I don't know about where you are, but here in the Raleigh area there are tons of tech Meetup groups... PHP groups, C# groups, JavaScript groups... great ways to meet new folks...

Any well-run IT shop should add to the bottom line, either through cost savings, efficiency improvements, risk mitigation, or business analytics. Even if all you do is deploy desktops, there's gains to be made, IT is moving to more of this model. As one of those hot shot consultants you don't...

The problem with ordering Ikea and having it shipped is that over a certain weight, it comes by an independent trucking company. When I first moved down to North Carolina, and had no furniture, I furnished most of my apartment (couch, bed, entertainment center, spare bedroom, office, etc.) and...

So that kit isn't really part of what you bought, that's the frame for the half round that goes on the end, I just used it to illustrate that has the parts in it you need. You could always just buy that, that'll have the parts you need. The last time I had an issue (closest Ikea was 3 hours...

That looks like the right frame... looks like you're just missing the little metal rails (top of page 12 in that PDF), along with the screws (111034) that bolt those rails in, and the plastic "t" pieces that bolt the table tops together. Looks like they don't come with that frame, but that is...

There should be a short set of rails that joins the two together. You'd slot it into the corner frame depending on which side you're adding it to. This drawing may be backwards, I think you'd be adding it to the thicker side, but start at page 20 for a reference. You should have two standalone...

The tabletop comes with a frame, and that frame will connect to the corner unit. I think you're going to have extra legs. That corner unit comes with 4, and the extra top you bought is only 47", so you certainly don't need six more. Or were you saying that you bought 6 legs including the 4 from...

This is supposed to be 30x5, so it's close... Just plane jane RoadRunner Extreme... nothing sexy...

Looks like this combination, plus the rounded edges on each side. http://www.ikea.com/us/en/catalog/products/S49807553/ Those look like Galant drawer units to me... http://www.ikea.com/us/en/catalog/categories/departments/workspaces/18963/

Mine? There's a little lens distortion from it being a 12mm lens (the only way I could get the whole room in a single frame was to use a 12mm super wide angle lens in the doorway. there's also some bounce on the window from the strobe. It was a quickly done, not greatly composed shot, but it is...

It's a 9U high, 21U deep rack from Rack Solutions (http://www.racksolutions.com/desktop-rack.html), with the optional side panels. I had to go with the full 21U depth to accommodate an older rack mount server, but they have 12U, 15U, or 21U options if your hardware isn't really deep. They sell...

I haven't done any gaming for years. The joys of billing 60+ hours a week...

I'm fortunate... my other half is really supportive. When she moved in, the desk was half that size. She wanted her own side ;-)

I'm going to miss it; this has been my office for 3 years (I'm an IT consultant that works from home about 65% of the time). Though I'm also excited... our new house has a nice big loft area that we'll be turning into the home office, and I'll have some chances to move the server rack and such...

It's funny you mention that... our new home office will be quite a bit larger... I'll be extending the right side to at least have a rounded edge.
