The Office

I’ve been passed a meme from Phil Roche, so here we go:

Work Setup

a picture of my computer set-up at work
This is my computer at work.

  • Dual Sony 19″ TFT displays
  • Athlon64 3200+
  • 1Gb RAM (single stick, CAS2)
  • 80GbHHD and a 160Gb HDD
  • Radeon 9800Pro

Home Setup

This is my computer at home (please excuse the mess).

  • Dual display (19″ Samsung 900NF and a 15″ PackardBel GoldfishBowl)
  • Athlon 2800+
  • 1.5Gb RAM
  • 120GbHHD and a 160Gb HDD
  • Radeon 9600Pro
  • Creative webcam
  • Canon scanner
  • Epson 890 Photo printer

Essential hardware

  • My Logitech Z-680 surround system
  • My 512Mb USB key
  • My router. Without it, it’s dial up, and that’s just wrong

Most Wanted

  • Dual TFTs at home. Widescreen ones.
  • A new mouse/keyboard
  • Somewhere I can turn my speakers up and crank the sub-woofer from it’s very lowest setting.

Moving along

This has already got to most of the people I’d want to send it to, so the buck stops here.

    That monitor setup is awesome, very jealous.

    I remember the days when you didn’t have a good word for TFT’s Jimi.

  3. Matt Wilcox posted 19hrs, 22min, 35sec after the entry and said:

    Yes, those were the days where TFTs didn’t deserve a good word. Time marches on, technology advances, and now I crave TFT goodness to replace the gigantic box sat on my desk.

    Interesting.

    I’m in Japan at the moment, Matt. Alone. Just incase there’s a very slight chance of you trying to contact me, I know how miniscule that probably is.

    Also, I found the way to Princes Street, it was right to the left of that bank, I wanted to share that with someone.

    This is your Creative Director here. Hurry up and go to Wales so I can have my TFT back. Taa.

    Matt. You must be away from your desk because you would normally have deleted my comment by now.

    Who’s TFTs Mr Tim? I believe one was Rich’s and one mine. You said you love your CRT. smiley icon: wink :lol
    Also, I was troubleshooting PHP with the Trevor. smiley icon: joke

    Matt. Everything in this office is mine - including your ass!

    P.S. What you doing later? smiley icon: wink

  9. Matt Wilcox posted 4 days, 12hrs, 38mins after the entry and said:

    We’ve been over this before Mr Tim…

    No.

    1) You don’t make me nearly enough coffey. Once a year is not enough.
    2) You’re too old. And Married. With kids.
    3) And you’re not a lady.

    And with those three strikes you’re out.

    smiley icon: laugh

  10. Matt Wilcox posted 4 days, 12hrs, 39mins after the entry and said:

    Now stop slacking off nd do some work.

  11. The Scream Extractor posted 4 days, 12hrs, 45mins after the entry and said:

    Ahh, but you are forgetting…

    1) Coffee is bad for you.
    2) Yes, I am older and wiser and have had more success in the lady department
    3) I once walked past ‘Zamo’ from Grange Hill in Concept Man, Oxford St., London.

    Beautifully parried (smug face icon thing here.)

  12. Matt Wilcox posted 4 days, 12hrs, 48mins after the entry and said:

    1) Which is why I make you so much every day, with a smile on my face. smiley icon: yum
    2) OK, you’ve had more success with the ladies, and you’re definitely older. Wiser… debatable.
    3) Who the hell is ‘Zamo’

    You couldn’t parry a wet paper towel (which is both metaphorically and literally a true statement)

  13. The Scream Extractor posted 4 days, 12hrs, 55mins after the entry and said:

    Look, look, calm down. Surely we can come to some compromise.

    1) I only drink your coffee because I don’t want to offend you.
    2) At least I look younger than I am, and not older than I am, like you.
    3) If you were old like me you would know who Zamo was and…

    …aaagggggggghhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!

    (long pause).

    You… (long pause) got… (long pause) me.(long pause)

    Dying breath (released from limp body)






    Only a coffe can bring me back now.

    *goes to make a coffee*

  15. The Scream Extractor posted 4 days, 13hrs, 7mins after the entry and said:

    I knew there was something I liked about you. I take back everything I said about you while you were out of the room making a coffee.

    You’re a lifesaver!


    P.S. You didn’t spike my drink did you? It tastes bitter. (little face icon with quizzical look on it).

  16. Matt Wilcox posted 4 days, 14hrs, 7mins after the entry and said:

    You mean there’s something you like about me besides my ass? (devilish cackle)

    I spiked your drink with only the purest sugar. -purest- sugar.

  17. The Scream Extractor posted 4 days, 14hrs, 11mins after the entry and said:

    As long as the ingredients weren’t ‘home made’ that’s fine by me. ;# (Winking and blowing a kiss at the same with a knowing look on face, slightly cheeky type face icon)

    By the way my shirt has Red and White stripes it’s not pink!

  19. Matt Wilcox posted 4 days, 15hrs, 0mins after the entry and said:

    If you’re up close sure its striped, when you’re further away than a good hitting distance the strips merge into a pink colour. Don’t worry, it’s totally manly, and in with ‘the kids’ too. Watch Alfie.

    What the hell has all this got to do with your PC setup anyway?

    Lol, thanks for that 5 mins of laughs!!

  23. Matt Wilcox posted 13 days, 9hrs, 57mins after the entry and said:

    I have just realised how much the desk top is bent by the weight of those monitors. That’s a desktop with an additional desktop on top of the original desktop too. And it still bends.

    Roll on my shiny (and light weight) DELL Ultrasharp 2005FPW. *glee*
