Controlling the Cable Congestion?

Posted by Cliff on from the preventing-the-rat's-nest dept.

JaytheMover asks: "I've just moved, and my wife won't allow me to set up my desk as I had before. I had a gaggle of cables under my desk which only NOW seems to bother her in the new house. How do you guys keep this mess under control? I Googled 'Cable Organizer' and found this thing called the cable organizer at cable-safe.com which hangs the cords like in a closet or this cable snake thing which binds them all together. What do Slashdot readers use to keep their cable clean and their wives happy?"

    So go into the bathroom/bedroom/kitchen and make some unreasonable demand about how she organizes her toiletries/jewelry/spices. Then when she balks, offer her a compromise: she can keep them the way they are if you can keep the computer room the way it is. You're not completely whipped are you?
