Re: Show us your workstations

Re: Show us your workstations
 

Well to me it looks like a mad bomber's workshop, like in the movies :D

Re: Show us your workstations
 

Well if anyone wants some information on my play area as in what equipement is in the pic's and why etc I will glady explain, Im just an average Joe trying to save a few pennies on repair bills my end.

Re: Show us your workstations
 

Sounds good. No point paying silly prices when you can mend something yourself :tu:

Re: Show us your workstations
 

:)

Re: Show us your workstations
 

A fridge next to the 'work' area. Good thinking :tu: :)

Re: Show us your workstations
 

Fridge with excessive amounts of beer :)

Re: Show us your workstations
 

There is no such thing ;)

Re: Show us your workstations
 

Only that I need a bigger fridge.


For even more beer.

Re: Show us your workstations
 

Ah, fair point :)

Re: Show us your workstations
 

I thought it was some sort of monster cpu cooling rig :dunce:

Re: Show us your workstations
 

Don't tempt me :D

Re: Show us your workstations
 

Computer at work :-(

Re: Show us your workstations
 

Ahh RM.. lol.. haven't seen one of those in ages.. they've changed em too.. they used to be beige.

Re: Show us your workstations
 

Ah you're a teacher then?

And poorly specced... probably still are

Re: Show us your workstations
 

Oh how I hate RM, we had them in college horrible machines with all the power of a Austin Metro firing on 1cylinder with shotrings and smoking more than the trotters car.

Re: Show us your workstations
 

RM (far from Research Machines!) + a ring network with all the software loaded onto the server not the machines = half a lesson free!!!!

Re: Show us your workstations
 

A minor update to my workstation...

Re: Show us your workstations
 

blimey, i don't think I could cope with that, but presumably it suits if your peripheral vision is better than 'straight on'. ??

is that a little speaker, bottom right? - what on earth did you spill on it :erm:

Re: Show us your workstations
 

Actually that's before I've messed with my screen magnifier (I'll be posting a wallpaper soon ;)) - My missus managed to spill candle wax on that speaker.

I may well get some more speakers soon - as I do tend to rely on the speakers to read out my stuff.

Re: Show us your workstations
 

Have you thought about whether you could earn a living as an 'expert' in the field of using modern technology, while visually challenged??

Re: Show us your workstations
 

If only I was that clever!!! As it happens I do a bit of that type of thing helping people out with a local sight charity.

Re: Show us your workstations
 

Why doesn't that surprise me :)

Re: Show us your workstations
 

I was so pleased to see you got the right words on the house ;)

Re: Show us your workstations
 

Some of my boys best work :)

Re: Show us your workstations
 

Oh and.

Yes it is loud, its lovely and the clarity and bass is amazing, some Nightwish and Witheld Tempation brings a huge smile to my face :D

Re: Show us your workstations
 

Good choice :tu:

Re: Show us your workstations
 

Only the best :D

Re: Show us your workstations
 

This is mine...its rather tidy.

Re: Show us your workstations
 

Not posting mine as it is always full of stuff lol

Re: Show us your workstations
 

Mine is as well lol.

Re: Show us your workstations
 

I'm betting thats staged and there is a great pile of junk to the left of the desk out of sight. ;)

Re: Show us your workstations
 

Axegrinder how long did you spend cleaning up the desk?

I aint even going to put a picture of my desk online now.....its a wayyy big a mess boxes of cables left and right of the desk, then the desk itself is just a spare computer really.

Re: Show us your workstations
 

5 Posts in, and already posting pictures of your house!? You're brave!

Re: Show us your workstations
 

I like the messy pics, get them on!! They're much better than the boring tidy ones.

Zeph why's he brave for posting a pic of his computer cos he's new?

Re: Show us your workstations
 

My workspace never really gets messy.... Don't suppose there's room

Re: Show us your workstations
 

messy eh?

You're not getting a look at the grubby keyboard though :p

Re: Show us your workstations
 

Where did you buy your workstation, like it just what i need.

