Oh deer! I didn’t expect this place was full of tech perverts.
OK, here’s a shot that was taken during testing. If you look closely, you can see the rude bits
Mannequin:

It’s got me thinking. I might get into some real computer porn. I could place this macho beast in my bed and do some shot of it fucking over a helpless, pretty Mac?

Not a gamer. I do a lot of graphic/rendering and usually have half a dozen big apps running at one time (plus the usual email, browsers etc.) I’m also playing around with video and audio so it needs to be pretty powerful. It’s also a tax write off. In this crazy, crazy system of ours, what you don’t spend on work related items, you have to give away to the tax mafia so spend I must.
That parfum sounds delicious, shieldmaiden - amber, vanilla, sandalwood (great base) pine needles and orris heart, and lemon pepper/spice top. It sounds like a sophisticated bohemian scent? Is it clear and light as the name implies? Am I imagining it correctly? If so, I know someone who would love it.
I figured you might be working with graphics considering the amount of storage you put into it, besides the fact that the only people who build these sorts of machines are gamers or game makers
I often have a lot of stuff open, too, and my lil carbon x1 handles it really well. Eclipse, MySQL workbench, source control app, a vpn connection, a couple hundred browser tabs… not a sweat.
So you do your computer work form a home office in the middle of the woods… you have the life I want, man
All I need now is the house in the woods, so I’ll get there…
I’ve never been tempted to buy a game. I love the artwork, the sets, the camera angles, the atmosphere etc but I just have no desire to shoot, blow up, stab, slice or bludgeon things/people to death.
Yep. I’ve been working from home since the late 1980’s. I was one of the guinea pigs when they were testing if working from home was viable and effective. I never went back to the office again. But it does take a particular personalty type. Some people need others around them. Some people need to have a place to go to to make them work otherwise they mope around the house all day doing nothing. You have to be disciplined and you have to follow regular hours.
I should have moved to the country/coast 10 years before I did because it’s just so beautiful. There are temptations here, too, of course. It’s a beautiful sunny morning right now and I can hear the waves rolling in on the beach just over the hill. The closest beach is often deserted… so it does take lots of discipline.
I’ve been thinking of moving further into the valley but chickened out at the last moment. I would have been very isolated – even more so during flood times with the only road washed out – and I’m not sure if I’m skilled enough to take care of myself in emergencies just yet. I want to be, and that’s where I’m heading but that might have been biting off more than I can chew at this point in time.
Phon, if something happens and you need to move, make the move a big one. That’s what I did. I decided to turn a problem into an opportunity and just landed up the coast. Sometimes being pushed in the water is the best way to learn how to swim.
