Re: Ask HN: What does your home office look like?
#32A single Ikea desk, beside a window that has good blinds, on the 19th floor of a building with a view over North London. Under the desk a UPS, NAS (18TB RAID6), the WiFi plus a single powerful workstation (16-core, 192GB RAM, SSD for main drive, 6TB RAID0 scratch disks). On the desk some books, a bottle of single malt whisky, a playstation (dusty and not wired up) and a scanner. A single large monitor (high quality).…
You need a NAS when you have 18TB in your main machine? How big is the NAS?
Corrected, the NAS is 18TB, in the workstation the disks are RAID0 for fast scratch (creating and destroying virtual machines).

#34Desk, chair, laptop. That's really it for me and I find it's all I need. Although I am interested in trying a standing desk.

#35I moved out of the US a year ago to travel around the world but never left the first city I visited in asia. I work from home. My split level condo is on the 40th floor with a view of the sunset, ocean, and the city skyline. My office moves from living room to bedroom depending on houseguests. I have 2 27" apple cinema displays; each on its own aidata laptop desk that can be raised so I can stand or sit. I have a cha…
> Despite all that, I think the best part is that my gf (who is half my age) hangs out on the couch next to me.
Sexpat?

#36I work from my apartment in the Plateau Mont-Royal neighborhood in Montreal. It's a small prewar apartment, and the living room has its original stucco walls.
I work sometimes from my desk, sometimes from a standing standing at the other side of the room by the window, and sometimes from neighborhood cafes.
I posted pictures of my setup to /r/minimalism a while ago. Note that I have since failed to keep up this system perfectly, but often my desk does look like this. Seeing what I posted has inspired me to deal with loose paper better, which is my main cause of clutter.

#37I recently set up a new home office: http://i.imgur.com/mSTllTC.jpg it's nice to finally have a decent space to work in. Having a comfortable spot that I enjoy being in has definitely improved my productivity. My goal is to eventually work from home.. maybe 2014 will be my year :)
I like the idea of a fish bowl on the desk! Where did you get that one from?
It's actually just a big vase :)

#39I work from home full time, and live across the road from the English Channel (St Leonards On Sea), in a Victorian Maisonette. My office is on the 3rd floor with bay windows overlooking the sea. The office room itself is largish, with 1.5 sofas, and a small table for tea. I have two desks - one sitting and one standing. My sitting desk is for writing code only. My standing desk is for everything else (meetings, email…
Beautiful

#40Here's part of my current home office: http://imgur.com/ERUHALo
* Motorized adjustable standing desk from the Ikea (Linak legs; whole thing was under €600), in standing mode. Yes, fixed standing desks are not going to work, you need to be able to alternate between standing and sitting throughout the day.
* On the left, Synology DS213j, TP-Link TD-W8970 ADSL2+ Modem router and Meissner 750VA UPS to keep my internet connection going during Eskom (South African electricity supplier) power outages / load shedding (tested, works a treat! with laptops charged, I can continue accessing internet for a few hours of no power. Telkom exchanges have their own power supplies)
* Cheap laptop with IPS display (see http://wp.me/p1dVx9-6k ) connected to Samsung external LCD. You're seeing Emacs on the left with Zenburn theme, and Intellij IDEA 13 on the right with Darcula IDE + Solarized Dark editor themes, everything still on Ubuntu 12.04.
* My corner is indeed quite cluttered, but comfortable to work in. :)