Re: Show us your workstations
 

Damn your pc must get toasty inside with that radiator behind it?

Re: Show us your workstations
 

My desk was form PC World. It cost around £50. ;)

It was relatively easy to put up, only the fixing the keyboard holder on is very fiddly.

Re: Show us your workstations
 

Here is mine as you can see i thoroughly tidied it Attachment 14400

Re: Show us your workstations
 

.. cos now we can see if there's anything worth nickin'.
I'll nick anything I will, I'm a little bit wooo, little wayyy, etc, etc

Re: Show us your workstations
 

From Liverpool? :disturbd:

Re: Show us your workstations

Re: Show us your workstations
 

I hereby endorse v0id's choice of speakers.

Re: Show us your workstations
 

They are good ones my partner has the same ones

Re: Show us your workstations

Re: Show us your workstations
 

That's disgusting! - Instant mash - yuk!

Re: Show us your workstations
 

Oh yes and (when conditions are right) I talk to people all over the world on the radios as well.

Actually, looks worse than it is, anyway you did say that you preferred messy to tidy ;)

Si thee

Re: Show us your workstations
 

Where or how do you use a mouse?? Got to admit thats going to take some beating. I take it you're single. :D And isn't msn so much easier these days to talk to people all over world, it is the 21st century after all. :)

Re: Show us your workstations

Re: Show us your workstations

Re: Show us your workstations
 

They're a bit tiddly, I prefer proper speakers & an amp. ;)

Wow! Someone actually managed to make my place look tidy by comparison! :shocked:

Each to their own, I actually prefer instant.

Re: Show us your workstations
 

I think many o these are play stations as apose to work stations are they not.Thats all mines are anyway.:)

I do like to keep em clean though and if theres one thing i wont have it`s a messed up work station.Not that i have do much cleaning myself mind you........the wife does a perfectly good job while i`m at work.:)

Re: Show us your workstations
 

Well can you send her round to my desk to tidy it up as mine is always a mess :D

Re: Show us your workstations
 

My acceleration from a standing start aint what it used to be so i`ll pass on asking her that one me thinks:shocked:

Re: Show us your workstations
 

Probably a safe plan :D lol

Re: Show us your workstations
 

LMAO - I love the vasaline within reach, its not just forums you look at then is it hehehe :Yikes:

And people still use brasso?

Looks like someones trying to send signals to another planet :D

Re: Show us your workstations
 

Heres mine, not very clear but what the hell.

Re: Show us your workstations
 

Fess up - how long did you spend tidying before you took that pic? :p:

Re: Show us your workstations
 

LOL, About an hour ;)

Re: Show us your workstations
 

I'd post another copy of mie but it stays pretty much the same......

Re: Show us your workstations
 

Vaseline? I'm sure I don't know what you mean, I just use it as a lubricating agent for various bit of machinery. :erm: Yes some of us still use Brasso - it's great for polishing - all in the wrist action don't-you-know. :dozey: ;)

As far as radio is concerned you're not that far off the mark, it's called moon-bounce (EME) for short. At the right frequencies (UHF and above) it makes a fantastic radio signal reflector. ;)

Re: Show us your workstations
 

OMG!!! LOL!!! :D

Re: Show us your workstations
 

This one is especially for gavin - just so he can see which box he is ssh'd into :)

Re: Show us your workstations
 

I thought you'd replaced all your CRTs with LCDs?

Re: Show us your workstations
 

That looks like a magnifier unit attached to that monitor ?

Re: Show us your workstations
 

Yes - on the computers I actually USE.

---------- Post added at 18:19 ---------- Previous post was at 18:18 ----------

Sure is, it's a cctv magnifier, with pc pass through :) Amazing bit of kit, I only wish it was mine lol.

Re: Show us your workstations
 

My workstation as of 6.15 tonight :)

Sorry for the mess :sleep:

Re: Show us your workstations
 

I wouldn't worry about the mess - if I was a mean daddy I'd show you Peters pc workstation now THAT'S a mess :)

Re: Show us your workstations
 

Love the Old Git number plate :D

Re: Show us your workstations
 

Ah, right.

