Been a while since we had one of these threads, so I thought it might be fun. So, if you feel like participating, kindly furnish a picture of the place from whence you post on NS, work, surf for porn and so on. Feel free to label things if you think it's not clear what they are, lest people ask you questions, which they of course may.

I'll get us started:

Oh, I could never have such a tiny space....

From left to right:

Cable Box

Game consoles
Main computer

Other computer

The desks are in an L-shape, with the bend around where my main computer is.

I lack a desk.

I lack a desk.

Yet you still have some place you put your computer. Post a pic of that place, be it your lap or your mother's.

But I have no camera. Sorry.

Yay. A desk of power, that with that orientation looks a bit uncomfortable for your legs... wait, what - a gilded radiator? I am scared and impressed.

So close.

I am not bound to desks like most folks. No, I compute wherever the fuck I feel like it. Right now it happens to be an armchair.

And yes, being an asshole and having you turn your head at an uncomfortable angle rather than rotate the picture myself is part of my plan.

Eh, I'm short, the height's not uncomfortable. As for the radiator -- work in progress. Eventually I'm having covers made for that one and the ones in the bedrooms. (The painter chose gold -- he believed it would look better with the desert sand walls than the traditional silver.)

My workplace is currently consisting of a desk and some more furniture with: 2 laptops, 1 server, 3 printers, a VOIP phone, a scanner, a network switch, an ADSL modem, a KVM switch, and a really really incredible amount of cables connecting the whole lot, and this all adorned with a shredder, two (weighing) scales, a paper cutter, and a gigantic mess of pens, pencils, tape, boxes of envelopes, labels, paper, and what the hell else one uses in an office.

Edit: it doesn't all fit into one picture, but this (http://img530.imageshack.us/img530/7875/myworkplacezx9.jpg) is the best I can do.

I like the radiator as is, almost steampunk-ish.

Wow I have exact same table as you. Small world.

My desk is actually an entertainment center that I modified into a desk. It work pretty well. Inside has sliding platform on which I put my keyboard. behind I have a flat screen monitor, cable modem and router and 2 dell speakers. On the shelf above a computer and storage drawers. Below I have a few drawers. Storage everywhere because that is what I need.

And just goes to show: we both have similar tastes in furniture. And/or similar budgets.
I was very amused when I escorted some students to be interviewed on a cable TV show and the very same table was sitting in the green room.... :-D

I think the "eye box" is the black tin on the corner of the desk? In which case it's a tin of Jack Daniel's Coffee. Delicious.

The 3 jacket is actually a Boston Bruins hockey jersey, number 37. Probably my favorite article of clothing.

And the chair is microsuede...probably could use a good cleaning, since it's some 5 years old now.

The green tumbler is my main drinking glass; the knife sticking out of it is my main stirring/swallowing* knife because it is too damn blunt for anything else; the blue box contains my sharpening stone (for the knives I actually need to keep sharp); the black cable ascending toward heaven is my ethernet cable.
Also pictured, speakers, paper towels, a funnel, computer mouse, a frog prince, a blob of clay, headphones, calculator, masking tape, and mystery cables.

Interesting. You're a Swedish doctor who studied medicine in a Swedish school and yet a significant number of your books are in English.

You have, incidentally, excellent taste in literature.

Swedish is a small language with not a lot of speakers, medical students that speak the language are an even smaller number of people. Hence Swedish medical textbooks tend to be either a lot more expensive than English ones or just not exist because they wouldn't be profitable. So a lot of my books are in English, with my anatomical atlas in German and some other things in French, with bits and pieces in Swedish. It's always been like this, only that the lingua franca used to be Latin, then German, then French and so on. The annoying thing is the anglophone world doesn't use Latin for medical terms (instead they fake it with pseudo-Latinised English), while the rest of us do, so that explains the German anatomical atlas.

Thank you, by the way.

What is the funnel for?
For channeling liquid or fine-grained substances into containers with a small opening. Without a funnel, much spillage would occur.

My desk - the computer on the left is actually owned by one of my housemates, but I use it so I can play Company of Heroes against him and another housemate without it being vastly lagtastic - my now rather elderly Dell just can't cut the mustard with basically any modern game, which is a shame.

Other junk you can see is a few sprues from a WH40K model I'm trying to convert but not really getting around to do it, as well as the contents of my pockets, iPod and my AirSoft gun. Yes, I know, it's bloody green...

Yeah, it was pretty funny. Made me think for a second about it. Probably funnier in concept than in reality, but lots of South Park is that way. :)

I'm loving the hot pink monitor, and is that a mandolin to the left of the guitar?

Computer games, a lot of the time. One of my housemates has one that has more buttons than you have fingers on one hand for this reason.

Then luckily, I don't play games that require more than either a keyboard or a simple mouse interface.
I can press 5 keys at once, if necessary, but my mousing accuracy is about in the range where I'd move it to New York on a world map, and end up clicking somewhere in Texas. having to use all kinds of buttons on all sides only aggravates that.

It's also hindered somewhat by people having the mouse sensitivity turned up massively high, so the slightest breath of air or muscluar twitch sends the pointer right across the screen. This can cause havoc on a lot of computer games.

I prefer the old two-button and roller-thingy mouse, although I can't stand roller-balls. I've spent too much of my time picking out the gunk that collects in them in order to make them function properly again.

Well for one, I've programmed the two extra buttons to be "back" and "forward", which is handy while surfing.

That's not excessive at all. That sounds like a good mouse. Is it laser or optical?

I have no idea, to be honest. Might even be a roller-ball, but I doubt that.

