This is my workstation. I spend many an hour here. My wife says I would rather make love to my computer, than I would to her. I say if you could play music, surf the net, download a file, and not complain about it once.... Things could be different! LOL!! But she spends alot of time here also. But it's still a work in progress. I change things pretty much on a weekly basis. Hope you guys and girls like the pics. Any feedback would be appreciated. Have fun!! :p

My desk @ work. Been pretty much unchanged for months except for the addition of my MacBook which is now the only computer I travel with. Basically the desktop has the keyboard and mouse connected and using Synergy/Input Director I can cross to the other computers. The HP Laptop is the primary development computer while the Dell Laptop is used for my database work. Desktop runs the show and the Mac is just used for email in the office. I have a clone of my HP machine in VMWare on the MacBook for when I am away from my desk and need to work.

Computers:

MacBook Pro 13" 2.53 -- Mac OSX Snow Leopard

HP Elitebook -- Windows 7 Enterprise x64

Dell Latitude D820 -- Windows 7 Enterprise x86

Dell Optiplex -- Windows 7 Enterprise x64

Monitors:

2x Dell 19" 1280 x 1024

3x Dell 17" 1280 x 1024

Did you screw your centre speaker to the wall? Looks like something hanging off of it?

Wanted to minimize the holes that I put in the wall to mount the display, its one big bolt into a stud and the display is hanging from a braided cable via the mounting bolts on the back.

it's funny seeing everyone's clean and tidy desks and rooms.. reality all of our desks look like this one or close to it.. Props for having the balls to post this!

Haha, yeah, as long as I can reach the keyboard and mouse easily then I'm not bothered about the rest of the desk!

I'm cringing at the sight of the dirty ice cream (?) bowl and sandwich plate. Surely they're not on your desk at this very moment, Jimmy? :D

It was chocolate ready brek actually. ;) And no, any plates and bowls are from the same day, I always take them back downstairs to wash at night. :)

Where did you find that Cupcake bank? 'Cos I wants it. NOW. :)

Thanks!

Haven't got a clue, the girlfriend got it for me for Christmas. However my flatmate did spot it the other day and asked whether I got it from New Look. So perhaps try there.

I decided to not be lazy and googled around for some alternatives for US based stores. Thank you though. :)

    • I bought this game. Played it for an hour, and then got a refund from Steam. Not a fun game at all.

    • Forza Horizon 6 gets another hotfix for one of the game's online modes by Taras Buria Recently, Forza Horizon 6 players discovered an interesting glitch that allowed farming a crazy amount of in-game credits in a few minutes. Playground Games quickly pulled the plug on the exploit by disabling one of the game's online modes, and today, the studio is rolling out another hotfix. In my review, I complained about the game still showering gamers with cars, credits, and wheelspins. As such, earning money in Forza Horizon 6 is not a particularly difficult task. You simply have to play the game, crazy, I know. However, people still found an easier path to becoming a billionaire in Forza Horizon 6. All you had to do was purchase the Hummer EV, install a specific tune, shift in reverse while going at about 15 MPH, hit a wall, and get launched into the stratosphere at the speed of light. While mid-air, launch Eliminator and quickly get eliminated. Boom, the game just awarded you with a few million in-game credits. Initially, Playground Games disabled Eliminator to prevent people from farming credits. Now, following the release of the first balancing update, developers are rolling out a new update that re-enables Eliminator and gives users a free McLaren Sabre as a gesture of goodwill. Here is the changelog: One critical issue remains unpatched, though. There are quite a few reports of the game wiping gamers' saves, and developers are still looking into that. To avoid potential data loss, Playground Games recommends taking one of the steps outlined in a previously published support article.
