Amazingly tidy!

Loving the notepad but can't work out how you're powering your tech with one of the plugs switched off :p

 

That's the school that always seems to have teachers and kids about. Rarely get to use the sound unless it's during the holidays :(. Everything else is on the UPS - which is handy because if I forget to turn the heater off @ lunchtime the combined draw of it + something the kitchen uses causes the switch to trip.

Ok, so maybe this isn't what what was meant when you asked "What does your desktop look like?"

That's actually rather tidy - mine is sufficiently cluttered that only the evidence of things not being on the floor suggests that there's actually a desk there.

Updated the OneDrive with my images : https://1drv.ms/f/s!AgCTxIOhF_Q_gSjdpx4OyI_PqNtA

 

Feel free to steal all/some of them.

 

Wallpapers are wallpapers, "Other Pics" are general images I use in the lockscreen slideshow.

 

Currently using one of the Witcher wallpapers, which I can't post here... The Driad one. NSFW, obviously.

 

I keep forgetting I've set it to that, so my start menu [Win 10 fullscreen version] surprises me every time I open it. :p

 

 

Le EDIT: Give me a shout if there are any dupes.

I also have a 4K version, since its effect is a bit ruined if the 720p section isn't actually 1280 x 720, but I don't often run my monitor in 4k 'cause I can't push 100+ fps :p

THE FRAMERATES HAVE SPOILED ME.

Tell your boss it's the way forward and rude not to - throw this on your shopping list ;

 

http://www.novatech.co.uk/products/monitors/monitoraccessories/monitormounts/tripplemounts/lcd-036-1.html

 

it makes a world of difference.

 

We made a push at the college to equip every office with dual monitors and it's massively reduced Paper/printing based on historic reporting.

 

Started trialling 3 monitors with some senior staff - It however annoys me when we get a helpdesk job "my outlook monitor isn't working"....... first of all it's not exclusively for outlook but please login first and then it will do [emoji35]

I'm already using a bracket for my dual monitors (see image below). The plan is to get another monitor and bracket of the same model and add it to the end of one of them. They're ultra wide so only just fit on the bracket. Can't wait! :)

How are your desks so tidy!!!??

 

Ha if you look over my monitors I have workbench which gets some stuff piled on it.

 

But I had a load of paperwork on the desk, contracts and such so thought best to move them off the desk before I took the picture, just in case someone on here threw 2p in about Data Protection etc hahaah oh and I logged my phone out too and locked the screens

 

Can't be too careful ;-)

 

But I am a bit of a neat freak anyway

I think some sort of penalty should be applied to these people

 

any IT Tech's desk is SUPPOSED to be covered with techy bits and pieces

 

it give the impression that we are doing something REALLY complicated ALL the time

 

oh - plus coffee cups and Hobnobs of course

 

 

or is that just me????

Ugly desk, but the keyboard and mouse are brand new today.

 

I cannot describe the feeling of a brand new, still textured Intellimouse that doesn't have the slickness where a decade of use has rubbed the plastic smooth.

 

The responsiveness of the keys so much travel and bounce. Virgin hardware.

 

I managed to pick up a fair number of the Microsoft Internet Keyboards - two brand new boxed on eBay, two second hand from Amazon - one of which is a Stone Computers custom paint job the other looks brand new, but doesn't feel as nice! I've also got my original MS Internet Keyboard Pro (!) which I cannot find anywhere. Not even from Trumpland on FleaBay. PS/2 and USB connectivity with two USB 1.1 ports on the keyboard and more custom action keys. Sadly the USB ports are crap these days as they can't power a USB stick born after 2006! I almost wrecked it five years ago, beer was spilt (or as my good friend would call it a beer tsunami) and I tried to clean it up and I made a total mess sadly.

 

I've tried to pick up an MS Comfort Keyboard from circa 2004, but they go for a fortune on eBay.

 

I've managed to salvage six of the original MS optical Intellimice, all but one have the extra buttons. That one that doesn't is a real pain to use. Two of the others are slowly dying from overuse. One is my original from back in the late 1990s!

 

Does anyone else have to use weird hardware due to some form of obsessive compulsion or total middle aged old gittiness of not wanting to change?!
