The Home Office Overhaul (going from version 5 to version 6, as I call it) is in full swing. Except it will take a while longer before I can properly update the website to reflect the new working conditions. I’ve been at this for a few days now and it seems there’s a few more days of work ahead of me because everything just sucks up time like crazy.
The first two days were spent clearing everything out and moving the most essential services running on servers from the living room. Then another day to give everything a paint job. The past two days have been cable hell. Laying out all the cables at the right lenghts, using lots of Velcro to bind it all together, and of course installing the new Ergotron arms for four of the new screens. Whoever said that working with computers isn’t physical labor is so very wrong about that! Ha!
The new workstations aren’t ready yet so those will have to wait and I’m considering delaying the udpate of the site until everything is as it should be so it reflects my actual working conditions. In the meantime, here’s some shots of the current state of the Home Office 6.0 (beta, I guess you could say).
The small box on top is a Behringer Amp 800, an amplifier for headphones.
And, indeed, 10 monitors (12 if you count the laptops). Critics will probably faint while trying to describe why it’s inefficient. 🙂
So, if I have read your design correctly, you’ll have 10 monitors and two laptops. Oh, I can’t wait to see what the critics write about that! 😉 It’s great to see the overhaul underway and please do continue to show ‘in-progress’ pictures – it’ll be great to see it finished but it would be interesting to see how you got there. Is that a graphic EQ under the shelf? Whats the little box just above it?
Sure. 🙂
Here’s the ZIP file with the Visio Layout.
Hi, if you don’t mind what software did you use to create the diagram of your office’s future design?
Microsoft Visio. 🙂
Hey Stefan,
could you show us the diagram you made with Visio? Would like to see it 😉
Ciao
