My Improved Home Office

I promised a friend to put up some images of my new improved home office. I spend about 50% of my time working from home, and recently upgraded my home environment.

The new things are:

Upgraded screen for the Mac (21"), on which I do most of my testing (it is the same one that I used for my LeMans setup)
New lamps (their intensity can be adjusted just by touching them)
New legs for my desk
New legs for the drawer under my desk

BTW: The wooden thing in front of my desk is actually a bamboo room divider from IKEA that I cut in half.

Why so _many_ computers?

Thomas Baekdal - Jan. 22, 2008

Because I work so efficiently that one computer cannot keep up with me :)

Actually, in most days I am "only" working on two computers (Dell and Mac), the Lenovo computer is running because I needed some files from it.

But, it is very nice to have two computer (or at least two screens).

I use my Dell computer to create the concepts and the web applications I make. The Mac is then used for live testing, comparing concepts, and to look up information. This saves having to switch between windows.

I have found that I work much faster this way.

I also use the mac as my TV, Video, Music station - and as a secondary email "notifier".

BTW: If you think I am nuts, take a look at Jason Garms' four screen setup.

Surreal but nice - as Hugh Grant would have put it!:-)

Saves you having to swap keyboard and mouse all the time. Move the mouse off the edge of one computer, and it appears on the other computer!

I use it with the laptop sitting beside my desktop PC and can't live without it.

Binaries for Linux, OSX and Windows available (and source code if push comes to shove).

Great setup. I was wondering about the three computers but you already answered it. Now I am wondering what the 4 screen setup is for.

Thanks for the pictures, It gave me a nice idea on how to setup mine.
