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

Input Director 1.2.1 for communication between windows PCs

Synergy for communication between Windows and MacOS X

Other Hardware:

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. :)

    • Nvidia GeForce NOW gains support for seven more games as discounts continue by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe There's a brand-new update rolling out to Nvidia's GeForce NOW streaming service, and like every week, that means more games have received support on the platform. This week's drop has additions like Aphelion and Pro Cycling Manager 26 attached to it. Don't forget that the GeForce NOW summer sale is still active too. This limited-time offer drops the 12-month Performance membership from $99.99 to $64.99, saving members $35. At the same time, the 12-month Ultimate membership is currently going for $129.99, dropping the price by $70 from the original $199.99. Moreover, Nvidia reiterated that support for GOG single sign-in and game library is incoming this summer, joining stores like Steam, Ubisoft Connect, Battle.net, and Xbox. "Connect supported game store accounts and stream titles with GeForce RTX power. Games that include cloud-save functionality help keep progress intact across devices," added the company. "Start a game on one screen, pick up where playtime left off on another, and spend less time managing installs and storage space." Here are the games joining GeForce NOW's supported list this week: Embers of the Uncrowned Demo (New release on Steam, available 13) Pro Cycling Manager 26 (New release on Steam, available June 15) Aphelion (Steam) Citizen Sleeper (Epic Game Store, Free from June 18-25) Megastore Simulator (Steam) OPERATOR (Steam) Super Meat Boy 3D (Xbox, available on Game Pass) Keep in mind that, unlike subscription services like Game Pass or EA Play, a copy of a game must be owned by the GeForce NOW member (or at least have a license via PC Game Pass) to start playing via Nvidia's cloud servers. There is also a limit to how many hours subscribers can use the service per month, with extra time being purchasable in chunks.
    • 47% profit margin? Wtf!! I know companies are in business to make money but come on man. I know for a fact I'll never own one of these.
    • Most AI-powered mainframe migration vendors expected to fail by 2030, Gartner warns by Paul Hill Credit: Pexels You may have read that many companies still run code written in ancient programming languages like COBOL and pay a handsome sum for those who can maintain that code. Well, it looks like this area of the tech world could be the scene of an AI bubble. It turns out that there are mainframe exit vendors, helping companies move their legacy mainframe systems to modern cloud environments or servers such as Microsoft Azure and AWS, using generative AI tooling. Unfortunately, 75% of these vendors are now expected to pivot or cease operations as market realities take hold by 2030. Alessandro Galimberti from Gartner said: Some of the companies in the mainframe exit market are IBM, 21CS, BMC, Broadcom, Rocket Software, DXC, GTSG, and Kyndryl. The reasons some of these firms are expected to quit the market are a reset of market expectations and a decline in demand for one-size-fits-all migration solutions. The reset in expectations is likely to be driven by cost overruns and threats to business, and the potential occurrence of critical failures within businesses as a result of bad transition implementations. These insights from Gartner are pretty interesting because it’s a specific area of the market where doubt is being cast on generative AI. Many people have cast doubt on whether AI companies will successfully justify the massive amounts spent on GenAI to date, and this data from Gartner suggests the road could be rocky for GenAI.
