Post a picture of your desk
« on: January 07, 2006, 08:12:50 PM »
I might be the only one, but I find pictures of people's computer work areas interesting.
So, post one of yours.
Mine is attached.

Ok, so, the big CRT and black keyboard are connected to that little black box under the LCD, which is a Uniden New Internet Computer.  They were made to be internet appliances, and boot from a flash memory drive.  I pulled that out, and installed a 20 GB hd.  Specs are 133 MHz Cyrix, 32 MB ram, 20 GB hd, and Ubuntu Linux, no X.
The tower in the back is a P3 650MHz, 384 MB ram, 10 GB hd, running Ubuntu Linux, and Gnome.
The laptop sitting on the tower is a Powerbook 520c, 36 MB ram, 200 MB hd, Mac OS 7.6.1.  It's basically just a terminal to the two Linux machines.  The laptop on the right is an HP Compaq nx6110, 1.5 GHz Celeron M, 512 MB ram, 40 GB HD, CDRW/DVD, Windows XP Pro.  All of this connected to the net via a 56k 3com LAN modem.

Hey dasmi, is there a way to upload pics on this forum, or do I need a third-party photo host?

I think you need a third party host.  If you need a place to host, email me, I'll do it for you.

Do you mean email the photo to you? If yes, thanks. I've got to get a picture of my desk first though.

When I get back to my desk, I'll send you a picture of the stuff piled on my desk.

Can't guarantee you'll actually see the desk, though.

Here's my mess, though it was worse yesterday when there were 2 laptops sitting side by side with my moniter, and I had another computer set up on my workbench (out of sight to the left of the desk)

What you may or may not be able to make out is my Samsung 17"LCD (love it but will be going bigger soon)
The Logitech wireless keyboard and mouse
Klipsch 5.1 thx cetified speakers
100 spool of dvd+r's
100 spool of CD-R's
2 Packs Camel Wides
1 trio of Bottlesen Ooh Ah's darts
Motorola Surfboard modem
2 Dead hard drives (1 Maxtor 1Western Digital pulled yesterday)
And I believe lastly 1 Tall Glass of Canadian Club and Coke mixed half and half Wink
Cheers,
Shawn

Just sent the pic to you, dasmi. You may get two emails, the yahoo web browser messed up the first one.

Thanks, dasmi.

On my desk: Fast computer, wasted on only Web surfing, word processing, and picture editing; printer, moniter, mouse; and a messy assortment of cd's, cd cases, misc. paper, odds'n'ends, and lots and lots of books.

The funny thing is I'm not left handed, one reason I got the cordless mouse is that my dog chills next to me most of the time I'm on the computer. He has to sit on my right because that's where there's room, and if I don't want to keep getting nudged all night, I have to pet him Smiley whenever I'm working on a laptop or 2 they always go to the left of the keyboard because, uh, well just because Smiley so I have to move the mouse over. Plus any FPS games I'm playing I have to mouse with my right hand so my poor pooch is SOL when I'm working or playing. They train us well don't they? Cheers,
Shawn
