Nice. How do you get that lovely "soft" look in the second photo?

Yep, some vignetting effect, highlight recovery and contrast adjustment with decent amount of noise removal (Light Room 3). One of my better pics :)

Thanks!

Lots of changes since the last time I posted here. :)

Got a new keyboard (Cooler Master QuickFire Rapid; I'm in looooove with the Cherry blue switches), a second monitor (Dell 1707FP), a whole new computer (Hackintosh; on the left), and a set of Ikea Dioder LEDs for ambient lighting.

Did a little spring cleaning today (late I know) and finally got my desk to a state I'm happy with. I'm still planning on buying a good corner desk sometime (what's the series from IKEA everyone loves?), but until then this will do.

You guys with glass desks, do you maintain dust by cleaning it often? I ask because I have laminate flooring and have explored glass desk ideas but can't help but imagine the leathering of dust on glass will cause me to go insane!

I have a new monitor from last week :p

2 questions what size are both of those monitors and what model is that dell monitor?

It gets dusty just a lil bit but nothing too noticeable. It usually takes a quick wipe down every other day to keep it clean.

Hi and thanks! The desktop is one of my own photos!

Ah so not as bad as I imagined then cheers :)

Both monitors are 24" IPS displays @ 16:10 and the Dell is the U2412M :)

I had a glass desk. Dust was as bad as any other piece of furnature, except you could just see it easier. The real issue was scratches. One year after having it, it was sort of ruined :/

This ^

I've not owned a glass desk myself but I've used desks that are glass and they can scratch quite easily. I don't think I'd ever buy one unless I had practically covered the entire surface with some kind of mat like almost a table cloth. And that kind of defeats the purpose in the first place. I'll stick to wood.

    • Autonomous post-training loop placed 8th of 4,000 and then rewrote its own evaluation strategy. An autonomous AI system built by researchers at Amazon's A-EVO-Lab completed a full post-training run on a 30 billion parameter NVIDIA Nemotron model — with no human in the loop, across four rounds running over multiple weeks — and then did something its designers had not planned for: it detected that its own internal evaluation metric had become misleading and redesigned the search strategy it was using to improve itself. https://www.techtimes.com/articles/319123/20260626/nvidia-ai-trained-itself-30b-model-corrected-its-own-broken-metric-mid-run.htm

    • If Ford would stop hiring SUITS to run the company, and put CAR GUYS back in charge perhaps they could do better. Heck, the only CAR they produce today is the Mustang. Hey Ford! Not everyone needs/wants an overpriced SUV or pickup truck that is so tall you have to have a step ladder to get in and out of it.
    • Amazing how some will just jump all over something. Probably the same people that thought Musk was a "tech god" before he saddled up with "bad orange man". Before, they worshiped at his feet, including a lot of so called hollywood types. Now, because he fell off the plantation truck, they toss him under the bus.
