“Uncensored, unplugged and X-rated”

LB showed a photo of his desktop full of wired connections among his Apple and the peripherals. And he challenged anyone to show the “uncensored, unplugged and X-rated” photo of theirs too. Since I was getting bored this afternoon, I took him up on the challenge and took a photo of my desktop. I must congratulate him on getting such an elegant albeit “haywired” photo of his desktop with such perfect-looking lighting of the area BEHIND the desktop.

When my patients step out of the clinic or I leave the ward, the endoscope room, the operating theatre, the emergency room or, last but not least, the cafe, this is what I turn to: my little side desk with my IT paraphernaliae. Missing is my trusty little Canon A95 camera. It’s one cool camera, although it’s a bit slow.

The laubeh desktop belongs to the hospital. Basically I just use it for the Hospital Information system.. where I enter patient notes, order tests, prescribe drugs, book operating theatre time and, last but not least, fill in consultation charges. I use the notebook for all of my personal use.

FAQs:

1. Where are the X-rated stuff? You’d have to look below decks. ;-) Obviously, all those are behind the scenes.

2. What’s on my wish-list? I wish the hospital’s Streamyx-connected WiFi signal would reach this corner of the hospital. It’ll soon be remedied… another WiFi router positioned nearer to my office. Or perhaps a 802.11n router just like the one LB talked about. Then I’ll be able to ditch the handphone that I use to connect via GPRS. Any other suggestions?

So, LB, does it qualify as X-rated?

    All these IT talk is making me uncomfortable!!

    When I looked at my desk.. I see lots of space (unlike Bernard’s). Perhaps I’d fill it up with more nice plants. :)

    Fuiyoh, Bernard, you really into those IT gagdets

    LB, yah! kaypoh to the max!

    ok. here’re what’s below decks and behind the scenes….

    yenchiew, “compact” is a nice word. very versatile. :P

    dobbs, wowwww!! innovative! thanks for the tip… i’ll give it a try. I wonder by how far did the contraption extend the range of the wifi receiver in an open space.. hmmm.

    I saw palmdoc’s comment in the moderation.. and approved it but i can’t figure out why it didn’t appear here.

    jonzz, well… LB called his X-rated too… he’s the sifu .. i’m just a padawan. ;-)

    BTW… there’s an X-ray-ted viewing box in the pic. LOL.

    eve, ya lorr… such a small office only.

    Queen, why are you “steam”ing? I thought you’re very busy today?

    JT, boys love toys. Haha… remember that.. *wink*

    LM, why uncomfortable? You desk must be very big and spacious :-D…plants are a good idea.

    yenjai, you should go and see LB’s stuff.

    Range not bad. Improved weak signal from about 0 to 40%. You can detect signals like 3 Km away ;)

  12. Bernard January 29, 2007 5:08 pm

    Palmdoc, woww.. that’s a lot of improvement. PCI USB WiFi … * taking notes*…

  13. Chen January 29, 2007 7:08 pm

    Oh, your working space is small. No claustrophobia? ;)

  15. Bernard January 30, 2007 9:25 am

    Chen, YES! All the X-ray-ted films.

    hoiling, that’s my PC desk. My other desk is rather empty. That’s for paper-work, of which I don’t have much. ;-)

    Dust: it’s in an air-con room… relatively low-dust. plus.. i use all the stuff.. so no time for dust to accumulate much. plus plus… got my clinic aide to clean for me, right? Haha.
