Hi all,
The last time there was a 'post a picture of your workspace / desktop' thread on here I couldn't take part, because my office was being redecorated at the time. But I figured why not start a new thread on the subject, as it's always fun and one of those things that changes on a semi-regular basis.
Anyway in a sort of 360 degree motion here are shots of my office, starting from the 'back wall' and turning around again. It has changed dramatically from my old office, but I love the way it is now (and yes, I do keep it that clean/tidy).
Spot the Futurama collection
My over-full bookcase, gorgeous printer and secret doorway
My shelving full of retro magazines, geek books, blank DVDs and binders. On the left of my desk is my iMac G5.
Moving around, the picture on the wall is huge (about 5ft long), and those are my most used books and my Mac. Free prize to whoever recognises the artwork on the back of my door without having to read the game title
Special bonus if you know the artist.
My main working area, where I'm sat right now. That's a Belinea 20.1" wide screen monitor (soon to be paired up with another). Not too many geek toys on display here really, just my keyboard (an Enermax Aurora, utterly beautiful and so slick to type on!), and a Razer Diamondback gaming mouse on a Razer pad (white)
Moving around a bit that black thing in the background is a fireplace (this is an old 1930's build house, each room has one). It works properly, not that I ever lite it mind you.
And in the corner behind my desk is a seatee. That's my son (now 4.5 months old) incase you were wondering why a random baby appeared in my office.
Here's a close-up of two of my computers:
These two are Windows boxes. The one on the right is running the latest build of Windows Vista, the one on the left (the big black Temjin case) is running XP Pro. On-top is a standard 10/100 Netgear switch that all my various devices connect to, and a Netgear router which also provides wireless access around the rest of the house.
Those of you who remember my old office (where we previously lived) remember what a state it was
with stuff everywhere. I prefer how I have it now, less clutter, more focus. If you open that secret door however there is a raft of bits and pieces, magazines, Atari STs, arcade cabinet parts, leads, spare graphics cards, etc
But hey, that is what walk-in cupboards are for!
Cheers,
Rich
