LoL 40hz! That's a cool video!

[Deozaan]

I have 2 nvidia graphics cards, each with 2 DVI connectors.  I think its one GT8600 and one GT8800, all four running at 1600x1200 (no SLI or other special connection).

So, why the powerful video cards if not for gaming?

Most places will let you get a replacement monitor if there are more than 10 dead pixels. I'd look into it and get them replaced if possible!

Here's a great idea. Sometimes the best therapy is to get busy! Check out the following for a "terrific" DIY home office project:

I watch the Red Green Show every week - they got the new series going a while ago and it is just as funny and... "educational" as ever. Be right back, gotta go put out the fire...

So how many of you actually had to clean off your desk before you took the picture?  I don't know of too many techs in my area that are actually neat.

OK - I'll play too (no tidying ... well if I had this image would be really worrying!):

[cthorpe]

Ok, here's mine...



Lots of crap... and this is on a good day.  I know some of you cleaned up before taking your pictures.  There is no way that many geeks are that clean.

well Carol, that's tidy in my books
have a look here -

overflowing with old bank statements in the overexposed part
I can even say relatively tidy, (thanks Carl )

[Carol Haynes]

Ah but you can't see the heap of cables and crap hidden by the pile of books obscuring my scanner!

I had already posted my desktop at my home, but I'm now on exams, thus I'm at my parents'.
So, here's how my desk at my parents' looks.


Notice that on the left there's more pink stuff and marker pens, because that's my sister's side at MY desk, she's been there for the past couple weeks, to study for her exams and easily ask for my help. My half goes up to the "distributed systems:concepts and design" book, which was the book I studied for yesterday's exam (which went pretty well ) and I'll be packing somewhere soon
Also interesting is that neither one of the laptops is the one I posted on the previous picture, since that one is now with Acer (and has been for the past 3 weeks) for the third time to replace the hdd with a new one (they keep sending it back with used disks, which I easily break in less than one week).

PS: You have a great taste for in computer mice, Carl!

PS2: I thought you might like to see what's outside those 2 windows, so I posted a quick panorama view (courtesy of hugin!), attached to this post.

Taste for or taste in?

Pretty huge pic there, jgpaiva - I had to download and rescale it to get a decent overview

It's really fun to see all the desktops! Each one has a different personality.
I do think though that we are going to have to start a new thread entitled "How to clean up your work space in 10 easy steps"..

But I think it's safer not to allow Carl and 40hz to post on that thread, or they might teach bad examples!

PS: updated my post above. f0dder: doh!

I could tell you how in 2 steps:

1. purchase a rubbermaid storage bin
2. put all the crap in the bin

Now, if/when you can't find something, check the bin.

As time goes on, the stuff you need most and have used recently, will be near the top, and all the old useless stuff will sink to the bottom.

For fun, clean out the bin, to the bottom, every 10 years. It will be like opening up a time capsule.

I usually just toss a match every few months and hope for the best.

P.S. To jgpaiva: Too Late!

Too many wires.

Another take:

1) Buy a desk with a few big drawers
2) Put the computer in the desk
3) Put the crap in the drawers

Works good for me

Hahaha, cool desk allen!

But you licked the batteries from all those pens first didn't you?

Yeah, but I could afford to, they don't charge much.
