Post a picture of your computer space.

[SarahB]

I have a little corner in my kitchen. :)



Very SarahBelle-esque, no?

[BrklynLiberal]

1. Controlled chaos in a corner of my "guest room"

[steely]

2. Looks suspiciously a lot like mine.

Bills right there where you can ignore them, and everything else is properly filed.
am diggin' the mouse carpet.

[Deja Q]

7. Lovely contrast between the first pic and yours, the second one!

:rofl:

BTW: Mine is similar in terms of messiness to yours...

[Dude_CalmDown]

9. Controlled Chaos?

I'm seeing something more along the lines of clusterfuck. But it's nice to see another mouse on the left - and you have the same Persian Rug mouse pad as my sister.

[maveric]

12. OMG! I thought my space was bad!

My son's space looks a lot like yours. LOL!

[Wapsie B]

15. Wait a minute.

That's my desk. Darn close to it anyway. I've got a terminal case of Pakratitis.

[hyphenate]

23. Hey!

How did you get a picture of my desk area? That's pretty much llike mine looks right about now!

[leftofthedial]

27. mine is much worse than that.

but I can't find my camera. It's in the piles somewhere.

Oh well.

[Arugula Latte]

56. Paging "Mission: Organization"

Come in, please. We need you dispatched to Brooklyn immediately.

[BrklynLiberal]

63. I need all the help I can get..REALLY!!!!

[China_cat]

58. Now that's more like it.

I can't believe that there's one more messy than mine.

[BrklynLiberal]

60. But yours is neat compared to mine.

Where are all the papers?

[China_cat]

81. That was AFTER the cleanup.

The papers are stuffed into a cabinet to the left, behind the chair and down.

[ikojo]

84. You have a JERRY doll!

Way to go!!!!

[China_cat]

86. You should see the tapestry hanging in my sewing room.

And my collection of CDs

[Wapsie B]

3. My laptop right in front of my easy chair.

[SarahB]

41. Nice and comfy.

I almost got myself a laptop, but changed my mind. :hi:

[Wapsie B]

49. Yes it is very comfy.

Just wish my laptop was a little lighter.

:hi:

[katinmn]

4. home office off my dining room

[SKKY]

33. SAM Adams baby!!! Wooooooo Hoooooooo!!!

[katinmn]

37. Yes. Now I have a big mug of java sitting in that same spot.

:donut:

Morning to you. :)

[movie_girl99]

45. you have a nice computer space

very tidy and cozy.

[katinmn]

48. thanks. It could be a little tidier but I also work here

when I am not reading DU.

[Wapsie B]

50. That is so organized.

I'm in awe.

:hi:

[katinmn]

92. Wow. thanks. I'm always thinking I need to do a better job.

Heck with that! :hi:

[Wapsie B]

120. You're welcome.

No improvements needed there at all. :)

[sundog]

54. hey! we have the same printer

:P

[katinmn]

95. They're not so bad, huh? This is my third printer.

They keep getting cheaper and better.

In '87 I paid $600 for a "near letter quality" dot matrix Canon printer.

[BattyDem]

5. I'm so glad I cleaned up my desk a few days ago

It's usually a big mess!




PS - The DU bumpersticker is always there ... it's not a "prop" for the photo. :-)

[katinmn]

6. Love your screensaver!

Looks like Uranus came for a visit.:)

[BattyDem]

11. Thanks!

:-)

It's from DigitalBlasphemy.com - they have gorgeous wallpaper! It's a pay site, but they have plenty of beautiful free samples (the one I use is free).

My photo doesn't do it justice ... it really is a great looking picture. You can see it (and download it) here:

http://www.digitalblasphemy.com/dbgallery/3/thetismoon.shtml


The entire Free Gallery can be found here:

[katinmn]

13. You're right. These are gorgeous!!

I'll have to pick one out, too.
:)

[givemebackmycountry]

8. Here is my set up

It's deceptively neat.

[BattyDem]

14. I like your desk

It's great how you can hide your tower and your modem behind that door ... mine are on the floor under my desk.

[movie_girl99]

46. wow..nice space you have there n/t

[samplegirl]

135. You are super neat

Nice desk!!!!

[maveric]

10. The corner of my cell.

I spend WAY too much time here!

[Lady President]

16. Not usually so clean

I'm normally a complete slob, so the timing of your post right after some much needed cleaning just rocks.

My computer space is the guest room:

I like this one because SarahBelle's work area is clearly on my screen.



The vase on the left has now been moved because it looks like it's about ready to fall. (I have the whole table and put the glass on the very edge...)

[samplegirl]

136. Love her hot pink desk

Its so GIRL!!!!!!!!!

