What sort of camera?

It's a Polaroid i1236. I had a Nikon Coolpix L12, an absolute dream as far as point and click digital cameras go, but I killed it by accident at a concert. When they wouldn't replace the busted lens under warranty, I got the Polaroid for christmas. It's a... neat... camera... But seems to have infinitely more settings than it should. There's no perfect point and shoot mode. :(

Against people in this threads advice I went the glass desk route and so far it has given me many happy hours of obsessive polishing and several worrying moments when I accidentally slam my chair into it. It gives an incentive to manage your cables though as you can see everything, I haven't quite taped everything down yet but am getting there.

Interesting that you tried to claim a breakage at a concert on warranty - I hope you weren't surprised when they turned that down.. :P Does that sort of thing often fly over in the US? I wouldn't even bother asking under those circumstances!

If i grab the side of it and wobble it, it moves surprisingly little. I figure if there is a major bump (like an earthquake) it would fall over anyways.

At work I had a 24" monitor sitting on top of my tower behind my 30" monitor. Somebody pushed in a chair against my desk, the 24" monitor toppled over, knocked the 30" monitor over onto my sharp edged keyboard, putting a nice crack in the LCD.

Built a new desk out of an IKEA kitchen countertop and the regular IKEA table legs. Way sturdier (and heavier) than their crappy tabletops if you're not afraid to break out the cordless drill.

Just reworked my setup to what will hopefully be the long term arrangement.



Picked up a lower-end Dell 20" from work, so I traded my 22" to my coworker for an equal 20" he had, so now I have three 20s and everything matches up on my desk. The right two are hooked to the PC, the left one is hooked to the Mac, and both of those plus the old Dell off to the right are all linked together with Synergy. It's loving amazing.

I think the picture makes his desk look taller than it really is. Compare the height of the phone, the trashcan, the bottle, etc. Looks like it's just camera angle tomfoolery.

You could call it a garden.

I haven't done any gardening though -- it was like this when we moved in and it actually extends into the wilderness beyond this little patch. So far I've seen a rabbit, squirrels, several deer, bluejays, hummingbirds, and other little brown ones... sparrows maybe?

It's a nice break from starcraft 2 and web development anyways.

Yup, just taken with a cameraphone while sitting in my chair backed about 7 feet from the corner. I'm 6'0" and the water level in the glass on the right is about knee height. I do have a standing desk I'm building over in another corner of my room as an experiment, but for now I sit like everyone else.

What's that background on your right monitor? I've got a version of that that's all black with the shelf and desk being white, but I like the look of that one better.

Empty desks are for people who don't spend any time actually doing anything.

Which only strengthens my view that Macs are for people that don't do anything.

Well, if everything you do is on a computer, then an empty desk makes perfect sense. No distractions.

Well it wasn't so much visibly broken as it was that the shutter jammed. I figured I'd give it a try for warranty without going into too much detail the circumstances surrounding the failure, but they wanted to charge $120 to replace the shutter mechanism. The camera itself was $130 new, so it was kind of like... gently caress that.

I just had a bit of a shift around. I moved the speakers above the monitor to free up some desk space, they look like poo poo up there but they sound great and that's all I care about really. I know they're not exactly in the middle in relation to the monitor. What happened was I mounted the monitor first and then when I came to mount the speakers I had to mount them on the beams in the wall, as it turns out the monitor I randomly mounted was nearly exactly half way between the two beams, so im happy with the way it turned out.

Got a new mouse, a new (got myself a...) mouse pad and got rid of a horrible shelf unit thing my machine was on before.

It's a much nicer place to be, if only I had done this before my Uni work was in.

Seriously, only one of those pics on the first two pages is a non-mac, and that's just a Dell monitor they probably had laying around the studio for the product demo. I've always said that an empty desk is a sign of an empty mind. What is it with Mac people?

I got them from a shop called Habitat in the UK but you can probably get them from loads of other places, Ikea almost certainly does something similar.

I'm pretty sure this has already been said on the same page, so I'll repeat something from the same page: OCD. I can't stand messy poo poo or things out of order.

My coworker has a Mac and keeps a pretty clean desk. He has ADD so he get's very easily distracted. My desk at is completely covered in a 4 inch layer of papers and other "stuff." I've got pens in a pen holder and a stapler and things like that. Maybe if I literally never interacted with any paper ever I could keep a clean desk, but that doesn't sound very fun. My computer desktop is also half full of icons because I don't care enough to clean it off. Spending the mental energy to sift and sort through that kind of stuff is usually pretty low on my priority list.
