skorpionuk yesterday evening, I now have a study which not only contains a fully assembled computer desk (ooh, shiny), but also has some small amount of clear floor space in front of it. I also don't appear to have that much more crap piled up in my bedroom, which is confusing but good.
This evening I shall mostly be conducting open-heart surgery on my new and old PCs, swapping a PCI graphics card from old to new to run the third screen... then I can plug everything back together and I'll have a proper home PC again, yay! After that I just have to figure out the hideous X config required to tie nVidia twinview on one card and a third screen on a second card all together into one display - I've done two screen set-ups using either twinview or two cards, but I've never tried them both at once before. Should be 'interesting'.
I've also found my digicam, and started taking photos of all the things that are wrong with the flat... I need to write it all up in letter form and send it to the agents, as they've done nothing at all about the stuff I went in and discussed with them a couple of weeks ago. I doubt they will do anything about some of it, but having it documented will be useful when it comes to the deposit argument at the end of my 12 months there.