[MazeRat7]

17. This is the main area. Kind of dark... I don't like lights much...

[Lannes]

52. Nice!

I have a home studio its one controller some monitors and the rest is software based not counting the soundcard.I like yours alot better.

[Zuni]

94. wow that is the coolest computer room/studio

I have seen yet. Awesome set up. Do you record a lot of music? What kind?

[MazeRat7]

125. Thanks

Yes I do record a bit but not as my day gig. A buddy of mine has a local studio and I bring home lots of "assignments" from there to help get bands "that sound" they are looking for and that covers a lot of the musical spectrum.

Personally, I do what the industry likes to call progressive rock. Think Emerson, Wakeman, etc. However, my current project has taken a rather odd turn...

Its starting to sound like Rob D morphed with Crash Test Dummies..... go figure.

Thanks again for the compliment, I wish I could have shown the whole space in more detail. There are a lot of cool toys under and on-top of the desk not to mention details on the keyboards, computers, etc.....

[Blue_In_AK]

18. Here's my cute little office....

[maveric]

19. Thats WAY too neat and clean!

I'm just jealous.

[Blue_In_AK]

20. It's my little corner of heaven

This used to be my ex-husband's shop ... and it WAS a mess ... but my new husband (my old high school sweetheart) turned it into this beautiful office for me as an expression of his affection. I love it, especially because I work at home and spend most of my days here.

[katinmn]

38. It is a nice space!

Nice thing for your hubby to do. :)

[MazeRat7]

21. Ok... so who's space is this.... talk about needing some help *grin

[katinmn]

39. OMG! I like the sign a lot. As if there's anyone brave enough to

go near the wires. :)

Is that the back area of your base? What kind of work do you do?

[MazeRat7]

126. No thank goodness... I have never "pesonally" seen that place.

I found the picture a while back on the net and thought WOW... I thought I had network troubles. As for work.- my profile pretty much says it. I am a software architect one of Americas fortune 50 companies :( I do consulting and studio work on the side to try and keep my sanity and hoping that some day I can actually retire doing that kind of thing and have my own life.

MZr7

[Floogeldy]

22. Let me clean it up a bit first.

Okay.

[Placebo]

24. MMM, can I lick the palmrest when you're done?

:9

[Floogeldy]

29. Yes

It's like taking a flu shot. Just enough germs to make you immune to the infection.

But seriously, that is a wrist rest. I keep my wrists very clean, except for the chocolate syrup.

[CaliforniaPeggy]

25. Here's mine: I'm VERY lucky to have a huge study all to myself!

[Madrone]

30. Books books books book books.

Out the office door and... more books books books books.


I LOVE it! :)

[CaliforniaPeggy]

31. Thanks! My husband and I have approximately 1000 books...

We actually have a few empty or nearly empty bookcases (I mean shelves) still...It's amazing how quickly they fill up. I love my study bunches!

[SarahB]

35. I miss my books.

I stilll have a ton at my ex's that I need to get. I have lots of book space in my living room, but they have yet to be refilled.

[Zuni]

96. I have several hundred

I have a lot of books stored in boxes the basement of my parent's house because I just don't have a place in my apartment for them!

[katinmn]

40. I'd trade chairs with you.

Yours looks comfy. I'm still sitting in a wooden chair. Considering I work from home, that's probably not so smart.

[Reverend_Smitty]

26. Just took this 5 min ago

[Floogeldy]

28. What is that black cord?

That black cord coming out from under your monitor and extending to the edge of your table?

:)

[CaliforniaPeggy]

32. Hi Floogeldy,

That looks a lot like a cord I have. They are used for downloading pics from digital cameras into the computer. Easy transfer!

[SarahB]

34. Peggy's right

Same thing for me. :)

[arcos]

36. Taken a few weeks ago...

[ScreamingMeemie]

42. My office before.....

My office after (3 hours of massive "clean"):




Right now it's in the middle of those two points. :hi:

[SarahB]

43. Not too shabby.

I need a better monitor (like yours :P). My computer is pretty up-to-date, but my monitor is absolutely ancient (and too small). I just took an old one from the basement when I moved.

[ScreamingMeemie]

44. Check out Circuit City! We got a floor sample for a fraction of the cost.

I love it. There is absolutely no glare..until you take a picture with a flash! ;) :hi:

[SarahB]

65. Thanks for the tip.

I appreciate it. :)

[Zuni]

98. wow, you have a neat computer

did you mix and match pieces from various computers? The monitor, printer, CPU and keyboard all look like they came from different computers.

What is that thing that looks like a writing tablet on the table under the monitor?

[ScreamingMeemie]

108. Yes....the only original thing is the printer and the hard drive inside

the tower. The other printer (small one) came next. Then came the new tower with two hard drives. Then the keyboard. The thing under the monitor is a scanner. That clear HP one. I've had a lot of fun with it. MrG loves messing with computer components.

