Post a pic of your computer desk without cleaning up the mess

[Droopy]

Yes, this is where I type all of those enlightening posts of mine and transport them to you via the internet.

[Droopy]

2. Haha. I used to drink Icehouse. $15.99 for a 30 pack

Then I decided to see what a moderately good beer would taste like. Heineken is $14.99 for a 12 pack. I'm torn.

13. there we have the source

dennis hopper is the shit :D

[ghostsofgiants]

14. Such a great film.

I'm a slight David Lynch fanboy. And by slight, I mean obsessive.

[DarkTirade]

3. Yeah... mine's pretty bad right now.

I tend to collect clutter. And since I just moved, I haven't figured out a place to put a lot of the things I have anyway. :)

[Droopy]

5. Wow. Your's is worse than mine!

But at least you have the ergonomically correct keyboard.

[DarkTirade]

8. Yes, and I have better taste in beer. :P

[Lethe]

15. you keep a jar of honey by your computer?

damn, son. You must get a PB and honey sandwich craving all too soon.

[DarkTirade]

65. It's an empty jar, for research purposes. :)

I was looking online to see if I could find more of that same brand. I brew mead, and since I just moved and no longer live near a store that carries that kind, I was looking to see if I could order it online.

Unfortunately they don't carry it in bulk, just in those mason jars. So it'll be a little more expensive than I'd like to keep using it. But if this batch of mead turns out really well, I might just bite the bullet and pay a little extra to keep using that kind of honey. :)

[Deja Q]

63. Nice joystick!

What flight sim games do you play with it?

[DarkTirade]

66. The only flight sim games I have installed right now

are space sims, I.E. the X-Wing series. And I gotta say... they made some poor design choices for X-Wing Alliance.

I've got a copy of Red Baron II laying around somewhere, but it's not installed right now.

I mostly bought it for game design purposes rather than game playing purposes. :) Same reason I bought the gamepad that's partly concealed behind the empty beer bottle. I've been toying with the idea of making a few flight sim type games, hence the joystick. And I'd recently been toying with the idea of trying out Microsoft's free X-Box game development software, hence the gamepad.

[ghostsofgiants]

4. I'm too lazy to find my camera, let alone clean the mess, so here's an older pic...

[Droopy]

7. Not too bad

Looks sort of organized. Sort of.

[ghostsofgiants]

9. Haha, it's much less organized right now.

That was taken around exam time back in December so I had to be a little organized for study purposes.

[Lethe]

16. SM3 was not bad

pretty good by SM standards. And you have the actual NES game there, props.

[ghostsofgiants]

18. It's my favourite Super Mario game.

Off to the right, by my TV, you would see my NES sitting next to the TV.

[fizzgig]

21. i wish i had an nes

x(

[ghostsofgiants]

42. I picked it up at a flea market a while back.

I need to get a new 72-pin connector to put in it though, it's not the most reliable console at this point.

[fizzgig]

49. it never occured to me to check the flea markets

i'll have to do that

[Oeditpus Rex]

19. Is that an Olympus OM-(number)?

And a 70-210 mm f/4 zoom and a roll of Fuji 400?



I can't tell what the other lens is. :(

[ghostsofgiants]

28. Olympus OM-10.

80-200mm f4.5 actually. The other is actually a 2x teleconverter.

The lens on the camera is a 50mm f1.8.

[CaliforniaPeggy]

10. My dear Droopy!

Here ya go!

[Droopy]

11. Wow, that is immaculate.

But I wouldn't have expected anything less from CaliforniaPeggy.

[CaliforniaPeggy]

12. Ah, thanks, Droopy!

You can't see it in this picture, but there's another table, just to the left of this one...

At right angles...

It's not quite as neat and tidy as this one is, lol!

:hi:

[fizzgig]

17. i don't have a desk

[Droopy]

23. It looks like you do some serious smoking

Personally, I stick to the same brand all the time. I thought about getting a laptop when I was out on the road all the time, but I've since gotten a local job so I shitcanned that idea. To tell you how computer savvy I am, I just recently learned that you can get broadband access on your laptop no matter where you are. What will they think of next?

[fizzgig]

30. i love my computer

it's old, it's slow, but it was free. i love that i can take it with me when i travel.

i like to mix up what i smoke and i'm saving the empties for a free carton of american spirits...just need one more

[qnr]

20. Actually, they're both cleaner than usual.

Edit: reduced the size a bit - they're a little noisy, shooting at ISO1600 with a 13W energy saver bulb (though I did redo the laptop one with the flash)

[Droopy]

24. Not bad

But you need to throw an ash tray and a bottle of beer in there to show us what a real internet junky you are. :P

[qnr]

26. Yeah... we both quit smoking back in Oct of 2003, and I like beer, but avoid

it since I'm diabetic :)

[SeattleGirl]

22. Mine:

I have an L-shaped desk.

Here's the part of the desk the desktop computer sits on:


And here's the part of the desk I put my laptop on:

[Droopy]

25. Very nice

I'm in need of some interior decorating. Do you think you could help me out?

[SeattleGirl]

32. I would love to!

I actually have a pretty good eye for that.

[Droopy]

34. Okay. I have beige walls and I do not wish to paint the place

I've got a few prints up, along with a fake tree, a decorative box for the coffee table and a pottery piece for the dining room table. I need some more stuff up on the walls. What do you think I should look for?

