Should I have gone to 5CC and pretended I was at the Google office?

#63I'm pretty happy with the desk setup. The one thing I would add is a helper to come and tidy it every few hours :) http://www.querycell.com/da_desk.jpg
Do you use both machines? What's up on the wall?
Yes I use both machines. I often use the one on the left for recording screencasts and for testing different configurations.
The wall has a bunch of project notes and motivational stuff
"There is 0 value is fear and anxiety" "Differentiate every day"
and my favorite
"The thoughts of others were light and fleeting, of lovers meeting or luck or fame, mine were of trouble and mine were steady, and I was ready when trouble came - Houseman".

#64Idea: site that lets people show off things they own/ setups. Girls would love it for fashion, guys with cars, geeks with comp setups,etc. Also shoe collectors.

#65I'm definitely in the minority running Windows (x64).

How do you deal with so many screens? Doesn't your neck hurt?

#66This is my work setup:
* Macbook Pro
* 24" Monitor (primary)
* Macbook LCD (terminal, skype)
* iPad 3G
* Kinesis keyboard
* Aeron chair
Not pictured: mini-refrigerator stocked with sugarfree redbull. :)
My home setup is nearly identical, except I have a 30" Dell monitor instead (which is actually a huge improvement).

Not really. I sit back about 3 feet and my chair's pretty comfortable.

That's me, running ArchLinux. This is in London in a co-working space in Shoreditch.
EDIT: I find 2 or at the maximum 3 screens to be optimum but i do keep a separate laptop for communication, browsing activities. When i need isolation I simply close my communication machine, the main "work" machine does not have IM,Email and has a very strict firewall.

#69I'm very surprised that no one is standing up while working. I tried a couple times in the past, but never stuck with it. Prompted by an article I read this morning, I tried again this afternoon: http://bit.ly/dyBXft (my live reactions on Twitter).
It is a bit tiring, but it has an amazing way of focusing your mind.
Anyone here has done this on an extended period of time? How was your workspace structured?

#70I renovated a corner of my uncle's garage into an office for my startup. Started off with just a custom built linux box and a desk for webdev.
Since then I've added a MacMini, MBP, and iPad for doing iP([oa]d|hone) development (oh and some mountain dew).
