Thought I would post a quick picture of my desk, its quite a state atm; but is quite a pleasant place to work. And the light is usually that high, its very bright so I keep it out of direct sight. (Click of larger image)

I got my PC down on the right behind the chair, its 2.2ghz, 4gig RAM, and at the moment running Vista and Debian (I am working on some software for a client running linux). To the left of my monitor is my EEE PC 701, basically an email terminal, but also run IM and do random research on there. I am running synergy which allows me to move mouse and keyboard between the two, but have a spare mouse there still for some reason.

You can just see my 360 down on the right, there is a KVM switch on the floor (so I can switch using my foot!) and my current electronics project on the left of the desk. And the rest is random equipment / books / rubbish

Oh and microdirect suck, put an order in for a new router last Thursday (current router dies more often than I drink coffee, and I drink a lot of coffee), paid for next working day delivery. Ok, so I put the order in at midnight, but 1 working day after Friday is Monday, and with 2 non-working days in between Monday is a good guess, wrong, its late on Tuesday and its not here yet Long live ebuyer !!!

Thought I might give a quick shout out to the good people at Sparkfun! (As they do seem to leech a fair amount of my student loan…).

Anyhow, if you are looking for development boards, PIC Programmers, even GPS or GPRS modules this is the place to go. Even when taking into account the cost of UK delivery they beat the pants off what little competition they have.

They also have a great PCB pool service called BatchPCB, it may be slow but the quality makes up for this. That and some active forums and you have what should be a great recipe!

Keep it up Nathan.
