Been a few months since I last posted the home office. Got a new ThinkPad (W530) to replace the old T61p - mainly because of the number of VMs i'm now needing to run as it was running fine still even after almost 5 years!

Got once of the Nokia Bluetooth NFC wireless speakers a few months ago for free (it's beside the lamp) which is quite nice although the W530s speakers are pretty good so don't need to use it when i'm at home.

What drove you to put your computer over the radiator like that? Seems like you'd be more apt to having overheating issues, and burning your leg

Good point - I don't have this radiator turned on so it never gets hot. Radiators tend to be underneath windows so you don't have a choice in many buildings.

I've got a radiator on the wall where my desk is too, not many options in this room to set it out anywhere else though, doesn't seem to cause it any problems and the actual PC is on the floor away from the radiator so its just the screen really

Tada. Sort of uni dorm room. The second shot is what my lighting is usually like but phone cams don't like darkness. The big book is Head First Design Patterns (Java). Keyboard is a Microsoft Wireless Comfort Keyboard 5000 and I love it!

Dell U2412M on a Vaio Z13M9E (which is a beast, 13" ultrabook-ish thin'n'light with a DVD drive, 2xSSD in RAID0 and a GPU that can handle Assassins Creed 3 at 1920x1080 at very playable rates! Indeed, power in a tiny package.). I could use a multimon setup but the difference in DPI is too big and my laptop is too far to be able to read without glasses. Laptop is 1600x900@13", Dell is 1920x1200@24".

And the Starbucks cups are unused. I just like the holiday cups for the atmosphere. I also don't drink coffee, but Starbucks hot chocolate is pretty amazing. I pretty much only drink water and smoothies.

(PS: My laptop screen is dirty because teachers constantly touch it to point out things. After over a year I sort of don't bother cleaning it daily anymore.)

Well I think coffee is disgusting :p

I actually get around without any real amounts of caffeine at all. I don't drink coffee, tea, fizzy drinks, ... I survive on bread, vegetables, fruit and chicken :D

    • Microsoft is making Windows 11's context menus faster, simpler, and configurable

      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 TarasBuria · Posted

      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.

      We do it all the time on our IT Service desk mailbox to add a reference, in the subject line, once it's been logged and then it's filed into the appropriate sub-folder. Other companies probably do the same thing.
