HostPro is a rather large Internet company whose specialty is web hosting. I work at our Seattle branch which is located outside of Bellevue about 8 minutes walk from my house (not coincidentally). One of the things I found out real fast is that there are a lot of Matt's at HostPro. This prompted me to create the Matt sign which has directions to the three Matt's that are within 10 feet of each other. There are also a couple more Matt's that I need to add signs for but that'll happen when I'm not working furiously on a project.

Ahh, the Matt cube. It's pretty much home, beneath my right elbow is my windows NT machine, I use it a lot for checking my exchange email and Netscape runs pretty good on it. Oh yeah, Excel spreadsheets too. The majority of my work happens on the two machines sitting directly behind my right knee. You can see my little switch sitting on top of my black boxes. I have two black boxes that I do my development work on. One is a BSDI 4.1 machine and the other is a FreeBSD 5.0 machine with a gig of RAM, dual CPU's, and a cheetah hard drive. It's fast enough most of the time.
