My work set up. Nothing special but keeps me entertained.

Left + Middle screen is Windows 7 Enterprise

Right screen is Ubuntu on a seperate box (only just set up so I can have a play around)

Both machines controlled with one mouse and keyboard using Synergy (my day's achievement)

RE: some earlier posts in the thread.

Yes my desk still looks like that. No I didn't get the GC dev kit off ebay. No I haven't developed anything with it (though when I've got free time and the ideal mind to learn C/C++ I'll work on it).

And no, I wouldn't like a clean tidy desk :p ironically it is an organised mess, screwdrivers and whatnot on the right, capacitors/ICs/leds/etc. on the left, memory in front. :)

Anyone here use the IKEA LED dioder strips for their ambient backlighting? What's the best way to attach those to the desk?

I'd probably use something similar to the way they secure the cable in some UK plugs, a white strip of soft plastic tightened over the top of the wire by two screws either end, only replace "wire" for "LED strip" and "plug" for "desk"

I have the IKEA Dioders, they come with slide-through fixing points with screws and they also come with double sticky pads... so I attached one set to my wall using the fixing points and screws and I put another set on the underside front edge of my glass desk with the pads.

Hmm. I don't remember seeing those in the packaging, I'll have to take a look again, if not I can easily buy some. I was worried double stickies might burn, but if you're using them, I'll check them out.

Thanks! :)

EDIT: Yep, they're there. Sweet. I'll try those out!

Not the dioder strips I was talking about! :p

    • This is why competition must exist. Finally, pressure is mounting on Microsoft to move in the right direction.
    • Microsoft is making Windows 11's context menus faster, simpler, and configurable by Taras Buria Five years ago, Windows 11 introduced redesigned context menus, offering users a simpler, more modern design. However, customers quickly discovered that the new menus leave a lot to be desired. Many are unhappy with performance (they are really slow), while others dislike the double-layed design, where many options are hidden behind the "Show more options" button. In addition, over the years, menus became cluttered and overloaded. While Microsoft has already fixed plenty of pain points across Windows 11, context menus remain mostly unchanged. Fortunately, Microsoft is finally listening. Marcus Ash, Design and Research Lead for Windows at Microsoft, responded to a tweet on X, confirming that the company is working on fixing Windows 11's context menus. Reworked context menus are supposed to be faster, simpler by default, and "configurable to what you use most." What the latter means is unknown, just like whether Microsoft plans to keep the classic menu alongside the modern one, but according to Marcus, the wait should finally be over soon, as he promised to "share our approach soon." Improved context menus will most likely appear first in Windows 11 preview builds in the Experimental Channel. While we wait for Microsoft to release them, you can try fixing context menus on your PC with a simple tool called Windows 11 Context Menu Manager. It lets you disable entries you do not need, not only cleaning up context menus, but also making them significantly faster. Microsoft has already improved Windows 11's Start menu and taskbar, so hopefully it will address user criticism of the context menu as well. Stay tuned for new Windows 11 preview builds, which usually arrive every Friday.
