Don't be silly.

It was clearly a lemon.

I'm transitioning to pipe-smoking and a side effect is less ash. Which is great. Keyboards last me more than 2 weeks.

It's a really nice keyboard though. With Alps switches. Which are fucking lovely.

Shitty quality image buddies (hug)

I'm liking your wall art there. :)

Why the fire extinguisher though?

I didn't know that was a thing, so just been reading up on it.

How've you found it, and have you got any finished pictures?

I imagine, and this might be completely wrong, that it's used for extinguishing fires.

(I also imagine it's entirely possible that he nicked it from a pub, and it expired in 2003.)

But there's not a fire there, so completely surplus to requirements.

Here's mine. Helps that I already have my own office/man-cave and have been working from home for several years already.

That makes me feel ashamed.  :-@

That just shows it's working.

According to the cinema, that's a myth, the real purpose is that it is a handy weapon for clubbing people over the head.

One advantage of using the same screen for work and home use is that it gave me justification for splurging on a 30" main monitor last year. A KVM switches the screen, keyboard and mouse over to my docking station for when I'm working.

I love my usb kvm though I don't put video through it, I switch the display between the hdmi & dvi inputs (toying with the idea of adding audio to it, so I can use my one good set of headphones on both rigs). Multiple displays give me whiplash.

Man, you guys need to move countries a couple of times. That soon sorts out how much stuff you have lieing around. Most of what I own would fit into a few boxes*.

* excluding furniture, obv.

Wait a sec, the middle one is a 30"?

Yep, 30" screen, 2560x1600 res (16:10 aspect ratio obviously). The ones either side are older 4:3 screens running at 1600x1200 (liberated from work). Bought the 30" screen last year after my old, trusty 27" ViewSonic finally packed in.

Glad to see you've still not relented on your anti 16:9 crusade.

Not really a crusade, I just consider it a downgrade from 16:10 and I don't like new products that are a downgrade from what I had previously.

Incidentally I bought my wife a new laptop last year, went for a Huawei Mateboox X Pro (3:2 screen). Interestingly, the chassis is almost identically sized to the HP Elitebook I have for work. Except on my wife's laptop the whole lid is screen, whereas my work laptop has the better part of 5cm of plastic bezels at the top and bottom. It's a bit shit.

I used to have a 30” (YJ) but I found it bigger than I liked for a lot of things so went down to 27” and a gsync panel. 

Patch! How the devil are you? Where the devil are you?
