grant, like i said, the iSub's behind the monitor:



i've never had anything like a newton, no palm, no psion.
heck, i still use a rolodex. i'd love to have an iPod though! not that i need one, it would just look cool on my iDesk :-)

But the most interest "gear" I see on Simon's desk is a T ruler.
I still have one myself, but haven't used it for a long time now.
Do you use that, Simon? Just curious.

Joshua, cool walls.

BTW, subwoofers go on wooden floors.

hhp

hrant,

my cool walls are just a result of removing 40 year old wood paneling(lots of glue)... my whole house is a construction zone.

you cant see it but i do have your archetype garamond type study on the oppisite wall


-j

Hey, cool.

hhp

eduardo, yes, i still use it a lot, mainly for cutting stuff out that i need for presentations. for cutting i use a regular surgical skalpel. haven't cut into any of my fingers for some years, thus not bleeding all over a presentation :-)

hrant, i know. the desk is made of wood, my feet are on the wooden floor. the system is mainly for internet radio anyway. i also have a regular hifi system with the subwoofer on the (wooden) floor in my studio, when i need to listen to some Helmet due to frustrating clients. my PS2 is also connected to it. a little GT3 gets my head clear inbetween jobs. i have some serious electro smog up here :-)

> grant, like i said, the iSub's behind the monitor

Oops. That last little bit of text you typed was off the screen when my window was smaller. My bad. Say, doesn't the iSub vibrate your pixels?

> Say, doesn't the iSub vibrate your pixels?

i do mostly print ;-)

Simon asked me to send in this office drawing I did last summer (which was very,very warm):

Tiny, hastilly tidied, my little space at home...

OK, I'll tidy up soon too...

OM, Steve, I don't think I'd be able to concentrate in this. :wink:

Whoa! I have an old Wacom tablet like that. Too bad it they won't update the driver for OSX. The Intuos 2 is fine, but that old 12x12 was really nice.

So many eeeeeeeevil mac users here. A pox on you all, a pox I say!

MWA HA HA HAHAHAHAH!


:D

I have the second smallest desk, after Steve. I may not have a cool 23" Cinema Display, but I do have the 17"er which is quite wonderful.

Sorry, Chris. You can't harm us here. We're safe inside our powerful Reality Distortion Field

Ha!

My desk is quite empty..



Normally its full of creative chaos items..

Ah, these workspaces are fun, but how many of you can claim a picture of Hobo on your wall?

the picture is great. who's the photographer?






David Hamuel

He's a friend of mine, a freelance photographer in Maryland named Jonathan Ferguson (http://www.sunforge.com) - I'm not sure where this was shot, though.

Jared, what is that strange little white thing balancing precariously on the top left of the picture frame?

David, that strange white thing would be an electric
socket (US) cover... Standard babyproofing gear.

Chris, re: all the Mac workstations, I think all the PC users
are too ashamed of their hardware to show it off. (I'm just
ribbing you PC users, all 40% of you.) Is Steve's workstation
going to represent all the PC users? =)

Yeah, my Compaq laptop is one ugly mother, fake chrome and everything. But it works and I saved money. And even if I gave that much importance to looks, I would advise against dating your computer. :-)

Plus PC users generally have fewer gadgets like digital cameras.

hhp

Compaq is horrible. The only good thing Compaq ever did was reverse engineer the IBM bios to make clone PCs possible...other than that, the whole company should be destroyed.

I would take a picture of my computer/work area, but it is very very messy. And my computer isn't working right now :cries: But, it's NOT windows' fault as far as I can tell! Yay, I'm happy for that, XP actually works. Looks like it's a bad bit of hardware.

Here is the pathetic state of my desk. I just want to get another PC up in here.



Notice the Honey Roasted peanuts next to the minitower... I believe those have been there for about two months. The Mt. Dew bottle under the desk has probably been there for a month. The Code Red is from tonight.

I am a slob. I know this. I'm good at visualizing, though. I close my eyes, and magically I see my room as neat and beautiful.

I'm cleaning tomorrow. Maybe I'll post an "after" picture to prove it.

:snigger:

Just back from vacationing in Northern Michigan, studio a bit of a mess, but...

Bless the mess.

hhp

Here's mine...

I was relieved to see the mess in James' studio and in some of the recent pics. I was beginning to worry about all those incredibly tidy work areas in the early pics. Was I a slob? Didn't these people do any work?

Here is the current state of the home office formerly known as dining room:

Okay, full disclosure. Here's my office the night before I took the photo I uploaded earlier, the way it usually looks:

David Earls: Is this a Portuguese "Galo de Barcelos"?

Interesting thread.. here's mine :

There's a new one, a PC and a Mac. Are they both hooked to the same monitor?

I was wondering the same thing.

Also, there's something sort of Wallace & Gromit-like about your office.

The Mac's not connected yet, but, I have plans to set that up after I move. Wallace & Gromit, hehe.

Adriano - yes, it is indeed a Galo de Barcelos. It was a gift from an Australian work collegue before departing back to his home in the sun. He gave it to me with the parting words that he could think of no-one else "so deserving of a large black cock", hehehe.

Ok, this thread is good, I think I need now to tell you the truth: during summer, my desk is more this hammock (translated from hamac in French?). See the two cables, left is Ethernet (no wireless yet here, but who have fas ethernet in its garden??!!), the other power.


Have fun!

That's too funny. ClubTypeMed.

This thread finally got me off my duff to join in. This is my studio with a blow up of a cherished gift (the little guy, not the Pez!) from a type designer I worked with. (The mess is off-camera).

Welcome, Ilene! Good to see you jump into the fray.

I used to see little figurines like that in Barcelona - was your colleague Spanish?

Hi Jared. Yes, I believe he was!

I had to clean up a little, but here's our office in a split-up-panorama.
So many books, and computer gadgets, I have no idea where to put it.

thats a really nice space!

peter, looks like you haven't changed anything in your office in years ... including not cleaning the windows :-D

hahaha..they actually got cleaned a few months ago.
And I've made changes - I've brought in all the stuff on the floor that I have no idea where to put.

I've been enjoying this thread (enough that I'm posting rather than just lurking). It's almost inspired me to take a picture of my workspace. However, you are all so tidy! Maybe I'll be inspired to clean...

Peter, great space, but I really got a chuckle out of your drawing!
_____________

Hi Patricia. Looks like this thread lured us both in!

Patricia, I bet everyone has cleaned up first, even the apparently messy ones. I know I did. All apart from David Hubner who cheated and used a scanned photo from an Ikea catalogue ;)

peter, i know the feeling. i'm glad i have a big basement for all the old equipment. i'm scared of the thought of having to move it all out one day. maybe i should register at ebay ...

Ok, here's mine, and yes, I just cleaned. It was a good excuse to put off work.

Maybe later I'll take a picture of the current state of my nightmare. I doubt if cleaning is going to happen anytime soon. It should make you all feel very good about yourselves.

Ilene: Hi! Yes, this thread has had that effect!

Simon says:

Do you need a gray desktop G3 upgraded to a 400Mhz G4? I've tried to get my parents use it but they are happy with their old PC

hey grant,

if you really want all the old crap, including a bunch of useless zip-drives and big old CRTs, you're gonna have to pick it up the next time you're in hamburg, germany. i'll pay for the beers ;-)

ben, nice windows! you work in a church or something?

simon

No, no church. just an old saint louis apartment.

if you really want all the old crap...
...you're gonna have to pick it up

Next time I'm in town, I promise.

In the meantime, why don't you build a few end tables or plant stands?
