Professionalism
April 17th, 2009
Remember being a kid on Christmas? Diving through an endless sea of presents as wrapping paper and cardboard packaging fluttered in the air like snow. And how once it all settled, your parents would not let you play with your shiny new toys until after you’ve cleaned up the disaster.
A few days ago I posted about my sweet desktop memory upgrade. Installing the new chips took maybe 10 minutes, and then another hour or so of debugging timings and what not (which at times required me to reset the BIOS using a jumper on the motherboard itself). Once I got that to a (reasonably) stable state, I’ve been cruising in full 8GB glory.
This was on Sunday.
Today is Friday.
This is what my office currently (read: still) looks like:
The moral of the story? If mom and dad hadn’t made me put down the shiny new toys and clean up, the wrapping paper would have become a permanent decoration in the house.
