A few days ago I posted about SENUKE and how I just didn’t feel I could get any use out of it with out a second PC running it.   Ohh man the logistic problems this caused.  You see my home “office” since I have a family of 6 is down in our basement behind the theater chairs.  It “HAD” a wall here at one point when I regularly had staff in my house.

However, when that ended I really liked the idea of being able to watch the 110 screen (It was in the house when we got here – kinda nice, never woulda done it on my own).  But there was this damn wall in the way.  A day with sledge hammers took care of that some time ago.

So now I’ve got half a basement that used to be “private” office space.  My wife goes — “OHHH a part of the house I don’t have all my crap in.  Won’t it be nice if I can work on my scrapbooking next to you…. “SURE HONEY”!

So onto the problem of me picking up a second desk and the ensuing “Get your crap out of my office fight”.

I lost :) (welcome to married life boys – some things aren’t worth fighting over.)

So I picked up a “L” shaped desk instead of the big stinking “U” shaped desk I wanted.  It works.  I’ve got the laptop, and 2 pc’s running on it.

However, I don’t feel like I’m the captain on the bridge of my command center – there is no controls to my right.  Sheesh.

So I’ve increased my personal space in the house to 1/10th of the closet.  My dresser.  The garage, and 80 percent of the basement.

Not bad in “guy” zones really.

Next project?  Putting the wall back up to keep them all out again.  Movies aren’t worth the distraction of having my family this close when I work, and I think I’ve watched all of 2 of them in 2 months.

    Little update: Senuke is doing it’s thing quite peacefully next to me. No crashes, etc…

    It’s actually pretty cool. I’m writing this, and submitting with out ever touching a command line like I do with my own tools. Lazy FTW.

    SEnuke has really improved.

  2. Nice.. I am jealous. 80% of anything sounds like a TON! I get my little corner. I have 4 kiddos as well. All stuffed into 850 square feet. Wonderful times it is I tell ya!

    I still don’t understand SENuke really… A video tutorial sounds good to me!
