How cluttered is your computer space: Pic thread

My Space

[HopeHoops]

1. Dang - with all those CD/DVD stacks, I'm thinking...

That's a SHITLOAD of PORN!

[MrScorpio]

2. I wish

However, I won't tell you how much the RIAA might want to get to know me

[HopeHoops]

3. I knew there was a catch

"It is just old Partridge Family songs - HONESTLY!"

[MrScorpio]

4. No, I haven't gone that far yet

But I do have quite a few songs that will never end up on my radio show

[HopeHoops]

5. HOWEVER - If you EVER find yourself with ANYTHING by Donnie Osmond...

Check yourself into rehab IMMEDIATELY!

[MrScorpio]

7. Nope, I'm safe

I will say that I have most of the songs that I post YouTube videos of

My choices come from experience

A lot of them are never posted

I know, I've looked

[mwooldri]

47. I just know you're backing up The Pirate Bay for when they get taken down. nt

[Deja Q]

6. . .

[MrScorpio]

8. How would I know YOU would harbor a colony of Daleks?

Hmmmm, any idea?

[Archae]

57. That's MY computer on the screen, too!

:rofl:

[madinmaryland]

9. Is there a reason why there is a towel on the chair?

:evilgrin:

[MrScorpio]

11. Not really...

Old habit from when I had a crappy chair

[qnr]

38. You know, I didn't even think the towel was unusual, but the fact that the boats

were upside-down caught my attention immediately, for some reason.

[Dinger]

10. Mine:

I've posted it before. It's not that neat right now:

[Critters2]

13. Not that neat?!

You can tell what your desk is made of! In my world, that's down right anal obsessive!

[Dinger]

15. I Mean Right Now, That Pic Was Taken In Summer

Note the green leaves on the other side of the window.

[DeepBlueC]

19. that's a lovely cozy spot with a great leafy view...

I'd be very happy noodling at that desk! :D

[Dinger]

20. It's A Neat View In The Winter Too

It's upstairs, so it's like I'm in a little treehouse:)

[DeepBlueC]

23. I know...I do love the wood

I have never got with the Dentist Office Modern Aesthetic

[rainbow4321]

22. Geez, looks like something out of a home and garden magazine

Cozy and homey looking

[Tripper11]

12. Here's mine. After ferrets attacked!

And then cleaned up.

[qnr]

29. Wow... quite the mess. Good thing for all concerned that they didn't do any

nibbling.

[pokerfan]

14. Dude, get yourself a storage system for your cds

I've used these for years:

[gmoney]

46. Boy, that guy sure likes the Dave Clark Five and Deep Purple...

I mean "Glad All Over" is a great song, but damn!

[leeroysphitz]

16. Not too bad. No beer bottles for a change...

[qnr]

42. How come you don't have a monitor?

Oh... wait... sorry - I thought that was a wall! :)

[kentauros]

17. This is a little cleaner than normal.

I "straightened" it up a little bit last night, moving some stacks of papers to another flat surface, out of frame

[qnr]

43. Seeing post-it notes on computer monitors always bring a chuckle :) n/t

[kentauros]

52. And I've been doing it since I've had a computer monitor to stick them to,

all the way back to that old C-64 TV/monitor :D

Now if I can remember to look at them, or why I wrote what I did on them...

[texanwitch]

62. I use post-it notes.

I keep my passwords on them.

I have to many passwords to keep straight.

Nice desk you have there.

[Bossy Monkey]

18. I am my computer space; I take the term 'laptop' a little too seriously.

Nobody ever got through to me why they're called notebooks now. One of these days I'll be setting myself on fire. (Unintentionally, mind you.)

[rainbow4321]

21. Here's mine

And that little black thing to the left of the 'puter is my "while on the train and at work" access---my blackberry :)





And the permanent fixture to my right while I am sitting here:



My other little one checking out DU:

[qnr]

45. My Glowing Green Eyes say: "You will give me a treat." - and the little one says: "Hey, loosen your

grip! Everything's turning pink!"

[SoDesuKa]

24. With the Able Assistance of . . .

My work bench is ship shape with the able assistance of . . .



My cat, Gracie

[qnr]

41. No ma'am, that's not cat hair; that's ummmm... airflow efficiency testing filaments! n/t

[Whoa_Nelly]

25. Life's a Beach

Towel!

Looks productive there! :hi:

[qnr]

26. Cluttered enough for you? - Embarrassingly enough, this doesn't even show my

"main" computer. (You can click on the photo to access the full-size version - and any notes that I'll be adding)

[targetpractice]

30. I assume your Amiga is off-camera...

and, you have some good reason for showing us your Atari instead?

ON EDIT: Oops! My bad. I thought that was an Atari ST not an XE!

I had an Atari 800 then Amiga 500 then Amiga 3000. I was never a fan of the Atari ST series.

Nice knee, BTW!

