1240 days and 10,000 posts later, this is some of what I've been up to.

Moved away from home (800 sqft 1 bed 1 bath apartment). These are mostly taken right when I moved in.

And finally, can't forget about my pretty sizable album of Korean idols. It's only a fraction of the 47,838 I have, though.

Congratz to 10k. Toilet leak pic and Jiyeons/Hyomins in one post - do not approve.

btw, the minus link in your sig redirects to the minus start page because of the slash at the end.

I wanted to take a "this is it now" picture, but my room is a real mess because I've been too lazy to finish unpacking from my business trip + I got a bunch of packages before the weekend. Not to mention I have cables running along the floor right now (eventual plan to run along ceiling somehow).

I actually have the recliner facing a side wall now and a little 32" TV I got from moving in. It's nice to not have to flip a monitor around anytime I wanted to watch something from the recliner.

I was thinking of going for quad GPU just to be safe.

I only went about 20 miles or so. Shortened my commute from an hour each way to maybe 25 minutes.

New receipe: 50 EXP
Existing receipe: 25 EXP
Call mum for advice: 10 EXP
Perfect Steak: 60 EXP
Invite a friend over: 40 EXP

You served the hyper addictive mix of BW and kpop right when I started coming to TL and I remained hooked to this day <3

My other folding table (5') is along the wall to my right, which makes sort of a cheapo L-desk. I find it rather convenient since I have basically no desk space when using three monitors (they're 22" Acer x223w on left and 27" Dell U2713HM on mid/right if didn't mention it earlier). I brought my old craptastic 22" Acer v223w to work and RMAed my other x223w for repair (buzz/flick on backlight). I dunno why the v series was so much worse than the x series, despite being newer and the same size/cost.

I'd like to get a better TV at some point and maybe move that one to my bedroom, but it's not much of a priority. I use my old laptop for bedroom TV, but it struggles with some high bitrate 1080p video so connecting the small TV would probably overwhelm it.
