If you want to skip the back story, skip down to the triple break.
For the past several months I have not been as active as I have been in the past on this forum. Some of you may have noticed, some may not. For some, it may have been a welcomed change :)
Well, my wife and I preparing for our first child and I have been busier than usual with work and I even hired on a second editor/filmer. We have been happy where we are. We actually saved up a substantial amount to build on a laundry room, a pantry and a master bathroom and we were planning on building on up stairs. However our plans were thwarted when we found out our house (and our neighborhood) was made into a historic distric about 3 and a half years ago (our house was just built in 1926- that's not old!). The costs of these additions would have been double due to the historic contingency. So, we decided to look at purchasing another home (we paid off our current home in a little under 3 years) and if push came to shove, we could sell this one and pay what we were going to pay for the additions and pay it off out right- even in this economy. So, I have also been working on that house on the weekends and evenings and sometimes during the day. And without further boring you with the details...
I am moving my home office and after packing up all of my cables and cords and power strips and battery backups and... well, I have a ton of wires! What do you all do to tame your cable problem?
I have a boomerang shaped desk that is a glass top that supports three monitors, a tablet, two PC's and a duplicator. I have a wireless usb print server that allows me to house my printers on a seperate rack elsewhere to cut down on clutter. The way it will be set up, the back of the desk will be out in the open for all to see. I was thinking of getting some PVC and painting it silver (the same color as my supports for the desk) and supsending these from a support and running the wires that way, but I would have to make them big enough to slide the heads through or cut a slit out of each pipe that spans the length to stick the wires in and have the wires come down a leg... maybe I'm just thinking to hard on this and Wal-Mart or some .com has a simpler solution that will fix my problem. Suggestions welcome! And as always, I am thankful to be a part of this community.
