Ah, nice tips (white board). Anyhow, it's quite interesting seeing that people's workstations look similar, meaning, I couldn't tell apart a Canadian workspace from an Australian workspace. Unless otherwise posted on the pic. Great stuff.

Got one, but I'm still too used to writing on scraps of lined paper I have left over (I must have bought 1500 more sheets than I needed of it). Does work well though.

Features of my room (as in not attached to the wall or things like carpets)?
Massive 3 X 5 foot electric drafting table that serves as computer desk as well as drafting table
Very ugly but comfortable ...drafting chair
Dresser
Bed

Everything else is stored in my closet, which is not a walk in... just an ordinary closet. People who see my room can't belive how empty it is. Personaly, I like it that way, and it makes it easier to be creative.

As I broke my last computer I had to create my own. Here we go, my uber-studio:



Instead of color monitor I use my old Sony b/w mobile phone. I cant use CD's either as my cd drive is broke too, so I had to go to my friends house and write all DBP files to diskettes and now when I switch on my ubercomputer and want to code in DBP I have to copy 61 diskettes into to my RAM.

My coolest new addition is new GeForce MX 440 card it has 32 MB (!) of onboard memory, Im so proud now I can even play Quake2 without huge FPS drop.

As my motherboard is very old and it does not natively supports mouse I use only keyboard. It is very hard to draw in Paint althought I practised a lot and now I can write my name using keyboard only.

Sh**, I hate geeks!

thats a 19" viewsonic, whats wrong with it? I don't ever plan on buying an lcd, crt is better. And the chair might look ugly, the back is just missing. its actually quite comfy, but i sure wouldn't mind a nice leather executive seat.

Surely the Australian one would have like, one of those cork-dangley hats sitting in shot, as well as a couple of "tinnies" ... on a BBQ.

As for the candian one there'd be a ... uhh ... Mountie.

Quote: "Adr it's a bit bright isn't it"

That's been taken just now, at 22:40 local time. It's pitch black outside (as the black window to the right should imply). The monitor just looks bright because the camera left the shutter open for longer, so that it could get the rest of the picture bright enough.

I hate what camera flashes do to pictures, so if I can get away with it, I turn the flash off and increase the exposure time.

---- EDIT:
Or do you just mean the room looks well lit? If so, I'm sure it's a "responsible adult" type thing to use a computer in a well lit room Jeez, I am getting old.

Even though I have a good computer, my workspace is not that impressive. I used to have two monitors, but not anymore. If I include myself in the picture, then it would be, but I think I'd be breaking the rules...

I'll post a picture, maybe later tonight.

@Megaton Dog- Who are you?

What makes you think I blocked you? The fact that you were being persistant with asking me about my personal details, or was it because you didn't take no for an answer?

Well since I'm in MSN right now, and you aren't logged, in, I would assume you blocked me.

When did I ask for personal details, all I wanted to do was talk to your coworkers.

I do not recall asking for any personal details, please correct me if I am wrong.

I apologize if you are upset or frustrated at me.
