My (New) Workspace
Setelah lama nggak sempat ngeblog, akhirnya ada waktu lagi dan dapet ide untuk nulis blog ini. Sebulan terakhir seperti biasa sibuk, mulai dari kuliah, persiapan untuk ke Canada, betulin komputer (udah selesai akhirnya… *fiuh*), rapiin file (udah diarchive ke puluhan DVD belum abis abis juga *aaargh*), dan yang terakhir juga trading.
But the topic that I want to write about today is about my workspace (a desk, actually). Setelah sebulan bongkar - bongkar PC (thanks to that damn SEAGATE sampah things - two new harddrives go broken one week apart), beli monitor baru (It’s a 19" wide screen LCD by Acer), dan a couple hours of soldering (modifikasi router biar bisa dipake buat download), I finally got the time to clean up and rearrange my workspace. Here is the picture :
From the right to the left :
- A PC - an old Athlon XP 2500+ PC with 4 harddrives (2×80gb and 2×160gb) and a DVDRW plus a CDRW inside. The casing is a nice one made by Silverstone which was a prize of a computer competition sometimes back.
- A pack of DVDRW and a USB Disk
- An LCD monitor, 19" wide screen by Acer
- A keyboard and mouse (wireless) set by Logitech
- A mouse by Belkin (bluetooth)
- An external harddisk enclosure
- A mouse by Acer
- A laptop by Dell, a Latitude D510n
- A router by Linksys (behind the laptop
) - A card reader
- An HP Print-Scan-Copy all in one
- A handycam by Sony (currently capturing video in the picture above) and a bunch of MiniDV cassettes
- My pen
LOL, that was a lot of things hahahaha… last time I tried to find a Dell port replicator to simplify the process of attaching the devices to the laptop, but I did not find one in Jakarta, what a pity…
Oh yes, for those who are interested, the PC itself is actually running Linux, but currently viewing remote desktop of the laptop which is running Windows XP. I found it to be a nice solution rather than using extended desktop (plugging the LCD to the laptop) since it require me to plug the fragile VGA cable everytime I want to use my laptop there. This way, I can use both of the keyboards and all of the mouses altogether.
Hopefully with this new settings, I will be able to work better in the future. What do you think? hehe..
