My mom doesn't drink coffee either, and tea only when there are visitors. No other caffeinated stuff either. I guess I just never 'learned' to drink it. I don't mind :p

If you decide to try coffee, don't go to Starbucks, that tastes like hot dirty water, go to a local coffee shop and try some of the real thing

I think were all better off without coffee. The diet of most people these days mean they are burning sugar rather than fat. Once the sugar runs out you need more and have a drop in energy levels. Burn fat and it lasts longer and you don't get tired.

I say all this but I still drink coffee and eat sugar but try to keep it as low as possible. Sugar really is the worst thing ever.

My cousin works for Starbucks. She is actually a manager there. I assure you, they use real stuff.

Most of the sugar we intake is that artificial stuff.

I want one of those Wedge Keyboards. Are they any good?

Yes, its small but the keyboard is solid - does not rock or move around on the desk at all and the keys are nice and fluid. I develop software for a living (work from home) so use this keyboard a good deal and have had no problem at all. The wedge mouse is also very good but it takes some learning; both very good products. The mouse is a great for some and others hate it; so try it at a local store but the keyboard is a must buy imho.

I don't have everything like that sitting on the desk of course, but these are what i use.

one of these things is not like the others.....

Here's a rough panorama shot from my phone showing my current workstation. After the holidays, I want to tear the rest of the wallpaper off, repaint, and install new flooring.

In case anyone wondered:

Keyboard - QPAD MK-50 Mechanical Keyboard

Mouse - Corsair M60

Its my first mechanical keyboard and I will never look back. I would love to have one at work instead of those lame HP membranes.

    • Any decent ITSM will A) have a web form that allows a user to raise a ticket, if you're writing an email you can write a ticket. B) Monitor a mailbox and auto-generate tickets based on inbound mails for those users that really can't get their heads around the concept that if you have an issue you go to support.mycompany.com and fill in the box. From your description you're having users email the desk, and then having a human read each one and manually raise a ticket on behalf of the user.

    • I've never even heard of this browser before seeing this article. How does it differ from other browsers?
    • Fixing things? Have you ever tried linux? Everything works out of the box nowadays in most common hardware. This includes Wifi and Bluetooth. If anything, if they return back to windows is because they haven't found an equivalent program which often used on windows.
