Out with the old, in with the new

A while back, I stopped using a desktop computer at home. Mark and I shared a Windows 7 box, but between my MacBook, my Windows 7 laptop and my Ubuntu laptop, I had no use for it (plus, ew, Windows). But lately, I've missed the desktop experience.

Last night, I moved Mark's computer/desk/junk area out of my part of the house, and in to his.



And for fun, I bought a new monitor for my old Mac Mini and set up a desk of my own. I already had a mac keyboard, a wireless mouse and good speakers, so it was a cheap upgrade. It's so pretty; it makes me happy. I'm superficial and easily entertained.



Of course, it made the picture of the day.

Nice setup!

Here's a screen capture of my desktop, complete with sad geek pic... :-)

That was at the Las Vegas Hilton, when they had Star Trek: The Experience set. The other folk are friends of mine who were over from Scotland, who make Trek fan films. They made those costumes themselves - very authentic=looking, I think! Nick and Lucy in the back are married, and just had a kid, and David and Alan in the front are civil-partnered..
