Sweaty geckos

"What ho!"
"It's my dad's, he lent it to me."

It's scary how much crapola you can accumulate in a spare bedroom. It doesn't look cluttered, not until you try move things around.

Then suddenly it goes from a impulsive reshuffle to hard labour.

My office was getting rid of some old pc's, so I grabbed me a spare Dell destined for scrap. Nothing major, P3 733mhZ with a 16 gb harddrive and 128 mb ram-- but hey, for £10 including a monitor and keyboard, who am I to scoff at it?

I'm hooking it up on a network with my 'puter so that I no longer hog the internet, giving the missus a chance to surf at the same time. That's going to be its sole purpose, as an internet station so it doesn't need major bells and whistles. When I upgrade my graphics card I'll swing my current one into it and grow it like that, bit by bit.

But..... first we have to create space and order from the cluttered chaos that masquerades as the spare bedroom. It's going to take up the rest of the weeknights and probably a chuink of Saturday morning to finish. Phooey.

Still.... it gives me an excuse to crack an ice cold can now and then, so it's all good.
