Mini Stormtrooper images

Posted by Ub3rG33k on Jul 9, 2010 in Brain Dump

As some of you may have seen on Facebook and Twitter that I’ve been messing around with a number of Star Wars action figures. These in particular and a couple of stormtroopers, and an R2D2 unit (this is what happens when a 35 year old goes shopping after a couple of beers).

I’ve also been after an opportunity to put the iPhone 4′s camera to work. All the images below are shot with the iPhone 4′s 5 megapixel camera.

Now I wish I could take credit for the idea, however there are a lot smarter people on the internet, with a lot better camera’s than me, just google StormTroopers day off.

Below is my contribution :)

The New and Improved Computer Room

Posted by Ub3rG33k on Mar 21, 2010 in Brain Dump

As you may have read, last week we got a couple of shiny new iMacs.  We did however see this as an opportunity to re do the computer room.

We’ve been living in this house for over 4 1/2 years now, and as with most people, the house just gets cluttered.

When we first moved in, we both had a PC each, both with 17″ CRT monitors, as we’ve upgraded our main machines, we’ve then built up a “server” machine to host the media on, and to be a terminal for me to dial in to.

In the last 4 1/2 years, we’ve upgraded the main PC’s twice, and then finally changed to iMacs, however I’ve always just kind of unplugged 1 machine, and plugged in the next, which means that the floor seems to get tangled up in cables.

We also had the server machine sat on one of our original desks, which was just taking up far too much room.

This is how the room looked before

So, we decided on the following

Curvy Wall Desk- Black and Silver Coloured. for the server

Hygena Matrix CD and DVD 7 Tier Media Shelves to replace the B&Q specials.

32in TV Stand – Black to put the Hi-Fi on

2 x Wall Mounts for the 22″ Monitors

2 x Mini Displayport to DVI Adapters to connect the above monitors

This is the result of all that hard work and cash

As you can see, it’s a massive improvement !
