My new working area

My sv has been constantly telling me there will be a new laptop for me to use for the project development since the first month I'm here but due to some technical or delivery error, somehow it got stucked somewhere. Finally, after 3 months my new special ordered laptop arrived. According to my sv, they have some problem getting the specialised internal hardware and hence the delay. But anyhow, it was quite a good timing because these 3 months I have been doing a lot of research downloading and installing various softwares for trial to find the best solution and it wouldn't be good to do it on a new laptop. So, yeah.. after 3 good months, I've finalised on the software and plugins to be used for the development of the project and now with the new laptop only important documents and softwares are installed. In fact, the old laptop has developed some virus and bug but who cares.. it's old.. haha

Left: My old laptop for the pass 3 months Right: My new laptop for the next 3 months :)

It's a HP Elitebook. I'm glad I'm the first user for it *grins* and the technical department even configured it to English for me which is much easier for me to work with. Despite that, the keyboard key is still in German. Luckily I'm used to using English keyboard that at least I know where all the symbols are. Sounds like I'm typing blindly but I'm surprised I can rmb it well or at least my fingers rmb them. My sv on the other hand is confused when he tried to use it haha

I thought having this new laptop to work on is great enough but little did I know the next day, my sv brought in some boxes into the office and gave it to me. It was a docking station with a widescreen LCD display desktop!



Fixing the station was a breeze and kinda excited because after 3 months of using the small screen laptop it's really eye-straining to do programming the whole day. Most of the time, I'm looking like a dork in front of the laptop. lol



Taking it out slowly fixing every wire correctly. After all, it is still office property, I should be careful enough not to spoil it at firsthand. haha



Tadaa.. the new desktop is up :D Not quite sure how many inch that is but it sure is big enough to see everything even from few metres back lol Now, I have to get used to using the big screen. I just don't quite like the angle of the monitor screen cos it is fixed and not adjustable which is a pretty bad design.

Good thing is that I don't have to strain my eyes anymore. Bad thing is I can't open facebook and view photos or chat anymore. it'll be so obvious lol But this screen is definitely good for watching movies :D Maybe one day, I'll just stay back in office just to watch a movie after work. hehe (what a reason to stay in office)



So now my working table has got one laptop and 3 monitor screen lol but I'll only be using these two for the project and another monitor for printing.

Wish myself all the best in completing the project within such a short time >.<
