That keyboard cannot be unseen, I don't even want to quote it as I'd need to wetwipe my post :S

It's a bit like Lenny from Of Mice & Men. He only treats his right hand to ergo; his left hand needs to suffer.

might be the only situation where it's ok to make a logo and win a ducky

I bet he eats his lunch there too and licks his fingers for every bite.

After using a desktop riser at work and home for about a year I decided to get a free standing sit stand desk for my "office". I've got so used to standing I'm now gaming all the time when stood.

Still got some work to do on the cable management and of course the shelves look a mess now!

Desk is a Flexispot E5, 140 x 70 cm, Bamboo top.

Apologies for bumping this thread.
I am looking to get a stand up desk and transform my current layout but struggling with finding a sensible solution for the width I am wanting to go to,

Best to stick req's in here for assistance? Or best to start a new thread, if so, which sub forum is best as I'm struggling to find one related to the topic of big wood.

Fully Jarvis is what I'd recommend regardless, expensive but worth it.

Another vote for Fully Jarvis (Herman Miller). I plumped the extra £60 or so, for the memory settings.

Apologies, but just loving my set up right now. Happiest for ages

I'm more perturbed that the Macbook is only partially on the desk mat. On or off would be fine. It must not even be flat.

It is absolutely fine, unibody, not some plastic chassis, and I am not putting any force on it.

How about my desk in early 2000?

PC on the left is a PII-266, PC on the right is a PII-350, not sure what the spec of the one in the middle.

Compared to now.

@Feek Table top and shelf look the same, not changed them since early 2000 ?? It's quiet a difference though and seems your radio hobby started after 2000 ?

Desk and shelves are the same. I’ve been into radio since 1981, if you look at the first picture, there are two radios mounted under the shelf above the monitor on the right.

The rest of the shack was over the other side of the room back then but it wasn’t the best place so I moved it all onto the desk a bit later.

Ohh so that was radios, thought it was some PC gadgets !

Here’s my desk in 1991, complete with my 736.

Tie your extension lead under your desk and hide all the cables...

My dad is massively into CB’s again.

Probably spoke to him

I'm working on it!

Next step is to remove the almost redundant black power bar.

I could buy one of the Flexispot cable snake tidies too I suppose.

The Official amateur radio thread

I've been asked a few times to start an *** official *** amateur radio thread so after a few false starts I'm hoping this will work. I know a few people on here have got (or have had) amateur radio licenses and so perhaps we can get some chat going here, what you do, what you've done and what...
