I made a desk for my bedroom out of some scrap wood, and I'm damn proud of it. It doesn't wobble (too much) and one of the legs is about an 1/8 " too short, but hey, I'm no master carpenter.

So what have you done recently that you are proud of?
Please take this opportunity to brag about whatever you feel deserves attention.

Well let's see...I've dismantled a nearly 12 year relationship. Broken it up into pieces, waved legal documents over them, and voila!

Beat that, oh mighty desk maker. Just you try.

I've built a couple of websites but you don't get to see them because you'll contact my boss and tell him that I am slacking off at work as I peruse NSG! You jerk! Why would you do something like that? I can never trust you again.

um, well, I, er, I made the top smooth with sand paper...

You create, I destroy.

You are the hymen to my huge penis.

i built our company's intranet and gave a presentation on what to do with it this morning. quite pleased with it, even if all the features aren't quite there yet :)

another company we know got charged 80k for their new intranet and VPN access. the one i just did in 4 days has most of the features of their intranet, just no VPN. i think i'm in the wrong job :p


edit: i dislike these new smilies. rarrr.

We are old. We don't want change. It unnerves us.

I detest them as well.

Are you coming on to me? You know, there's something that I wanted to do with my desk that I haven't tried yet.

Sure. The problem is, my penis is detachable, and I haven't been able to find it lately. I'll call you when it shows up.

i'm considering digging up the old ones from my temp internet files just so i can use them in preference ;)

change is good when its other people doing the chaning. when i have to change i sulk and get grumpy :P

Well we don't both need a penis now do we. I think it will work.;)

I'm just taking the whole thing personally right now.

It isn't really naughty if we don't both have a penis.

good point. Wait, how is that going to work?

Sure, we could swordfight, but I think you should just bend over.

It's pretty simple.

nice little do-it-yourself-without-a-kit desk!

i just managed to find plane tickets from albuquerque to aruba in november for $616 each! with the price of airfare going up (my other sister got her tickets from tampa to aruba for $330 a few months ago, today its over $700) i was beginning to despair of ever getting there for less than $800 each.

albuquerque? It says your from FEMALE. Good job with those tickets though. Last minute flights are soooo expensive.

You sound like a pro, maybe you could teach me something.

oh i dont LIVE in albuquerque, thats just the closest commercial airport. i dont live in any town so FEMALE is as good a location as any.

Nice. I want a corner desk, something like that. Except I'd want foot rests under it, tilted at just the right angle to keep my legs elevated comfortably. Can't stand to sit with my feet on the floor.. very uncomfortable and hurts my legs after a while. For now I use a footstool .. but I'd prefer the tilted slat thing.

I just killed a fly that's been buzzing around the room and annoying me. Then I ate my hat in celebration, or at least I would have if I possessed a hat.

totally, I love bars that have those poles for your feet that run horizontally along the bottom. It just feels more natural resting your feet on that.

Nice desk! I'm duly impressed. =)

I got an A in my second-to-last masters exam today after some awful shoddy last minute studying. Now my brain is mush but that's about the only thing of note I accomplished in the last couple of weeks. That and actually doing the dishes a couple of times. :o

Oh, please do.

Yeah.

Your desk is crap. I could have made a much better desk with the materials you seem to have used. But I have had some professional training and I do a lot of study on the side for all sorts of shit from homemade lasers to homemade jet engines like the kind used in early cruise missiles. I'm going to try to make a plane next year with a single valveless pulsejet armed with twin sub-machine guns.

What? are you serious? Do you wanna be friends?

He called your desk crap. Where I come from, them's fighting words.

You should now respectifully show your disaproval by pursing your lips and making a comment about the weather. Like a good Canadian would.

Tis a fine desk indeed and don't let anyone tell you different.

Henceforth you shall be known throughout the lands as - Soyut the Deskmaker

We're not in the same state and it would only be a model. I'm not even sure the sub-machine guns would be legal and I don't want to get in trouble with the authorities. I mean, I know I'd need a lisence or something just to own them but I have no idea if they can be put in even a model plane. The model plane would probably be miniature of the He-162 because I've seen a model plane based off that Nazi plane fly with a valved and the engine placement would make replacing or repairing the engine easy.

The engine would almost certainly be a variant of Eric Beck's Advanced FWE, probably with a second intake. I'd also like to get my hands on a Chinese for comparison.

Fuck those pacifist Canadians! No fucking way, heres my plan:

I'm building a self-automated robot right now. I'm try to get it to avoid walls, but once I pass that hurdle, I'm gonna mount my handgun on it, wire a servo to the trigger and tape a laser pointer to it. Ever seen one of those at a shooting range?

Gonna take pictures (http://www.southparkstudios.com/episodes/103199/) while I'm out?

Now see, I don't know if bots with guns are legal and I don't want to get in trouble with the law. I've been accused of being a terrorist before for a lot less (HS was not kind to me) and I don't want that to happen again.

Hmm, i don't know if there are any laws about robots with guns. I'll have to look into it. It would sure break Asimov's 3 laws though, lol.

I wanna hear this story. oh man.

*steals your desk*

I painted a 20x20 room and didn't get any paint on me!

I also, epically failed to tape off a square and so hubby had to do that for me.......I did paint it though, and didn't get any paint on me!

Nice desk. I would have loved to make a new computer desk, but I don't have the skills. So I bought an Ikea Jerker (before Ikea discontinued it :mad: ).

I just killed a fly that's been buzzing around the room and annoying me. Then I ate my hat in celebration, or at least I would have if I possessed a hat.

Amateur, I killed two today.
