He has to be moving a lot of stuff around each time he wants to use that computer. Also he can't possibly need all that poo poo. Give the man a garbage can as a thoughtful present.

He doesn't move anything. His forearms don't touch the desk when he types, the hovers above the mess and pecks at the keys. He also bought himself a nice stainless steel trash can with flip up lid about a month ago. Flipping up the lid was too much work so he has a box of socks on top of the trashcan and a trashbag with trash is on the floor next to it. I wish I was joking  Bonus edit: He's also a huge ICP fan

Crowley posted:You can't just post that keyboard and not explain how it is. Which one - the Kinesis, the ABS M1 snugged up under the monitor, or the one on the Selectric?   The Kinesis is probably the best ergonomic keyboard I've ever used. I've tried Microsoft's "natural" ones and hated the feel of the keys-they were really gummy and slow-feeling. I don't know if they're still using them or not on the newer ones, but my Kinesis has brown Cherry mechanical key switches, which makes it really low-effort to type on but still allows for great positive feedback on each key press. I picked mine up used, but would gladly pay full price for a new one if it came to that-it's allowed me to keep typing in spite of wrists that go numb at so much as the sight of a standard keyboard.

Cleaned off my desk today. The camera flips out with these yellow walls so I had to try and brighten the picture. I should paint and replace my falling apart chair but   Here's my foobar2000 set up on my second monitor.

This is my desktop, using Rainmeter for the text stuff and DisplayFusion to put a zoomed/cropped section of that wallpaper on my second screen. I like it a lot. I wish I could claim credit, but aside from a few minor tweaks, it's a complete rip-off of this dude: http://customize.org/screenshots/66463.

I plan to get more attractive speakers (because looks are important) and a 27 inch iMac. One day I'll get rid of my n-gage - but the drat thing is indestructible. Oh and did I mention I'm going to buy an iPad for no other reason than I think it'll look cool on my desk.

Milo Pollywalter posted:I like this a lot. Is that that flipclock screensaver in the bottom right? Yeah, it was the only way I could figure out how to get a clock on it (foo_vis_screensaver plus Fliqlo). The only problem is that I have to enable layout editing mode and select Fliqlo every time I open foobar to get the clock to show up. Trustworthy posted:Hey I do that too.

I'm curious if they'll still fall apart if you put your legs up on them?

Sporadic posted:Mine had a wobble until I tightened something (I think the little feet on the bottom? Can't really remember it was a few months ago when I first got the desk) This is true of all ikea furniture. Note: if you own anything that is flatpack, and it gets a bit loose tighten it ASAP. Continuing to use it without tightening it is what leads to the poo poo breaking or wearing apart, because that bit of wobble that would be solved with a turn or two of the leg/allen wrench is causing the hardware to grind away at its support.

Some people asked me for better quality pictures, so here goes!  Edit: Imageshack is crap. Try these  Click here for the full 1296x972 image.  Click here for the full 1296x972 image. On second pic, you can admire my computer crashing and getting stuck in BIOS for some reason. Only a punch on the thing as it boots lets it pass it and go to windows. If anyone has any input on this, btw, it would be very welcome. It happened as I plugged some USB stuff on the front panel. Gros Tarla fucked around with this message at 16:10 on Feb 4, 2010 |