:hi:

[DemNoir]

47. This is sad

I don't see one home worth breaking into yet!

[Dukkha]

51. my room

Here's the backview where I couch it during long tasks

[BrklynLiberal]

67. NEAT!!!

[Zuni]

102. very, very cool

I like your recording set up.

Is that a Les Paul Studio in the 2nd pic? My friend had one similar to that but it was a very ugly pukey yellow-green color (:shrug:), but he sanded off the paint and revarnished the wood and it came out looking awesome in the end.

[Dukkha]

106. no, it's just an Epiphone Studio copy

Still plays real nice though

Next to it is a 70's reissue Stratocaster with Dave Gilmour's EMG setup. That's what I use most of the time. You can barely see the Line6 pod on the floor which I play them through.

The pics are a year old. I've added to the room since.

[Zuni]

111. I have an Epi Les Paul Standard

I love that guitar. Sounds almost as good as a 2,200 $ Gibson les Paul Standard but only cost around 500$. I really dig the Epiphone versions of Gibsons (and epiphones are made by Gibson, just mot hand carved and shit)---almost as good, great looking but only 1/4-1/3 the cost!!
If I was to get a Fender Guitar (which I would like to do soon), I would much prefer a Telecaster to a Strat. For some reason, I cannot handle Strats---too screechy, at least that has been my experience unfortunately. My first electric was a shitty Strat, so maybe I just have a prejuidice....
I am a Bass player foremost though, when I play with other musicians most of the time ( I like to play Chicago style blues)---and I play a Fender P-Bass and a Fender Squier P-Bass Special, which has both Prcision Bass and Jazz Bass pickups.(don't let the fact that it is a cheap Squier fool you---this bass kicks ass and it is my favorite for playing out because the neck is slightly smaller and it doesn't tire out my wrist nearly as badly as a full sized bass) I used to have a Gibson Thunderbird Bass, but I stupidly traded it for my P-Bass, even though it sounded better,but the shape was less friendly. I am saving up for a fretless J-Bass and may sell my P-Bass to get it. I know a bass player who has one and it is real sweet, especially for the stuff I like to play.

[FreedomAngel82]

129. That's the best room so far!

[sundog]

53. here ya go

[katinmn]

104. Nice. I like your purple accents to match the wall

Thought I would drop by and pay ya a visit.
You've already seen mine.
:hi:

[GirlinContempt]

55. This is the best I can do with a webcam - in 3 parts

Meeeesssssy, but at least I was honest and didn't clean it up heh

[ghostsofgiants]

73. Haha, I like the Decepticon poster

Transformers was a huge part of my childhood, haha.

[GirlinContempt]

74. Thanks dude

Transformers are a huge part of my adult life ;)
Did you see the post I made about the sweet tattoo I'm going to get? After that one I'm thinking of getting Thundercracker tattooed somewhere

[ghostsofgiants]

76. I did not

But that is awesome.

[GirlinContempt]

78. Oh MAN I'm totally

PMing you the design
It's amazing

[ghostsofgiants]

80. Cool!

[SoCalDem]

57. Mine is a 'slob's paradise'

[ghostsofgiants]

59. You got that wallpaper from pixelgirlpresents didn't you?

I like the wad of cash next to the computer too.

[SoCalDem]

64. I got the wallpaper from b3ta

www.b3ta.com

the cash is left over from my bowling/gambling adventures in vegas a few weeks ago.. I am too lazy to put it away :)and NO you can't have it :P there's $2,078.00 left :)

[ghostsofgiants]

69. Haha, cool

I'm pretty sure that it's a pixelgirl wallpaper, though I'm too lazy to look for it right now, so I could be wrong.

http://pixelgirlpresents.com/desktops.php

[SoCalDem]

71. This guy makes the characters & graphics..

www.coolbubble.com http://www.coolbubble.com/features/desktops/
His site is fun

?large
?large

[ghostsofgiants]

72. Cool..it's possible that he's had something featured on pixelgirl

Hell, I did, haha, so the standards can't be THAT high.