Was it naïve of me to think the bong an ugly vase? Or respectful of you? And kleenex and lube under the table are noted... ;)

I didn't even notice it lol.

No photos - no camera. However, the desk has a corkboard back upon which I have pinned various Dilbert comics, a printer, and the monitor. Directly within vision are several Demotivators. Keyboard slides out on a tray, tower sits underneath.

Yeah, I've tried using other things, but sometimes only a fingernail has the accuracy to get some of the crap out.

Nah, that would be fun but then I can't reach it when something goes wrong. Eventually my keyboard will be on some sliding planclike thingy under the tracks (behind the chair) and all will be well.:p

My mouse has five buttons, but I only ever use the main three. The two little ones on the side are too much work to get too (it is much easier just to Shift-Click, or whatever). If my mouse had more than five buttons, it would probably start to intimidate me, and that would irreversibly shift the balance of power in my room.

I cannot work out how people manage with small desks.

How do you? :-P I have two tables put together so they form an L. And every square cm is filled, be it CDs, CD cases, DVD cases, paper, pens, a placemat with bottles (today, no empty ones - I call that "cleaned"). Oh, and postcards and invoices I paid via e-banking.

I agree. The only reason you could see the top of the desk in my picture was that I only moved into this house about 36 hours ago (12 at the time of picture) and hadn't had a chance to properly mess it up.

Now, however it is a different story.

Nothing special.

I would totally take a picture of my work station right now, just to stay on topic... if I had a camera. But I don't. >_>

Been a while since we had one of these threads, so I thought it might be fun. So, if you feel like participating, kindly furnish a picture of the place from whence you post on NS, work, surf for porn and so on. Feel free to label things if you think it's not clear what they are, lest people ask you questions, which they of course may.

I'll get us started:

My husband made me a table out of a piece of reclaimed wood and some table legs. I sanded it and painted it white.....it's functional. It's also piled really high with crap right now so I'll spare you the pictures.

I'm not finished it yet, but I'm not terribly impressed with it. Not that it isn't a good book, just as of yet it isn't as profound as the people who have recommended it to me have claimed. We'll see how it pans out.

Know what you mean. I've always considered Western Europeans (minus the Islands) to have the same sort of temperament, or at least the ones I've know from France (even though the ones I know grew up here), Germany, and Holland.

I took a picture with a real camera that turned out well, but I can't find the cord that connects the camera to the computer. So here's a picture taken by the crappy camera on an old MacBook.

Oh, come now. The world's best supply of broken glass and free marbles!

I have yet to figure out how to use my digital camera. My "work/play" station is a tiny computer desk, shaped like a rounded crescent. My monitor, a speaker (semi-functional), a vase full of non-working pens, a lamp, a book of Shakespeare's plays, an empty cracker box, some used tissues, my cell phone and a mini-organizer full of old bills reside on it. There's a tall bookcase to the right filled with books, a mirror, tweezers and high-powered binoculars. On the left, on the floor is my computer, and to the left of that is a low table with the printer, a landline phone, printer paper, a phone book and a larger organizer with one cartridge of printer ink in it.

The book on top of the pile of tapes is the Anarchist Reader, for anyone that's interested or even noticed.

Are we talking about all the hot sex you promised me? Because that was supposed to stay between us, darlin'. ;)I'm not too good at that whole secret thing ... that pic of my workstation was from right after i got done IMing w/you.

Because the monitor is mounted way up on the wall?

I find the motivation for this praise of yours to be... cryptic. What in this makes me "more awesome" than I was? It's self-evident.

Oh, and, share your porn bench, bitch!

I don't have one. I abhore the idea of a dedicated space for a computer. I abhore the tangle of cords, and I would really rather all my furniture could be tucked into the closet if I so desired...I'm working on it. My porn 'station' is completely mobile. When my laptop is not nestled in my backpack, it's placed on any available surface.

Because the monitor is mounted way up on the wall?Either you're very short or the Dutch are very long but it isn't mounted high (at least I don't think so).:p

Pretty laptop, and functional with the numeric pad. You realise of course that your use of a spoon to eat pasta is an unforgivable faux pas, though.
it is a bit of a beast, but a pretty beast. but how so is using a spoon incorrect? i thought that was the proper way to do it :confused:


Oooohhh, nice laptop. What model is that, how much was it and is it any good? :p

thanks! its a Dell XPS M1730 with SLI graphics, RAID striped HDDs and 4Gb of ram. its used for work and for home, for light video editing, web design, desktop publishing, graphic design... pretty much anything, so it had to be a pretty powerful thing. also had to use it for presentations (so it had to be a laptop). iirc it was about £2k, sometime last year.

Wine is fantastic, provided it's done right. "Folk" wines, or "country" or fruit wines are very popular here (meaning wines not made from grapes), although I suspect you can find a great many tasty foreign wines in Boston. Of course, since it's $6.49 for a bottle of Great Lakes Red it doesn't have to be spectacular.

Unibroue makes fantastic beers, and I hope it gets stocked more locally. Of course, in a town of 35,000 (twice that if including students) one can only expect so much...

We have a pretty great wine selection in Boston, depending where you go. The real problem is I don't really have much knowledge...I have tons of training in beer, however.

The larger cultural icons above the screen are (l to r): Ganesh, geisha, Mike Hailwood replica Ducati, Ned Kelly armour.

For the drinkers among you, the glass to the left of the keyboard contain water. Yes, water. It's hot today.

The old box under the screen is an obsolete 386 - I don't know why I haven't thrown it out. The top of the actual box can be seen just below the telephone on the left. As explained elsewhere the desktop image is Auntie Witch from The Girl Who Leapt Through Time.

Melbourne to Dunedin is more than its worth.
