What kind of crate is that under your desk?

Dis86 · 14 May 2017 at 17:38

It's an ammo crate although I'm slightly confused as the 30 fuzes bit to me implies artillary shell fuzes but the right hand side refers to the SA80.

L85 in this case is the name of the fuze: a type based on a US design. The crate held percussion, direct action fuzes that exploded the shells fired by British 105mm field guns upon contact, if I recall correctly. I keep peripherals in it. And dust.

Having that drink so close to your mouse is freaking me out.

Can never have too much screen estate

I tend to have lots of documents/emails open at the same time - one screen just is no use - 2 is a massive improvement for me

You all just use them for 24 hour rolling porn and cat videos on YouTube. Admit it.

I am currently relegated to the dining room table to work in the evenings, which is not only massively annoying to my wife, but hugely annoying for me. Roll on moving day...

Nice purse.

Scenes when he gets it out in the pub to buy a round for the lads.

Got to have somewhere for your coins.

So after using the monitor for some time, I've sent it back. For my usage it doesn't improve the way I work. I actually prefer working on my MacBook Pro monitor for a couple reasons. It's superior in quality/brightness/colours and being able to see the entire screen within my field of vision is great.

The plan is to get a stand for my MBP to raise it up so I'm not looking down. I like the rain design mstand, but not for £50. I'll probably go for the Spindo one at £34, it's almost identical.

New desk just setup and all bought from IKEA. Gerton Desktop with Alex draws. I think the monitor on the wall looks much better and frees up space. PC has a totally open back enclosure so heat is not a problem at all and the temps are the same as when I used to have it on the desk. Overall very pleased.

I have had a bit of an office / game room update.

Still need to get some more display items (and find a way to display the 690 and Titan properly) but I am quite pleased with the outcome. My new chair isn't a looker but it is so comfy for my back.

Messy - but I'm busy so I don't care. WFH today. Still going

Malt_Vinegar · 17 Jun 2017 at 09:43

moved into my new room, and put up some shelves to store pc stuff to help keep the desk tidier!
