A boring Saturday? I don't know what one of them is! Too much to do, too little time.
If I don't have anything pressing - down the beach.

I have a regular Saturday job managing a self-storage facility. It started 6 years ago as a self-imposed penalty to curb an addiction that was costing me too much money...golf. The job takes a maximum of 2 hours a shift, leaving me the rest of the time to write code or just 'lounge'.

Try to make it lees boring:
Took a walk in the snow covered forest with my dear wife and 5 month old lab pup.
Checked out Midi Guitar by Jam Origin - nope not ready yet.
Now watching Michigan trying to come back on Ohio state while I check up on all you alls.
And with a 5 month old lab in the house there really no boring moment.

I think this would be quite a fun exercise, and my small media collection is growing fast enough (with the Telkom 60GB + 60GB) package to start making me anxious about preserving it. I'll just offload it to an external drive for now, so it's safe if my machine goes postal, but just one copy doesn't do much for peace of mind.
Has anyone done this, or does anyone know of a good guide to doing it? I'm looking more at theory here, as the component sets available are different in different countries.

Step 1: Work out how much of it is really worth keeping.

Currently I am finally at the end of a project and my attention is now turned to, What Now?
But I have decided I might entertain the idea that I could try something different or even a different direction or tools.
I love to program and feel that maybe I should revisit all the languages and tools that are around and see if I should change direction to other innovations for the future. But What?
Maybe you guys could give some ideas on what you might do?

Take a look at Haskell. It takes a lot to understand it, but it's really good for expanding your horizons.

True, another interesting language would perhaps be modelica[^] ...

I guess it's Do It Yourself weekend here in the Lounge  . I have decided to build my own desk for my home office. The thing I have now is a cheaper, flimsier and suckier version of this[^]. I have had it for 12 years and it is time to get rid of it, especially since I am currently working on something where I need at least one more computer right next to my main system.
I found this web site[^] (jump to the finished product[^]) and I like a couple of things about her approach: 1) Most of it can be laid out on a sheet of plywood that you have them cut out at the lumber yard. 2) The height of the desk is the height of a standard keyboard tray, so you don't have to fight with that (I really hate my keyboard tray).
I actually want to expand this into an L-shaped desk, where the other part is the height of a standard desk. I think I can figure out how to do it, but I am still in the planning stages.
Any tips or ideas?

I've thought about building a little more elaborate of a desk than you have posted. Unfortunately I also have a half-finished basement to complete and a baby on the way so I get to stick with my hand-me-down desks from the 70's
Someday maybe, I'd like to build a 3 piece corner desk but I'd probably use something nice for the top like oak or redwood.

I think I need to get this done quickly, or I am sure I will end up with something a lot more elaborate than I really need right now.
I have other things to do as well. I am resurfacing my kitchen cabinets - just taking the existing lacquer and stain off, sanding them down, re-staining them and putting new hardware on them. It is taking longer than I had hoped.

I built a nice one with room for computer, 2 monitors, printer, overhead book shelf and extras. The main things are; 1) do you have the woodworking tools to do the work, 2) do you have the experience.
If you don't have the tools and/or the experience I would keep it real simple.
As far as them cutting it for you at the lumber yard they usually limit the amount of cuts unless you get a nice guy that's really bored and talk nice to him.

Well, I have some tools and some experience, but I am not looking for something super nice. I need a desk upgrade right now and I definitely have to go with an inexpensive solution.

I think Home Depot will make two cuts. I assume they they just charge a bit per extra cut, but maybe I am wrong.
