The laptop, my main work computer

Telephone

Palm cradle

Nearly out of view: continental power adapters

Royal Flash by George Macdonald Fraser, to read on the tube in the morning

Rules And Representations by Noam Chomsky to help me sleep in the evenings

Some papers

Historic Pubs of London by Ted Bruning, just in case we'd want to go for a "quick pint" after work

17" screen, connected to the laptop so that I have a computer desktop that span both screens (developers neeed a lot of screen real estate)

Bulletproof Web Design by Dan Cederholm; if you do web design, get a copy now!

US English / Arabic keyboard configured as UK English (don't ask)

Sun workstation for the stuff a PC can't do and also because we didn't know where to put it when we moved and I was happy to have it on my desk

Some BEA promotional stuff that was never opened

Pens

Mouse and mouse mat

That's a view of my desk in the office. Although it doesn't show on the picture, I have a window behind me so I do get some natural light in, when the shutters are not shut to avoid reflections that is.

This photo has notes. Move your mouse over the photo to see them.

	Bruno Girin says: The notes I put on the photo explain it all but basically I need a lot of screen real estate so I have my Windows XP desktop span both the laptop's screen and the 17" screen. The Sun workstation is really a test machine I use to do some UNIX work when needed rather than risk crashing one of the servers. Posted 36 months ago. ( permalink )
	Marian Amere says: Oh, sorry...I'm not really a tech person...but I have an inkling of what you mean. (Most of my ex-boyfriends were computer programmers or otherwise self-proclaimed tech "geeks".) I am a three-year old where this stuff is concerned, so forgive my ignorance!! :) Posted 36 months ago. ( permalink )
	Bruno Girin says: @Marian: no worries, I don't expect everybody to understand what this is all about :-) You're absolutely right, there are 3 monitors and 2 computers on this desk. I just wanted to explain the setting a bit more but I now realise I turned into geek mode when doing that :-) Posted 36 months ago. ( permalink )
