I completely rearranged my office on Sunday. It meant moving the wall unit where the networking electronics had been piled up. I have bigger renovation plans, but I've mounted them on the wall for now. (“‘For now’, that's like a decade, right?” I hear you there in the back.) The only obvious drawback to the new setup is that the wall unit is now behind me and it's a chaotic, jumbled mess of a background for video conferencing. Virtual background of Swansea bay to the rescue!
The results of today's efforts. I'm confident they'll be entirely nommable, even if I still haven't sorted out how to get them into a more traditional size and shape
