Occasional musings that fall out of my brain and on to the site. Occasionally more occasional than I'd like. But will try to fix that.

The Rearrangement of Things

Posted by stephen on Monday, 15th August, 2005 @ 23:36

Well, I decided to be all domestic this past Sunday and do something about a little corner of my house. So I've rearranged my main bedroom, shoved the bed over to the wall, assembled a computer desk I've had for months that was intended for bedroom two, installed it in bedroom one, along with one of my many PCs, my previously underused hi-fi, the Airport Express from downstairs to extend the network upstairs without wires and finally my laser printer is actually hooked up for use, through the Airport's USB port.

Through this process the room now looks a lot tidier and the carpet is considerably less weighty. Allow me to demonstrate. Here are some pictures. The vacuum was empty when I started.

From Bedroom Before Rearrange via Dyson After Bedroom Rearrange to Bedroom After Rearrange

Not only does the main bedroom have more space now, but so does the second bedroom and the living room, and I've thrown nothing away. Somehow the assembly of things reduces the overall volume consumed.

Oh, and yes, that is a PC I have setup. It has an aerial pointing to the mighty Sandy Heath transmitter so I get Freeview, along with streamed TiVo content and DVDs in the bedroom now. I'm sure I had loftier goals for that a few blog entries back, but it'll do like this for now, and my only purchases have been ?30 in Argos on a desk lamp, a new optical lead for Airport Express to hifi and a new Y phono-jack for PC to hifi.

And in case you're concerned, music downstairs is provided by the G5 behind the TV, so the Airport was vaguely redundant down there now anyway.