[SeattleGirl]

35. Do you have more pictures?

That would help.

[Droopy]

36. As a matter of fact I do, but give me a little bit

so I can get them uploaded to photobucket. I'll be back in a minute.

[SeattleGirl]

39. Okay

[Droopy]

41. Here you go

[SeattleGirl]

44. Okay, well first off, you definitely DO need more stuff on the walls.

Over the couch, you need a bigger picture, or a series of pictures. The one you have now is diminished by the size of the couch.

If you really like the picture over the couch, consider adding one on either side of it that is similar enough to match, but different enough to be interesting.

In the dining area, you might want to add posters or prints with color, especially reds and greens, as they go well will the beige.

Maybe something like this:


Or this:


I like this one:

Another thing is to consider a valance on the dining room window, again in red or dark green.

And, how about some more plants? I think they always add a nice bit of life to a room.

Those are just my initial thoughts.

One more thing. Would you consider painting even just ONE wall, like the one behind the couch?

[Droopy]

51. The pic behind the couch is a sail boat scene on the open sea

I thought about trying to find other, smaller sail boat pics or possibly lighthouse pics to compliment it on either side. I could definitely go for more plants, but I don't know about painting the wall behind the couch. It seems like it would clash with the rest of the room. I agree with you about red and green themed pictures. I think they would go well with the current paint.

[SeattleGirl]

53. I think the lighthouse pictures sound great!

As far as painting the wall behind the couch, I'm thinking of something in the same hue, but a bit darker, just for contrast. Nothing dramatic.

I know this is a rather dark picture, but this is part of my livingroom. Just wanted to show you the balance of pictures above my couch.



I love Mucha, and found these prints at a local shop.

[Droopy]

56. Thank you.

That is the look I'd like to have in my living room. I love dim lights and dark contrasts. And the plants just touch it off. Thanks for giving me something to shoot for.

[SeattleGirl]

57. You're quite welcome.

And thanks for giving me a chance to exercise my artistic self.

[Lethe]

27. this is mine

nothing much to see

[Droopy]

29. Simple and friendly

A sign that your internet addiction hasn't proceeded too far as of yet. I'm so far gone that I don't even have a TV. :)

[Lethe]

31. hey

i got a TV but i dont have cable, and i cant get any local stations. (i live in the BFE)

I mostly use the TV as a proving grounds for Super Smash Bros and Super Mario Kart showdowns. (and DVDs)

Physical fighting is such a thing of the past......we can settle all disputes thru Mario Kart.

edit: spelling, and notice the purple stained plastic cup.....so redneck (and box wine too!)

[Droopy]

33. Oh, lordy

I'd love to see the day when we have no physical fighting. Load up the play station and let the best man win!

Wine is cool with me and I'm a bit rednecky, too. Don't let the bottle of Heineken fool you. :)

[fizzgig]

38. mario kart is a good way to settle disputes

but i find smash brothers to be even better :)

[Lethe]

55. in the future there will be no court system

only mario kart and smash bros.

[fizzgig]

58. i could get behind that

but i think golden eye multi-player would be needed as well

[SeattleGirl]

45. I really like your desktop wallpaper.

Very cool!

[Lethe]

woah!

(if you check out his wife's myspace page you can see a pic of him without the makeup on, he looks TOTALLY different)

I dunno, he just cracks me up.

[Omphaloskepsis]

37. mine..

[Droopy]

40. I see you have the prerequisit beer can and smokes

and as an added bonus the condiment packs. Nice! But why two monitors?

[Omphaloskepsis]

43. Mainly for editing CSS files.

I edit them on the right and the changes automatically show up on the left in a separate window. This saves tons of time.

[Lethe]

46. thats a Jack n the Box bag isnt it!?

if so....wow, you may have me beat.

[Omphaloskepsis]

48. It is a TacoTime bag.

[Lethe]

50. doh!

i thought i had it!

but taco time sounds good too! :D

edit: i never been to a taco time but now i want to

[Gonzo Gardener]

52. You like it dirty?

:hi:

Taken a few weeks ago


Taken a few days ago. Sorry, no beer, but my coffee mug, a Mason Jar, is on the desk.

[Droopy]

54. Looks very sophisticated despite the disorganization

And the smokes are the topper. Sophisticated + disorganized + smoker = Obama supporter. Am I right?

[Gonzo Gardener]

59. Sophisticated + disorganized + smoker = Obama supporter.

:spray:

What makes you think "Obama supporter"?

Honestly, I have no idea who to trust as my POTUS, at this point. Kucinich has a snow ball's chance in hell... :(

:shrug:

[Droopy]

60. I'm a Kucinich supporter

it was just a wild guess. :)

[China_cat]

61. I'd have to clean up mine to find the camera.

You call that messy? I hate to think what you'd call my desk.

[Deja Q]

62. My printer sits behind me and is really boring (and camera shy anyway)

Oh, the further back it gets, the more artsy and distinguished it looks. I should post pix of the living area... white stinks as a wall color, but I'm not allowed to re-paint in any color I'd want (burgundy or hunter green...)

[stuntcat]

67. ->chaos

from two sides :*

[stuntcat]

68. YAY

[DarkTirade]

69. Now that's my kinda desk. :)