Re: Show us your workstations
 

Nice shack are the two yaesu's 290 and 790 ?

Re: Show us your workstations
 

Wasn't gonna join in this one but the photos with ham radio equipment in them made me think I should post mine.

If any like minded people are interested, the radio on the right of the monitor is a Kenwood TS-480SAT, and the radio to the right of that is a Kenwood TM-D700E. I've also got a Dartcom APT Weather Sat reciever that you can see to the lower right of the picture.

Re: Show us your workstations
 

Close - actually an FT290 and an FT690. The FT690 (6 Meters) is used the most during the summer (sporadic E's) of which (this year) up to now has been pretty poor. Although did manage to work an Israeli station (KM73 square) on the magic band a fortnight ago - not bad considering I'm only running 15 Watts into a dipole.

Are you active and which bands?

73's

G6YPU

---------- Post added at 21:13 ---------- Previous post was at 21:05 ----------

Your shack's far too tidy and no home brew stuff in view LOL! Nice kit HF/50Mhz which are you most active on? Would like to run HF myself but the QTH isn't big enough for conventional long wires and a multiband beam antenna would attract too much attention.

sigh.............!

73's

Re: Show us your workstations
 

I'd apologise for the wall paper if I were you :D

Re: Show us your workstations
 

Nice and neat shack Jon T, I had one tidy like that for about 9 minutes just after I meet the xyl hi good radio's the 480's not had or tried a TM-D700E.

I posted my desktop with radio gear on here a short while ago should still be on here, the 690's have an excellent frontend I still have one knocking round somewhere amoung all my junk.

I am still active but mainly on digi modes at present I have from HF to 23cm but I just float around never in one place long enough to call home if you know what I mean and only use repeaters if mobile or out and and about.

The antenna's a wire dipole HF, V-2000 6/2/70, X-7000 2/70/23 vertical and a couple of 23cms Tonna 55 element yagis (only one up), trusty old cobweb 20 to 10m (when I put it back up and ideal for limited space!),CP6 vertical 80 to 6m and a Balcony antenna 80 to 10m in the loft.

Re: Show us your workstations
 

I'm QRV from 80m to 70cm, excluding 4m, mainly 20m PSK31, sometimes a bit of RTTY and SSTV. 2m is almosrt 100% APRS, and 70cm tends to sit monitoring GB3MD. I have a Watson W-300 co-linear for 2m/70cm and a Sandpiper MV-V6 Vertical for HF+6m.

I do a hell of lot more listening that transmitting though.

I did have a "cobweb" style antenna that was called a "GM3VLB mini-delta", low noise and great DX, must get another one in the near future.

Re: Show us your workstations
 

andrew how long did you spend cleaning your area? your desk is just wayyyy too shiny

Re: Show us your workstations
 

A bank of speakers and (what looks like) a light show capability - I'm glad I don't live next door to you. :shocked: I'll bet it's not Mozart, Beethoven, or Vivaldi that you play through those either :erm: LOL Mind you, a bit of Wagner would certainly wake up the neighbors.:D

Si thee

Re: Show us your workstations
 

I'm betting it's more like Nightwish or Within Temptation! ;)

Re: Show us your workstations
 

Oh yes :) and I am toying with buying another one of those Sonys :dozey::D, as for my new desk it's about three weeks old. I do clean it once a week I normally strip pc once a month to clean all dust out of it, since we have four doggies so dust is a real issue.

Re: Show us your workstations
 

This is the work shop It has one Windows Server 2000, One computer still running Windows 3.1 and another running Win 98 and Windows 2000 then in the far corner an old Mac.

I also have a laptop on a Wifi so no I'm not computer mad :p:

Re: Show us your workstations
 

Cheers for those......
Now i might be able to shut the wife up once and for all:D

I think she forgets we have 5 children at times and they all need computers,and spare parts for them.......ahem.....:angel:

Mind you, she might also try sticking me in the boxroom if shes sees them,or the shed even:)

I think i`ll pass after all.......bad idea:dozey:
