I didn't expect that.

This is a sequel blog. Part One was yesterday.

"It's ok," I said to myself as the pile of controllers expanded before my very eyes. "The drawer beneath the consoles is still empty. They'll all fit snuggly in there, and I can even use my Platdude Curtain Material to give them a lovely cushioning inside the drawer."

The VCR, 3 old Laptops and a Scanner, all fitted snuggly in the old Controllers drawer, and the wall of old Hard Drives settled in-between everything.
Now I just had to move the controllers over to that one empty drawer at the other end of the room, and.

UHOH!!!
That's not an empty drawer!!!
That's a Buffalo NAS, a Western Digital MyCloud NAS, a giant tin of Lego Minifigs, a few Lego baseplates, a disk-holder with important boot-disks and the like, and a series of old Atari ST Boxed games. Oh, and some Amstrad CPC tapes, too.


... When did I fill that?!

Oh no..
So, I hunted high and low for a new place to put all the controllers, before reluctantly digging out the wall of old HDD's, squeezing most of the controllers back into the controller drawer, and using a couple of old shoebox to fit all the Wiimotes and hard drives into.

*sigh*

The VCR had to come back out, too, and is now sat on top of the last remaining moving box, which contains mostly 90s TV character plushies.

I'd say it was roughly 2 hours of work, yesterday, and in the end about 80% of what I did had to be undone.



That was an incredibly wasteful amount of effort.

The prospect of having to do a much larger bedroom reorganisation is looking rather plausible right now.

So, um, Advent starts tomorrow, and .. yeah, that's not happening, is it.?

But keep an eye out over on SoCoder, because there is at least going to be something gamey going on.
I won't say anything more than that. Spoilers, and all..

Exciting!!

Code : 0/5 - No coding again? For shame, Jay
Worked : 1/5 - What I did do, didn't really work out!
Fun : 2/5 - That's an awful lot of old hard drives. I might have to have a nosey..
