Everything on the floor24 viewsYes, everything was running on the floor. Probably not a great idea for an office steps from the ocean, and 7 feet above sea level in a common hurricane area.

Starting off43 viewsYou can see a few of my music CD's. Mostly from the 80's and from Columbia House. Over the years, they were all burned to mp3 and wmv format. These 2 dells were the first 2 machines. I had a T1 line running into my house. No DSL.

Rackmount?40 viewsRob built these shelves in my house to help house the servers as the business was growing. I owned quite a few big computers since it didn't matter how much space they took up. You are looking at 3 Acer servers, 2 Rackmount servers, a Dell Poweredge server as well as your regular switches, hubs, battery backups etc. These computers ran until the business was sold in 2005. Can anyone say "depreciation?"

Wires31 viewsWires wires everywhere. Over the years, I think I own hundreds of dollars of wires. As more computers were put in, things go worse!

Reverse Shot of the garage...28 viewsYes, when I clean, I had to put everything somewhere. Even still, I don't think the garage has been this organized since! <grin>

Shelves in the garage36 viewsRob put these shelves in the garage. I originally wanted to put my car in there, but my new car was too long. These shelves are working out great! Thanks Rob. Also, my Specialized bike was my first racing bike. Went great and was light as a feather. I don't think the garage has been as clean since.

My house54 viewsExtreme Programming was run out of my house. Needless to say, I got to spend quite a few hours in my home over the years I ran the business. This is how it looked in 1999 which the driveway was being put in. I had more landscaping done in the years following.

|

The driveway...42 viewsI had a circular driveway poured in my front yard. Less yard, but at least the cars don't park single-file with Last in-First out. Now everyone on the block has (semi) circular driveways, but I was the first!
