Photos Your Room and Computer

Temporarily re-locating my "working area" to the lounge, instead of being in the same room as my gaming PC...



I want to try having a working area somewhere that's just for work and university assignments, it needs to be a space that I do not share with my gaming PC, retro console, etc. I'm aware that the ergonomics of using a dining table & chair as a work desk absolutely stink, but this is just a trial for a couple of days to see how well it works out. There are just too many distractions in my regular "cave" upstairs, I just need some mental separation between "this is a place for fun things" and "this is a place for Getting Stuff Done".

We never use the dining table anyway.

 

Byron, the distractions are inside you

 

Trust me, I know!

But I’m trying to give myself the best possible chance of success. Lately I have done nothing productive in work (that is not hyperbole), and I’m incredibly far behind with university assignments. If this helps me focus and get something done… great. If it doesn’t… well, that’s fine, all I’ve lost is a couple of hours re-arranging some furniture. Even then it’s not a total waste: the room feels a lot more spacious and I always find it satisfying as hell to re-arrange furniture

In my experience it buys you a temporary reprieve, which is probably worth it?

 

I got a bit of a copper thing going on at the moment.



Keycaps: PBT Copper designed by Fatboycarney
Deskmat: Copper designed by Fatboycarney
Cable: Made it myself... colour matched Cerakote with genuine copper sleeving.

 

That looks worryingly grown-up.

 

Jealous of all that space! I had a tidy over the weekend, so my box room isn't actually a bomb site for once.

 

Made myself some new speaker stands



Much better looking.





Yes, the posters have slipped in the frames - don't @ me, I know damnit: I need some better frames.

 

@Byron C the posters have slipped in their frames.

 

or a little tiny, tiny bit of blu-tac

 

Careful - I've done that before and over the years the blue leeched into/through the paper. It wasn't a big deal in my case as what was framed wasn't unique or notable, but this could be bad news in other circumstances.

 

Maybe make/install some mattes ?

 

Wot @Mister_Tad said - even a little bit of blu-tac over the long term is going to leach greasy stains through the paper. These aren't exactly expensive prints, but I'd still rather not ruin them.

Yeah that would work. But TBH they're just cheap naff Ikea frames anyway; they're a total PITA to hang and the cardboard backing isn't held on with very much force. I do plan to replace them, as I've got an A1 print I need to hang downstairs - that one isn't a cheap print, so I want to find something a bit better than cheap Ikea stuff!

 

perhaps a tiny dab of pritt* stick then ? It's pretty low tack but I suppose could still effect the paper some way.

pritt stick has no connection to pritti patel of the spite girls, so it's not swearing

 

Empty room. Spend three days deep cleaning said room and rearranging all the furniture. One nightmare later.

sooo worth it.

 

Empty the bin Mr V-T before it comes to life !!
