Pic: Your desk...RIGHT NOW

What headphones are they?

Which ones? I have a rather large collection of headphones thanks to living in a flat, working nights, and not wanting to annoy the neighbours. The set on the desk itself are actually my biggest headphone mistake (ok, apart from a truly *awful* set of Zalman surround sound headphones)... a set of Bose noise-cancelling headphones. They only cancel out stuff that's easy to ignore anyway. They're absolutely no use at all when the neighbours above me are having a trampolining competition.

Generally I prefer my Sennheiser HD580s (the ones perched on the shelving), but I've killed the lead (again!) on those. At £25 a time I'm in no hurry to replace it... the sooner I do, the sooner I'll yank the lead out and break it again. :-)

Router is a DG834GT

I paid a bit more than that for mine! To make matters worse, I only bought it to rule out the possibility of a fault with my old router. It turned out to be a BT problem, not mine.

Such is life.

I wasn't 100% sure but that read as if his missus posted the pic to embarrass him.

Oh, come on. My desk has "single geeky stereotype" written all over it in... er, well... junk.

There really ought to be a TV show like "Time Team" where sweaty-hatted archaeologists excavate people's desks and see what they can find buried in the layers of stationary sediment.

Assuming, of course, that Kim & Aggie don't beat them to it.

They're the ones I meant, thought I recognised them :)

The router I bought at a carboot, took a chance and it worked fine.
 
My own space. Main games pc on the right dual booting xp & vista. Server on the left running 24/7 windows 2003 with vmware & about 5 virtual images of linux, solaris, + microsoft stuff. Work laptop in the middle. On the server is a cisco 837 router with a 8port 10/100 switch feeding the downstairs media center & thin client. On the desk is a gigabit 5 port switch. Out of sight is the prosafe wifi access point & samsung laser printer :)

Right this isnt going to be using correct terms as i dont know them, and its not going to make sense as im tired, and itll probably wrong, but this is how i got mine working a few years back.

You need a left/right (White/red) audio cable and an audio in (Like in normal PC speakers) then cut each one if half and wire em together, bam, sorted.

Yeh its probably wrong, and its a ghetto solution, but it worked for me (Until i fell apart) :D

Or you could buy the correct cable for about £1 :D
