 Hello everyone, this is John Linville the folks of the Linux Foundation asked me to shoot a little footage of my work area We start with the sign. I'm greeted with every day He's just identified the monster within or who's responsible for this or I don't know what it's a bit of a mess as you can See and obviously I share the space between work and hobbies Here's my desk the laptop there in the crook of the V is my Fidora laptop I use for daily work the one on the left is a current project. That's a real laptop They have a decent printer. We've got them. I love you daddy kind of notes I have a variety of hobby related stuff on the desk to some documentation related to retro computing a homebrew game for the Atari 2600 a Soldering iron I do sit and solder at the desk sometimes the camera I use for some of my retro computing blogs I do have an old computer over here with the e-prong burner attached I use for some of my retro projects I've got this collection of old computer books over here is a significant chunk of my retro computing horde Started out as a pile of things Ready to go for sale on eBay and I didn't get around to that before I bought some more stuff on eBay and pile it up Around it so somewhere underneath all this is some stuff I'd like to get rid of but it's encrusted with the stuff I'd like to keep so for now It stays here in a pile now. I've got a miss Pac-man arcade board hooked up to a Tandy 1,000 And a monitor to go with it I do have an old tube television I use for hooking up some of my vintage gear I'm currently got a candy color computer hooked up to it playing far fall and I use that for some of the videos If you followed any of my retro computing Stuff on YouTube. This is where the videos tend to be shot. I also have a Galaxian cocktail table game and two luxuries. I have I guess I have this in body chair We have these in the red hat tower so expensive But it's a nice place to sit and then I have this chair mat which is actually made of tempered glass It it doesn't deflect so I can still roll on it. It's a lot tougher than you might think Anyway, that about does it pretty messy, but other than all the vintage gear not too unusual, I think
