Top painting. I tweeted this bully-wee about it the other day:
 
Quote: 
Like Hockney's ‘They are perfectly safe This is a still’, Botticelli's "Venus & Mars" freezes its subjects in time, a second before the faun blows his conch in Mars' ear and he is startled awake to see a 'knight' bearing down on him. Two perpetual moments before chaos.

Running z/OS on Hercules. Bit of a boring desktop.

Yeah, my left and right are mismatched. Which is fine, cos right is very much secondary.

I did have one that was the same res (but different physical size) in the middle, but it mysteriously died 2 days into WFH. So I had to liberate this shitty Samsung from the loft. I hate it, colour is all wrong, viewing angle is shit, brightness/contrast is awful, and the DPI is so low that *everything* looks shit and jaggy.

The outer two (and previous centre screen) were 'acquired' from a pharma lab that used share a site with my old work. They moved out and me and a colleague spent two weeks stealing anything interesting that was left behind. I scored 3 monitors, loads of surge protected extension leads, a UPC for my server, some blinds and about seven kilometres of network cable.

Then a couple of their guys came in a van to pick up the stuff they'd left... 8-O

I'll have to sift through these later since some actual work just came over the transom... my customary xfce desktop w/conky in this case on Fedora 28 (planning to upgrade RSN)...

Well, the windows may overlap but at least it's not fucking Windows.

I did look into running z/OS on Hercules a couple of years ago, simply because I enjoy messing around in a TSO/ISPF environment (sad, I know). Hercules is free - z/OS isn't but the internet is big, but it's really, really hard to implement and after I'd spent a couple of months looking at the logistics I decided against it.

There's a big market in second-hand mainframes. I have a friend who used to buy and sell them, some for parts, some for full installation and use.

What'd be /really/ interesting is a look inside everyone's recycle bin.
