some seri­ous refac­tor­ing if i had any hope to be pro­duc­tive and focused in my new career path.  First order of busi­ness:  I needed a new office.  I decided to set up a work­space in my bed­room, and boy, is it worky!

After the break you can see pix and deets on my new faboo work environment.

Here’s a pic of the new setup:

My new office

This shot was taken just after the com­ple­tion of the project, i can assure you, it’s look­ing much more “used” now.  And i’ve added some more plants and art.

My setup:

• 17″ MBP w/ 22″ Acer LCD
• 1.8GHz G5 tower run­ning as head­less server media server
• 1TB West­ern Dig­i­tal My Book Stu­dio Edi­tion (quad interface)
• 2 Ubuntu 9.04 “Jaunty Jack­a­lope” clients
• 19″ Acer LCD
• Harman-Kardon SOUNDSTICKS
• IKEA MARKUS desk chair
• and some of those IKEA “float­ing” shelves
• L-shaped desk pur­chased from the Good­will Bins for $1
• Big sheet of sound-proofing mate­r­ial used as a bul­letin board
• Some ran­dom other com­put­ers and bits of cash reg­is­ter hardware

It was fun to set it all up and it’s just as fun to “go to work” every­day.  As a point of ref­er­ence, here is a pic­ture of my desk at the old job:
