|
|
I have a rather ugly rug, a plastic box, and all 8 Chobits manga volumes. There's also some sunflower seed shells, my shoes, the computer itself, and some DVDs. A handful of folders, maps for a BYOND project, programming notes, concept art and the trap-door that leads to where "it" lives.
Well, no trap door but I can dream can't I?
So tell me, whats under your, probably more tidy than mine, desk?

| I am afraid to look, probably a bunch of dust, this desk is one of those heavy items that I don't pull out too often, then there is all the computer wires to deal with. I have some junk stacked up in a box, hard to tell what all is in there, out of sight, out of mind and I hope it isn't eating anything, LOL. |

Only Quenlin would ask a question like this, LOL, your mind just goes off without you sometimes don't it, LOL. Just kidding, really.
I really don't have much under this desk at all right now, it was moved for the christmas tree and recently put back, give it a few months and we shall look again, the cat will sometimes be up under it hiding from the kid, but really I can see the bare floor, for now anyway, LOL. |

I let my mind wander once and it never came back, so yeah, I lost it ages ago. XD, I'll admit, I'm a bit on the crazy side, but then again, I'm not scared to be different.

I wouldn't leave you in times of trouble
We never could have come this far
I took the good times, I'll take the bad times
I'll take you just the way you are
That one? It's "Just the Way You Are" by Billy Joel, really good song, a classic.

Oh, Lori do you have a photo of that Wired Warrior thing? I'm getting mixed results on my searches but I'm thinking that it's an internet router. Send a photo and I'll see what I can figger it out.

I have two small dogs under mine staring up at me. I'm sure it's just love and devotion from man's best friend and nothing to do with the donut in my hand.

NO but I'll take one and see if i can figure out how to post it here ....that my dear Quenlin will be the problem....(lori+computer=not so good)...why you want it? you can have it son, really, I have no understanding thus no use of it...I'll try later to get a pic...it's really in two connected parts, that 'pivots' (i can't say that word without remembering that 'friends' episode where ross says that about a million times!--sorry off track) one side has clock etc, and other has four ports i guess they are called to plug stuff in and a light that i assume would be red when connected..other side of it also has some kind of computer connection cause it has that sign you know that looks kind of like a flower......it's about a third the size of this box (when your first click post reply) ...ok i got a magifying glass to read instructions (on top of my contacts and glasses this is really small print)
says things like this, (re key functions) ....oh wait never mind at the top it says, ''instruction manual for T425 US hub with calculator" then here's other stuff...4 ports for usb output-clock, alarm, calender, birthday reminder, count down timer, temp, chef-d'oeuvre ring, USB hub, LCD with backlight...there you go...now do you know what it is and do you want it?

Nah, you can keep it.
I'm guessing it's a digital calender with a thermostat, nothing all that major but it's useful if you get it set up. Makes a nice accessory for your desk. I have one kind of like that, but those little nickel-sized batteries are a royal pain.
If it looks like a regular box with none of those, it probably opens up, try finding a switch or a catch on it.
