A Post in 4 Parts (part 4)

September 4, 2009 by Lloyd 19 Comments

I have the closet cleaned out now, and I have a computer setup in it. Okay, two computers. Okay, at least two computers. Moving me into a closet ended up costing Lincoln Lutheran 2 new computers, a couple of decent monitors, a really pricey keyboard and mouse, and a fairly expensive KVM switch. But I made my own Ethernet cables to help keep the total cost down.

There's no place like home...

It’s not so bad as long as I keep the door open. And an unforeseen benefit to living in a closet is that there is no phone. I get a little more work done because it is harder for people to get ahold of me.

Those are design ideas for the next itteration of the school website.

Which leads me to the point of the thing. A few years ago I put one of those sign plaque thingies on the door and got a few signs to swap out. No one ever knew what was in this closet, so I had a few funny signs made that I would swap out seasonally. Over the years I’ve lost a few of them, and, more to the point, I’ve run out of ideas for new signs.

Ho Ho Ho

Seriously, three years running.

So I’m fishing for ideas. Obviously, the geekier the better, but I’m not proud. I’ll steal any idea. A former student stopped by few days ago, thought it was funny that they stuffed me in a closet and offered a few of his own:

  • The Bat Cave
  • Number 12, Grimmauld Place
  • The Holodeck

So, there you have it. Help make my closet more homey (funny signs are like geek curtains).

    You can’t get locked in there, can you? You should disable the lock, if there is one. Some angry, former student/parent could do some real damage while you were just enjoying a little computer time.

    Looking at Charles #5, I wonder if there’s anything I can do with the room number for the Mac Lab (or, as I like to think of it, my foyer).

    The Mac Lab is room 102. Maybe I could be 102.5 FM

    Arron thought you should have a “Men’s Room” sign. And a stack of magazines sitting outside the door. Don’t forget to grab a magazine before you go into the office. 😉

        It was. It was lost in Lloyd’s wordpress upgrade. I forgot to repost it for Arron until last night.
