Speed....
I've noticed that I haven't had to reboot my cable modem since I moved it. Actually, I think it's been behaving pretty well since New Year's. Anyway, that's a vast improvement over having it drop to 12 Mbps every day and a half or so. It's been maintaining a nice, stable 230 Mbps every time I've checked.
Still slowly rearranging stuff in my Living Room/Office, but working off the new desk is a lot more pleasant than the old setup. Alas, there's no place for the DVD shelf that I built way back in my Vancouver, WA apartment days ('92-'96). It's held up well, but there's no wall space left. But there is a narrow bookcase that can nearly accommodate all of its contents. And if I rearrange stuff on the wall of bookcases I have between the Living room and Dining room, I could manage it without double-stacking.
Desk 3 and the coffee table are still covered with random junk, and three old Macs and a beige PC case occupy the center of the room, but the fireplace is exposed. I bought a pair of plastic 3-drawer storage units that fit nicely under the desk, but I haven't put anything in them because I can't decide what goes where yet. That's the same kind of organizational paralysis I have that explains the dozen empty comics shortboxes in the storage room and the huge stacks of comics in the den that have been that way for years.
I also bought a BD drive for Purah. Haven't put it in yet. It will be interesting to see if it works with MPC-HC natively or not. Also got a Bluetooth Playstation controller. Interestingly, the button assignments are different if it's plugged in to the USB cable. It came with no software but Windows apparently has drivers built in. But there's nothing that lets me assign keys to the buttons, so compatibility with games I currently play is iffy.
