Most of the time... this

A brightly-lit PC case with spinning fans. A tuxedo housecat is sitting on the top looking serene

I've had to adapt by putting a drinks coaster over the power button which is also under the cat.

I'm yet to receive a couple of thingies from Amazon to hide as much as possible the existing cables and a nice wooden support for the headphones. I also need to add a plant somewhere 😂

Can't promise I'll remember but if I do, I'll upload a pic when finished,

cheers!

I got a plastic IKEA plant, it's great because it doesn't die if you forget to water it. Water near computer isn't a good idea anyways xD

I have built this e-paper frame playing movies with a rate of 4 seconds of movie per hour. slowplayer.raven.ch is showing the same thing I see on my desk. 😆

Not a closeup of what's on my desk - since I'm a few thousand miles away from my home office right now - but I dug up a picture of my home office. This equipment is prehistoric - but so am I. I sorta retired around a decade ago. I'm actually going to overhaul everything when I get back home (I'm in Mexico right now avoiding the Canadian winter).
