[b0rked]My complex entity setup[/b0rked]

It's kind of messy. Got a dictionary, an eraser, some computer
paper for doodles, some photos, a newspaper article, my cellphone, my
ipod, my watch, a pen, and a bottle of advil (to fight off the
aftereffects of boozing on thursday, friday, and saturday night).

I can't find the previous thread, but this has been done before at the Pit.

damn! I can never come up with a totally original thread! oh well. At least people post. btw, Addicted, I like your desktop. Nice and messy. (That's what mine was like before I added the huge @$$ monitor.)

[b0rked]My complex entity setup[/b0rked]

Yeah --- I'm not very clean. I find when I clean up I can't find anything anymore :\

But -- there's not much room on my desk anyhow. The college I go
to doesn't really provide huge desks. Thankfully I have a laptop,
otherwise I'd have NO room.

My desk in my uni flat...



And my desk (well, my parents desk) back at home...

I'd get a picture, but I can't find the camera :sad:

Basically, I have a long desk with a PC, a laptop, stacks of CD's and DVD's and a terrarium where I house my pet snake.

This was how my desk looked like in 2004. Not much changed since.



And yes, I am an obsessive-compulsive neat freak.

And if its like, having one open to internet, instant messenger, music,
movies, etc. While having the other on like CS or HL2. I;ve been
wondering how I would do that, because I'm getting a new computer soon,
and I might want to have a crappy old Dell monitor off to the side that
I can just hti a button to switch to and then IM someone or something
of the sort, while playing CS.

Nickelplate is my dad

Not only my desk, but my entire room is a mess. Papers all over the
desk, books, boxes, cables and a million other things. On my floor
there's clothers, bags and huge piles of dust. I wish I could keep my
desk as clean as yours satch.

I haven't got a camera, but I'll see if I can borrow my bro's.

---

What the Snarkpitters listen to!

My wife's desk, however, is my worst nightmare.

Papers and books stacked up way high, and half-full cups of tea and snack wrappers everywhere. Things just get swallowed up by the mess like a big black hole. In fact, I think I've found a hippo wandering amidst the papers once.

But that's the way she likes her desk. I even spent the entire day cleaning up her desk once, but it all goes back to the big mess very quickly. I've given up.

My parlor area:



...sometimes I find it difficult not to get distracted when I'm working in there.

At least I manage to get by with one monitor.

LOL, the fact I didn't even notice there was a computer there for a good few seconds only goes to backup your claims :biggrin:

Exactly the same for me, ReNo :biggrin:

Yes, that IS:

• A Buddha statue
• another Buddha
• a bright green rabbit with a tennisball in his lap.
• a plush blood drop behind that.
• a 1967 "mercury" insignia on the front of my PC
• a spongebob kite i got from my brother in UK.

The top says Sator Letifer, which means "death machine" in a way in Latin.

Nickeltop also says "Atari" on it.

Crappy desk, eh?

Your desk makes me gasm Nickel :smile:

Now Il be running through the UK looking through windows for a similair
computer desk with a songebob kite behind it (And a budah). Do you
kneel down while using the "Death Machine"? lol.

P.S.

You have the same speakers as my friend Dan (Leviathan)

Actually, an elite keyboard is quite the opposite. No letters. Completley blank. (look for them, they exist)

Blame it on Microsoft, God does.

crono.. do you have to ruin.. EVERYTHING I have? why can't you just let a poor guy dream!?!?

THIS IS WHY WE CAN'T HAVE NICE THINGS!!!

I thought we were best friends, but now.. i just don't know...

I was just poking fun at your keyboar, don't be all whiney. And yes, I do know you're kidding. I hope.

It's hard to believe that we live in the same apartment and somehow get along.

SNES: Unfortunately I don't have any
games you can play with more then one player. Exept Tetris2. Kinda
lame. It's not porperly connected either. When I got this new desk
there was a lott of work to do. And I didn't do this part yet. I shall
make a photograph of all these wires behind the desk and the shelve.
Incredibly.

That old TV is black/white. I
only use it for checking the image when I copy a digital movie (DVD) on
VHS. The VCR is locaed directly above the TV. And the SNES is supposed
to run with TVin on my computerscreen. (As long it is properly
connected)

These CDs are partially full of data
and the others are empty ones. I try to seperate them (I don't want to
lose track of all these ammouts of data (nickelpalte sends me.... uhhhhh))

This clock is there for
when I turn off the screen and/or shut off the PC. I've got a clock in
almot every side of the room. This small clock also is used as an alarm
clock. I hate it to lose track of the time.

This is not a bike seat. This is my desk lamp. It is turned the other way around so the light hits the wall behind and enlightens the room quite cosy.

This colour idea is quite nice. Very clearly laid out.http://dict.leo.org/se?lp=ende&p=/Mn4k.&search=out

If I had a camera I'd take a picture of my "game orgy" as it was once refered to. Not that many really.

My 'desk' is another matter. Half the table is covered in glasses.

About Elite keyboard. 1) Where did you buy that keyboard Nickel, is it
on the web? I might want one for my new system seeing how I havent
found a good keyboard yet (that isnt like a million dollars)

As for the Leetest of keyboards it would have to be the Optimus....

http://www.artlebedev.com/portfolio/optimus/

And yes, you can turn ALL the keys off so theres nothing on them, like as Crono consdereds Leet.

[b0rked]My complex entity setup[/b0rked]

http://www.daskeyboard.com/

Has anyone thought that a keyboard with lcd crystals isn't the best idea? You are going to be hitting the keys, you know. Taking that it was mainly an art project, I doubt the thing has been engineered to withstand something a normal keyboard would take gracefully (hammers, fists, candy bars, soda, used-as-a-bat-against-a-monitor-for-terrible-software-frustration, the usual).

---

Blame it on Microsoft, God does.

I think the LCD keypad is simply unnecessary. Most gamers or
computer users have already memorized the key assignment for all of
their favorite games anyway. There's no need for reminder.

At least I'm speaking for myself. I never actually look at the keyboard when I press the keys.

me either, but it could be useful for shortcut keys in photoshop or
other programs. Or if someone comes to your house who doesnt play the
game and doesnt know the keys.