[China_cat]

61. I really have to wonder at all the neat freaks.

[samplegirl]

118. So thats what im missing

a T.V. on my desk.........the big screen i have to turn away to see

[SoCalDem]

130. I Love my little $65 13-inch tv..it's PERFECT

:)

[Tripper11]

62. Here's mine....

[SoCalDem]

66. Oooh.. great use of the "pass- thru"...

I know lots of people who have them, and NO ONE who actually uses them for "food-transfer":)

[Tripper11]

68. Thanks...our house isn't huge...

....so it seemd only fitting. This way I can still yell at the kids when they stand at the fridge with the door open! LOL

[katinmn]

101. Nice toys!

:)

[ghostsofgiants]

70. Mine, much tidier than usual

Things of note:
- Really old Internet Explorer 4.0 cd sleeve
- Missing 3 key on my keyboard
- CDs are there for the sole purpose of covering up a hideous blue ink stain caused by my brother
- The Yosemite Sam mug hiding behing my bottle of Sprite

[GirlinContempt]

75. Nice

[ghostsofgiants]

77. Thanks...haven't seen a really dark blue 3 key lying around have you?

[GirlinContempt]

79. I'll keep my eyes open

[Iterate]

82. It gets warm in here

but I just got a new high speed line printer.

<>

[ghostsofgiants]

83. Damn, that's a nice setup you've got going there

Colour me jealous.

[Iterate]

93. cool, ain't it?

Yup, it's ma baby. And if surfin' is slow, I just scoot around on my rolly-chair.

[Xipe Totec]

88. I've Been Trough the Machine Room At Goddard

Looked just like that. The line printer had vacuum tubes and sounded like an army of 5-year olds eating cereal.

[katinmn]

99. Bwaaaa!!! So you worked for Control Data and invented the

Personal Computer, didn't you?

:rofl:

[Iterate]

110. Sure CDC and the original spider solitaire. Ask me anything.

You can buy a Cray-1 for about $10k, if they haven't all been dissolved for the gold by now.

[progressoid]

119. cool sideburns too!

[SmileyBoy]

85. This is a (relatively) far-away pic:

[LibraLiz1973]

87. Heres mine... messy cords & all.

[bridgit]

89. computeeerrrr spppaaacccee ~

[NV Whino]

90. I'm gonna get shamed into cleaning it up

I did didn't think it was this bad.



On edit: What's an office without a cat.

[Zuni]

103. my cat loves the printer

[Spirochete]

91. The quagmire

I'm missing a shoe, so if anyone sees it in there, let me know...

[Iterate]

97. Shoe!

Under the mouse. Whatta you got going with the case lights? I think I'm going to put goldfish in mine.

[Zuni]

100. I bet when you clean up

your computer area looks really cool!

[Spirochete]

113. Maybe I'll straighten it up

and add an "after" photo, if I get time. hehe

[BrklynLiberal]

109. A fellow lefty?

[Spirochete]

112. Yep.

Vancouver Southpaw, at your service. :)

[BrklynLiberal]

114. I was so busy looking at your picture, I did not notice your ID. If I had

paid attention the question would have been unnecessary. :P
Any way.. Greetings fellow lefty. :hi:

[Quagmire05]

117. Aren't

all of us lefties here? ;)

[BrklynLiberal]

139. Now that you mention it.....

[inanna]

105. Neat thread!

Here is my space...

[Maestro]

107. Here is mine in our master bedroom

[samplegirl]

115. its pretty neat right now

[LeftPeopleFinishFirst]

116. Here's my space! =)

it's never this neat! usually there's my laptop on the other section of the desk with about 10 cans of diet pepsi strewn all over the remaining desk space... but i cleaned it up awhile back to take pictures!

more here:
http://www.maggister.com/biohomepictures.htm

[FreedomAngel82]

132. That's a great room!

I saw your other photos and I really like it. You like some of the same people I do like Johnny Depp and Hanson. ;) Are you going to buy Hanson's latest DVD? It's not out yet I don't think. Their last cd was really great.

[LeftPeopleFinishFirst]

138. It's not out yet, but probably

I have all their videos/DVDs and CDs! Even some bootleg stuff. I've kinda grown up with them, I guess. Oh, I've also seen them three times live.

That level of fanaticism might be considered normal if I wasn't turning 18 next week.

[SW FL Dem]

121. Here's mine

The monitor is supposed to sit under the glass on the desktop, but I have to figure out how to adapt it to deal with my new flat screen monitor.

[Mr. McD]

122. My office space.

[katinmn]

123. you have fish! Ah that would be nice.

Fish are so calming.

[Mr. McD]

124. The top tank is a terrarium, small tropical ferns

The bottom one has fish

Aphyosemion bitaeniatum Ijebu Ode

[Elidor]

127. Cleanliness is next to godliness, or so they say

[orleans]

128. you can't really tell from the picture

(maybe because i don't know how to use to video cam)

[mvd]

131. Here's mine

[mvd]

133. One kick

this is a cool little topic.

[Taverner]

134. Too Cute Sarahbelle :)

And I should have known you're a mac user ;)

[SarahB]

137. Not as cute as you!

Actually, it's all part of my subversive rebellious singlehood of the past two months. Before that I was forced into a life of PC-dom. :crazy:

[Floogeldy]

140. Here is my quaint little office!

B-)
