I have papers, laptops and everything strewn everywhere. Might take some shameless pictures, although my GF has her stuff all over the place too at the moment.

EDIT-
Took the pictures, thought I'd add the snakes too as people often are curious.
Thank you for putting the macbook in its place, on the floor, now leave it there.

Portable, powerful and an enormous battery life. It's great for working out of office but a 13" screen isn't fun vs two 24" screens.

I feel your pain. Every time my girlfriend is around, my desk is littered with random stuff as well. Don't even have room to move my mouse. Girls just need so many... things!

Nice! Can you tell me where you got that clock?


RE: Battlestations! - Ippytraxx - 31-08-2013

I bought my one in a museum, but you can get them off Ebay


RE: Battlestations! - yrmt - 31-08-2013

Thank you for the link, I needed a new clock next to my bed :)

Just rob a bank, and return the money in a few days and no one will know :D.

^Can we start a whole forum dedicated to thinkpad porn?


RE: Battlestations! - yrmt - 09-09-2013

Yes, we could, who owns a ThinkPad here?

Indeed. I always have to Right click > copy link location > open new tab > paste

It'd be nice if firefox had "open image in new tab" in the image context menu, or if the site showed an image scaled down to fit in the window, and that image was a hyperlink to open the full-size image in a new tab.

All about that Google Chrome.

There are add ons out there that add some of Chrome's menus to FF.

Momentary battlestation while the internet in my room gets fixed.


RE: Battlestations! - dcoppa - 20-09-2013

OpenIndiana. Nice.

Yes! It's a very nice desktop OS actually :)

I saw this exact picture in a battlestation thread the other day on /g/... Did someone steal and post it or was that you?

I have not. How is it?

I haven't actually tried it so that's why I was asking you, if you had. I don't think it's really for me but maybe you can put it on your list of distros to try and tell us how it goes :)


RE: Battlestations! - dcoppa - 25-09-2013

There's also www.opensxce.org

And osdyson.org as already pointed out by others...

FF opens the image in a new tab if you middle-click on "View Image" in the context menu.

Nice! That definitely solves my minor problem, and even better, solves it with no need for another plugin! :)
