QUESTION:Is anyone working in an it department? ...
Would you have any recommendations as to suitable storage for all the bits
and pieces that end up being accumulated? The office currently uses a
mixture of wall shelves and under the desk plastic storage bins but the
whole thing is a mess!
ANSWER: Get a large quantity of plastic ziplock bags of various sizes. Start
bagging the smaller bits and pieces, labelling those that aren't easily
identifiable by appearance. Then use the storage bins with some kind of
crude categories such as "mains leads and adapters", "network cards and
ethernet cables". Throw out anything that you can't identify or which is
broken, obsolete etc. The ziplock bags are really useful as they prevent
wires getting entangled and parts damaging each other by contact. Of course
you will still need antistatic bags for electrosensitive components but
those can be sealed and labelled too. Stack the larger components on the
shelves but use the same kinds of rules - bin it if its obolete or
unidentifiable. Only keep broken stuff if it is genuinely useful for spares.
