Post your desk area. - Posted By Nick (nickb) on 11th Jan 10 at 3:30am
Figured I would make this since I just changed my room around, and have a few new things. {Tongue Out}

I'll get to mine later, but I have noticed recently that a lot of people use their beds! O.o

I couldn't do that, I'd fall asleep! =P

Re: Post your desk area. - Posted By Nick (nickb) on 11th Jan 10 at 3:55am
lol. I can't put my 32 inch TV on my bed, it'd fall over to much. xD and I can't risk it either.

But when my laptop was 1. I did. my bed was the big gap that you see (if you can) So that if I wanted to watch a movie or what ever, I can easily press a few buttons on my laptop. {Tongue Out}

Stab man looks like elmo in the picture. >_< and what kind of keyboard is that? o_O looks like a laptop's keyboard from the looks of it. O_o

Re: Post your desk area. - Posted By Michael (wrighty) on 11th Jan 10 at 5:12am
It's a mini-mac keyboard, wired.
http://apple.com/uk/keyboard - it's that, but wired, not wireless {Smile}

Re: Post your desk area. - Posted By Nick (nickb) on 11th Jan 10 at 5:31am
Nice, seems as apple is going slim all the way. The MacBook Air, now a slim keyboard, do they have a slim mouse too? xD

Re: Post your desk area. - Posted By Michael (wrighty) on 11th Jan 10 at 5:39am
Their new mouse is pretty awesome... http://apple.com/uk/mouse {Smile}

Re: Post your desk area. - Posted By Nick (nickb) on 11th Jan 10 at 5:59am
I was only kidding! xD >_< What will apple think up next? Very thin TV's? xD

Re: Post your desk area. - Posted By Ross (admin) on 11th Jan 10 at 11:20am
I might take a photo of mine when there's nobody else in the office - I'm sure you don't want to see them in the background {Tongue Out} I may have to tidy it up a bit first though - bits of paper all over it {Embarassed}

That keyboard looks far too small for me. I need big targets to aim for {Tongue Out}

Re: Post your desk area. - Posted By Michael (wrighty) on 11th Jan 10 at 5:36pm
You'd be surprised Ross, the keys are bigger than normal keyboard keys! {Wink}

Oh, it's just that it looked like a small keyboard, guess it's where it's just out of proportion. We have a small keyboard in the office (emergency use only) which I could never get the hang of using because of the size/closeness of the keys.

Re: Post your desk area. - Posted By Michael (wrighty) on 11th Jan 10 at 11:14pm
Same size as a normal mac keyboard. Except that it has no number pad, nor many of the delete/print screen keys. {Smile}

Nice. {Smile}

I like your setup there Anthony. {Smile}

Re: Post your desk area. - Posted By Nick (nickb) on 12th Jan 10 at 3:33pm
Ahh cool.

Re: Post your desk area. - Posted By Graham (amusedtodeath) on 12th Jan 10 at 10:47pm
Oh I see how it is... {Sad}


Eh?

I might be able to get a pic of my desk at work at some point, but i might wait until we have moved offices, when it'll be tidier and not so littered with coffee cups/pos-it notes {Tongue Out}


Re: Post your desk area. - Posted By Jason (frufru) on 13th Jan 10 at 12:40am
Wow Frufru -- You have some tidying up to do {Tongue Out}



I think that's about as tidy as my desk gets {Tongue Out}

Re: Post your desk area. - Posted By Nick (nickb) on 19th Jan 10 at 6:13pm
My new look. {Grin}

Re: Post your desk area. - Posted By Nick (nickb) on 20th Jan 10 at 2:57am
lol, well I can't put anything on top of the DVD player, it'll get to hot inside

So I have VHS > PS2 > DVD player

Re: Post your desk area. - Posted By Ross (admin) on 20th Jan 10 at 4:50pm
As you can see, I never got around to tidying the desk {Tongue Out}

Re: Post your desk area. - Posted By Nick (nickb) on 21st Jan 10 at 3:20am
Well not Nick. It'll be fine. If it does overheat I'll buy you a new one. You should do DVD > VCR > PS2

But it won't overheat.

And Ross >> Invite me over I'll help you tidy it up {Tongue Out} >>> And yes I would pay to fly to the UK...

And in sport of the topic, I have not updated my desk layout and won't be until I start building my new PC.


