The office stack (CAL Delta to Modi to Sys) thence to Superphone DM220 (under desk, natch) and Paradigm Ref Studio 20’s, plus sub in back corner.

Ain’t the big rig, but great to work to… No room for Yggy’s here, nor am I completely convinced is it needed given rest of chain. Not neat, but heck I actually WORK here all day… (if a cluttered desk is the sign of a cluttered mind, then what is an empty desk the sign of?)

Now that my Schiit journey has entered the Yggy phase, I need to be careful, or things could get expensive fast. So many possibilities, Lokius Max? Tyr’s? Urd?

Reminds me, I need to see what the CAL into Yggy is like…

Never ends

Dood. New keyboards are dirt cheap these days!

My home office set-up. Not much in the way of audio gear- too many meetings

I learned AutoCAD R10 in school many many moons ago. I ended up buying the student version of R11 and used that for a LONG time.

I started doing real production drafting on AutoCAD version 1.25a, on a Victor 9000 PC. Then I worked for Autodesk for 26 years. Now I do product management for another CAD company. Mom wanted me to be a doctor, but this has been a pretty good gig for me and there's generally no blood involved (except during risk reviews). <g>

Lol! And it also isn't a desk until it looks like @Bowmoreman 's coffee table.

OMG you ninja'ed me on that one! <G>

That must be an old photo, you obviously have upgrades now. I am starting to know your setup better than my own.
Upgrades:


Naturally Finnegan was involved.

I futzed around between 18 and 22 working in a frozen foods warehouse, taking a few accounting courses. I was making $10 an hour in 1976, at least 4 times more than minimum wage, and doing OK. One day I walked into work and saw peers that were 30, 40, 50, etc and decided it was time to do something. From 1/81 thru 6/81 I went to Computer Processing Institute ($3K tuition) where we had 4 hours of class and then coding time. We coded on keypunch cards and got one compile a day. It took 3 to 5 days to eliminate syntax errors and then you could focus on actual logic. Heaven forbid you dropped your deck, the back-end COBOL class was a 2500 plus card deck.

No immediate programming jobs so I went to Aetna as a temp in a large policyholder (coca-cola, etc) group benefits division, mailing reports, looking up things on fiche etc; Heard about project teams and asked to go to one as an analyst. I wrote specs, designed reports and worked with the programmers. I realized that they were doing what i went to school for and asked to be moved to programming when the project ended

I hit the ground running as I had the end-user and the analyst perspectives (still my secret sauce, many developers have no idea of the realities behind who is using their applications) and was always given opportunities to work on weird stuff and solve unique problems.

This will be my last year working full-time and I plan to work no more than 10 hours a week starting next year until I get tired of it, the money will help feed various hobbies and I'll still get the dopamine hits of solving problems

Every day I appreciate how the decision to get into programming has impacted my and my families' lives, i could not imagine having any other career except perhaps an ice cream truck driver

1983-1988... that was my introduction to this technology in a British Columbian high school. Apple IIe and its ilk (link).

1981 in a BC school room... No actual computers in my Easy Vancouver classroom

Whaaaaaat?? Producer Steve Albini died. He produced many of my favourite albums from the 90's. 61. Way too young. I've had 3 former colleagues and an old friend pass away in the past 4 months, all 61. I'm not too far off from that age myself .