[qnr]

32. Actually, my Amigas are in storage in Maine. That's a TT in the background

though. Me, I like both the STs/TTs and the Amigas. Basically, the Amiga was an Atari anyway, the Amiga Lorraine was the Atari 1600, developed by Jay Miner (developer of the Atari 400 and 800) and crew and funded by Atari, but bought out by Commodore. Funny thing is, Atari was working on the "High Sierra" (or perhaps just Sierra, I forget) computer that would have blown the Atari ST and Commodore Amiga out of the water, but when Jack Tramiel bought Atari, he fired everyone and closed all research projects and didn't even hear about High Sierra until years later.

Edit: Yeah :) extraneous knee inclusion is a hazard of a 14mm lens heheh

[targetpractice]

36. I don't know anyone else who knows that stuff!

Hah! Nice to meet you!

I was hardware purist... firmly in the Miner chipset camp... First I owned an Atari 800... Then Atari 1200XL... Then years later... I became appreciative of the AmigaOS and it's multitasking... I avoided Windows altogether and tolerated MacOS because I was a graphics designer. When MacOS X was introduced... I was excited by computers again... like my old Amiga days.

I've never known anyone who actually owned an Atari TT... but my friend used to make the coolest music with his ST (until the floppy with his MIDI software finally wore out in the mid 90's).

Nerdily yours,

Target Practice

[qnr]

37. Nice to meet you too!

Well, I went the Atari ST route first because I didn't have a lot of money and couldn't buy both at once. Since I wasn't into games and and I was more involved with high resolution monochrome graphics, the output of Atari's monochrome monitor hooked me immediately. I bought numerous other Ataris (ST, STe and variations, Mega ST, TT) and 3 Amigas (A500 and two A2000s) over the years.

I bought both a 400 and an 800 within two months of each other in 1979 (they were much cheaper in the military exchange catalog at the time). I'm glad you've found happiness with MacOS X - I like what I've heard. For me, even though I've been heavily involved in computers since 1979, I've never personally owned a Mac or Windows machine (though I did own an Atari Portfolio), preferring alternates like those mentioned, and offbeat ones like Oberon, Minix, and many others.

31. Why did I think we were the only house with 4 screens, 4 puters,

and a dozen puter parts in one end of the room?

[qnr]

33. We have to keep the tradition alive - we don't want "utensils" darn it!!! :) n/t

[Dont_Bogart_the_Pretzel]

27. Mine was pretty messed up till my SO got a new monitor and "let" me have hit old one.

[qnr]

34. Nice. Are you left-handed? Just wondering about the setup with the relationship

of the keyboard, mouse and the monitor with the taskbar being to the left.

[Dont_Bogart_the_Pretzel]

50. Both ,

If you must know.......... :9
I'm left handed but hammer/drill/t.v remote control with my right hand. I like to have my right elbow supported when I'm doing a lot of computing.

Also the taskbar was on the left monitor because this set-up is new. Getting TwinView set-up can be tricky sometimes. I finally got the Taskbar on the right and use Opera/email on the left screen and have Firefox/DU on the Right.


But thanks for askin.

[JimGinPA]

28. Mine's Pretty Messy...

But I multi-task...

[qnr]

40. Interesting... though I'm not sure I'd put my CDs/DVDs practically over a radiator :) n/t

[SeattleGirl]

35. Mine:

I perch on the couch when I'm on the intertubz, and put my laptop on a board.

[qnr]

39. The board is probably a sound idea... that puppy looks like it can generate some heat. n/t

[SeattleGirl]

44. Not to mention the fact that I actually don't like putting my laptop

directly on my lap. :)

[Mugu]

48. Picked it up and cleaned it up for this photo.

Edited to add: Unseen in the photo is 3 Infinity sub-woofers and another Adcom 555 for the rear speakers.

[cboy4]

49. Mine three days behind on work. Boy is my face red.

[tekisui]

53. OMG!

:wow: Is that for real?

[cboy4]

54. I found it on the internets so it has to be true!

lol

[XemaSab]

56. You would DIE if you saw my old statistics prof

DIE I tell ya.

There was a path into the office... and the path was seasonally closed. x(

[Left Is Write]

51. My computer space is currently the kitchen table, so not cluttered at all.

I may move the computer later. I usually have it in whatever room I'm in. :D

[Rising Phoenix]

55. here is me

[XemaSab]

58. This is where the party's at

[TrogL]

59. I can move the mouse about 3" in any direction. I have to reach under papers to get to the keyboard

The bottom inch of both monitors is obscured by accumulated crap eg. bags of crackers.

Apparently I own a printer and it's on the desk but I haven't seen it in years.

[ashling]

60. My Sanctum Sanctorum

[texanwitch]

61. My desk was messy, now it is nice and neat.

I bought a small plastic storage unit from Target and all stuff that was on the desk is in the storage unit.

My desk will stay neat.

I promise.

I like being able to find things.

I have a new lap top coming soon so I neede the extra space for the new printer that is coming with it.

Two laps tops and two printers plus a dvd/recorder, a dvd player, and my little ten inch digtial tv stacked on each other.

Yes I am turning neat.