I'll do that when I get my PS3, as I wont be needing the DVD player. {Tongue Out} I can then buy blu-ray movies, and watch them. {Grin}

Re: Post your desk area. - Posted By Jason (frufru) on 21st Jan 10 at 6:45am
Oh yes, I feel that I should post this one as well:

http://frufru.ca/photos/workdesk.jpg

This was my desk at work last term, which may or may not be the same desk I'll be returning to in May. (I'll be returning to the same office though)

Re: Post your desk area. - Posted By ashkir (ashkir) on 21st Jan 10 at 8:45am
I should get around to cleaning these cups, food and cds off my desk and take a photo...

Seems a bit extreme {Tongue Out} Besides, I know where everything is on the desk {Cheesy}

Nobody else seems to have bothered tidying their desk first {Tongue Out}

I like the screen on the right {Cool} Is it just a widescreen one turned on it's side? Or is it something special?

Yep, it's just like the other one but turned on it's side. Makes code reading easier {Cheesy}

Not too cluttered, but this will change in a month or so when we move to the new office.

Re: Post your desk area. - Posted By Michael (wrighty) on 21st Jan 10 at 5:56pm
OOOO new office? {Shocked}

Far away or anything? {Tongue Out}

Not very good, because I'm in the basement, and it's not really lit up right now. {Tongue Out}

Re: Post your desk area. - Posted By Marc (cr0w) on 19th Jan 11 at 7:16pm
Here's my desk area at work; I'll have to get one of my area at home either tonight or next week at some point.

Re: Post your desk area. - Posted By Ross (admin) on 19th Jan 11 at 11:43pm
That is the tidiest desk I have ever seen. Are you sure you do any work at it? {Tongue Out}

Probably should do one of the office at some point. Will try to do it tomorrow after everyone else goes home (I doubt they want to be in it {Tongue Out} )

Re: Post your desk area. - Posted By justin (justin) on 20th Jan 11 at 12:13pm
o_O I wish mine was as neat as marc's.

I would take a picture of mine but it's a big mess {Tongue Out} .

That's just cause I shoved the huge pile of mess to the half of the desk that's not in the picture. {Tongue Out}

That explains a lot {Grin}

Am yet to have the office to myself, and people might think I'm weird if I start taking pictures of the place {Tongue Out}

At my work people are used to me taking random pictures of things; they usually end up in promotional material later on...they've stopped questioning it. {Tongue Out}

Here's half of my home desk area (and yes, I know it looks like I do more work at home than at work. {Tongue Out} ) -- I'll have to get a picture of my server setup over the next few days.

Marc what is your job like what do you do? ;p

Re: Post your desk area. - Posted By Marc (cr0w) on 6th Feb 11 at 7:32pm
 
Marc what is your job like what do you do? ;p


Quite a wide range of things, actually, haha.

My official job title is either Chief Technology Officer or Chief Information Officer (the two terms are fairly interchangeable), which is a fancy way of saying that I head up the tech department. The company owns a chain of online retail stores, as well as worldwide dealer networks and a small retail outlet in the city. My job involves maintenance/development of the various websites/servers (which are hosted with RackSpace) as well as the internal sales server which we host in-house. I also take care of the hardware side of things, such as upgrading computers or expanding our local network. At the moment there's only one other tech employee to who I delegate tasks when needed, but this spring I'll be training another tech employee to take the reigns when I leave.

I also do freelance work on the side, which is nice because I can work from bed. {Tongue Out}


Re: Post your desk area. - Posted By justin (justin) on 7th Feb 11 at 12:45am
Ah knew you did something.

Anyway so now I have a question I'm going to take Network Communications Technology next year for my Junbior year then senior year (which sounds like something you do) for my Junior Year I learn to build/repair computer , configure operating systems , and work in a helpdesk. Senior year we learn to configure/program routers and switches setup/adminster network systems, design/setup wireless networks. Just wondering if a job like this is actually "worth it" or if its something I will regret? As I only get one chance to do what I want, and Just because I know you will ask yes I am interested in stuff like that but question if its going to be any good.

This is getting fairly off-topic, so if you want to talk more in-depth about it feel free to shoot me a PM or make a new thread about it. {Wink}

As a quick answer to your question, however, it sounds like the course you'll be taking covers a wide range of things that would be good stepping stones for quite a few specific fields related to technology. Since technology's not going away any time soon, I'd say it's a pretty secure field to get into. {Tongue Out}
