Cable Management Nightmare
At work here in building 50 on campus, dead tired, though it’s not actually from work. It’s from the lack of sleep. Last night Jon and I moved my diminutive desk and computer set up from the extra room into the ”central hub” of the apartment. I could’ve held off for a while but I figured Jon didn’t really want to sleep on the futon in the living for another night. Plus Andy will be moving in at some point in the near future. He recently took a SDET internship for MS working on Office PLEX. So at least now he’s got his room ready.
I’m quite scared about how much electronic equipment we’ll have in that “central hub” alone. There’s already over 1.3TB worth of hard disk storage. Within the next 3 – 6 months it’ll probably hit 3TB, plus whatever Andy brings. That’s a heck of a lot of storage. Anyway, last night really wasn’t that bad. Moved the 9′ desk into the room where it’s nicely positioned in front of the fireplace, set up the Klipsch 5.1’s with the Creative DDTS-100’s with oh so gorgeous S/PDIF sound and stereo to 5.1 upmixing. At that point it hit 3AM and I hadn’t even finished setting up the Gateway 901x.
There’s been a lot of physical labour the past days here at work and I’m kind of not looking forward to doing all the cable management that is seriously required when one has this much equipment and doesn’t want things looking like a jungle. When I last did this, in San Jose, it took over 6 hours to complete. I get the feeling this will take longer, plus there is a certain little requirement of ambient lighting that one must take care to complete the set up. I think once I get done I’ll post the photos to my gallery along with Sean’s Media Center Flickr Pool.
