You bet she is a keeper!  SWMBO makes me wear headphones because Dave's accent drives her crazy. :-DD 

Now that's funny because my wife says the same thing.  I have to wait till she's in the other room before watching the videos.

I love it - an "Art shot".   I think we need a new thread just for "Art" shots of benches, projects etc.

Start one! :-+

The large upturned computer heat sink seen in the picture is part of a cloud chamber we've been working on over the last month or so.

Cool! Are you going to write it up somewhere? Hint - here.

There is a saying that if you want to feel thinner, hang out with people fatter than you.

For all of you who think your set up is out of order, I present my personal (noun) for you to gaze upon.

If he can’t make it for the toilet fast, there’s a toilet paper at the right side below the desk.

Every once in a while, every hoarder needs to move.
It's still months away, but i wanted to estimate the magnitude of the problem.
Fortunately, i'm OCD enought to keep everything organized, so it was simply a matter of stacking everything on the floor, measuring and weighting.
So, here is what a cubic meter and 270kg of stuff looks like:





...that's going to be a lonely road trip...

I like the levitating mouse on the top right.  He's solved the problem of having no clear flat area to use it.  :-+

In all serious (for newbies) this has to be staged, but I like it.  Mine almost looks like this.  I am going to print this and frame it.

What is there too like?  :wtf: How can you work in such a mess. Someone must have emptied the trashcan over this work trash space
There are small lies, big lies and then there is what is on the screen of your oscilloscope.

I don't think it's staged. I knew someone who had an entire live-in warehouse that looked like that. In his case it was definitely a form of mental illness. Severe inability to make rational decisions and then act on them. I've no idea what the actual syndrome would be called.

I have storage areas that look nearly as chaotic, but that's a result of a messed up sequence of building shelving vs stuff in the way of building the shelving, due to overall owner-building schedule. Letting work areas get like that... well I'd better be careful what I say. Don't want to offend the spirit of Jim Williams.

I believe Jim had a place for his feet.  This is why it looks staged to me, it is the where you would place your feet that makes it look fake to me, ie no place for the feet.

I suspect it's a normal, proper workplace that has had a whole lot of junk thrown in for the sale of a photo. Notice the organised way the cameras are hanging.

The cameras are probably some kind of collection. Unfortunately I have come across desks which where close to this stage of utter nutter clutterness.

This reminds me of a picture which used to hang by the desk of a former software colleague, with the caption:

"Just because your desk looks like this, doesn't mean your code has to"
