I guess that because of the carpet. Why did you remove it? I admit that your office now look so neat…But, the previous one looks more cozy. I guess that because of the carpet. Why did you remove it?

The crazy thing is, I live in a 5LDK house now and probably pay less each month than the rent for your one-room Tokyo apartment! Still, I do envy your big city lifestyle. :) Haha, I’ve lived in six apartments in Japan, including one like yours.

A second monitor was possibly the best purchasing decision I've ever made! I usually devote a whole screen to the web browser, and have email or FTP open in the other. It also comes in really handy when chatting online. Just leave the chat window open on one screen while you work away on the other. I can not recommend a second monitor highly enough, but make sure you've got a <a href="http://www.microsoft.com/athome/moredone/twomonitors.mspx" rel="nofollow">graphics card with two monitor slots</a> or you'll be kicking yourself! I also suggest getting a different shaped monitor. I have one widescreen (1440 x 900 pixels) which is great for programming, and a taller one (1280 x 1024 pixels) that's more suitable for browsing the web, but that's just me. Absolutely.
