Our Workstation

4232612006 937f79cd11 Our Workstation

Happy New Year 2010!! I guess those are the words that you’ll listen most today.

So how is your 2009?? Better than 2008? I’ve yet to review my past work especially  blogging for year 2009, but I plan to work on it soon. It is important to know if your effort is worth every single second or cent that you have invested so far. It is even more important to know if your blog starts to bring substantial amount of income for you. Who knows, it could your full time job in near future..

I’m sure you’re now in holiday mood, so do I. I’m not yet ready to write any ‘informative’ post. Instead, in this peaceful evening on first of January 2010, I’d like to share the photos of our workstation.

I have long wanted to share our ‘workstation’ (if we can call it workstation anyway) but you know, time has always became the main constraint (sounds typical).. It’s not a fancy work space, in fact the table set is meant for dining,  but we turned it to workstation. It is of dual purpose anyway, where we can turn it to its main purpose in a split seconds (by throwing everything away icon smile Our Workstation )

We have 4 notebooks (including 1 from the company I work ) where each notebooks serve its own purpose. I’m sure you have more than I have, right?  From left is  HP Pavilion DV2 for blogging/personal purpose (purchased last month), HP NC6320 for office work (not mine), Acer Aspire for my wife’s usage (and me as well before we got DV2 and Inspiron Mini) and Inspiron Mini notebook for mobility. I also own a 3 year old Dell LCD monitor that we use mostly to watch downloaded movies.

Before this, I have been using Dell Latitude D610 for about 4 years, and I proud to say that it is one of most durable notebook that I’ve ever used. It still works until today, at my hometown, in use by my little bro/sis.

So, that’s all folks.. and sorry, I don’t own Mac for the time being.
