I’ve had such a hideously unproductive day today, responding to a thread on urban75<\/a> asking for people to post up pictures of their desktops was just about the only thing I achieved.<\/p>\n

So here it is. Da-daa! My desk (looking unfeasibly tidy after a bit of a sort out over the weekend).<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Sharp eyed readers will note the knackered blinds to the left (one of the pull strings broke so it now only goes up on one side) and a rather ancient Wacom art tablet.<\/p>\n

\"Logitech<\/p>\n

The keyboard is the rather flash Logitech diNovo Edge Bluetooth<\/a> which I got to review last year.<\/p>\n

It’s a veritable smudgy finger magnet but is delightfully slim and space age looking with its glowing lights.<\/p>\n

Another object your beady eyes may have clocked is the Pure Digital DMX-60 DAB radio\/CD player on the shelf (I reviewed its predecessor the DMX-50<\/a> back in 2005).<\/p>\n

The system lacks power big time, but the radio ‘rewind’ feature is indispensible – I only wish the feature was available on more mini music systems.<\/p>\n

The phone to the right is a BT Verve, picked up from Amazon for just \ufffd13. The sound quality is OK but it’s one of the few landline phones that looks like it may have come from this century.<\/p>\n

\"Oregon<\/b><\/p>\n

Next to the two four year old Viewsonic monitors is an Oregon Scientific Wireless Easy Weather System Pro<\/a>, which sounds really posh, but is a basic barometer\/thermometer that talks to a sensor outside my window.<\/p>\n

It’s usually quite accurate and offers an inside\/outside temperature readout – thanks to sitting in a room full of not-particularly efficient or new equipment, the weather inside is usually set to ‘Scorchio.’<\/p>\n

And there you have it. My desktop. Send us a link to yours!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
