  Of desks and shipsJun 23, 2010 3:38 AM PDT | url
 
Added 1 new A* page:Ooh, not another of these only-one-page days! Ech. On the plus side, I think I'm just about done modifying this new table thingy I've been trying to set up as a desk / drawing table; after days of altering or replacing large amounts of it, like replacing its wheel feet with tennis balls, cutting its top down to size with my dad's POWER SAW, hand-sanding the heck out of the remaining top part in my bathtub, and replacing the super-flimsy washers it came with after one buckled and caused one of the top's clamps to get screwed up (fortunately I have spares since I'm only using half the top to begin with), I've now got it into a workable state, hopefully. It even TRANSFORMS between DRAWING MODE and TYPING MODE; admittedly this is just a workaround for its total inability to stay up if you try adjusting the table height normally.
 
Yes it was cheap. ;) But its general frame and size looked closer to what I needed than the more expensive ones, so I figured it was worth trying to whip it into shape. If there was a manufacturer out there who actually made compact, sturdy, adjustable and affordable work surfaces for keyboards/drawing tablets, I wouldn't be having this problem. =P Not to mention the furniture-industry-wide problem of always making desks that are at least several inches too high for even a fairly tall dude like me to type on in a truly ergonomic fashion! Anyway hopefully this one will work out now; so far it's definitely better than...not having a table, which was my previous situation.
 
Okay I know, nobody cares about the table. So as you can see, slow page output aside, we're already springing into some action, huzzah! It sure is nice to have them out of those silly old ships. I tried making a banner out of this one:

No, I'm not at all desperate for a sexy full-width image to use in a banner, why do you ask? :P Eh... Fortunately this episode should have plenty more material to draw from now that Selenis is on the loose. Burn the ships!
