Re-Jigged my desk again.. I like it more than the last two attempts.
Macbook pro on the left, can’t close the screen at the moment for a reason i’ll explain in a later post. It’s driving the 24-inch dell in the middle.
On the right is a 19-or-20-inch Dell LCD driven by the dual xeon linux workstation under my desk. It’s running ubuntu at a pitiful resolution at the moment because i can’t find a PCI-E 8x graphics card. Stupid diminutive slots.
In the lower left is my new MSI Wind, which i should post a review of at some point. It’s running Windows XP because i know the wifi card is troublesome in both Linux and OSX – i need wifi working when i’m in Berlin, so i’ll tinker with it after i’m back.

pyramid


It’s a pyramid made out of blu-tac. Maybe one day it’ll be huge.
new desk


Here’s my new desk too. Looks a bit to the way it looked a few days ago. New desk which is finally suitable for my height (6’4), new monitor (24″ Dell), new laptop stand (griffin elevator), new speakers (cheap logitech 2.1 set), new mouse (logitech laser), new server (HP Proliant) and the corner of a new motherboard which i have to send back!

Note the 500gig western digital external drive fits perfectly under the griffin elevator. Weee.

matrix screensaver


I know i know, but i couldn’t resist! Who doesn’t love The Matrix screensavers?
I’ve stuck on this meagre little desk till i can find a better replacement, so i may as well have some fun!
Also on the desk:
a 16GB ipod touch, a sony ericsson k850i, a nintendo ds lite, painkillers, vitamins, juggling bags, a WD 500GB external drive, an 8GB flash drive, an ipod dock, my wallet, and the macbook pro is sitting on this book.
