My Office
I work in an old farmhouse, modified for software development purposes at Whitley
in West Yorkshire. This is my desk:
There are actually two computers, one for legacy work and one for current development.
The legacy machine runs VC6 and Delphi 5, the current machine runs VS2005, VC6 and
Delphi 7.
The current dev machine is a 3GHz Core Duo with 4G of RAM and an NVidia
Quadro board so I can have up to four displays, though I only use three. The two
main displays are 20" 1600x1200 HP LCDs, and these displays are also shared with
the legacy machine. The keyboard and mouse go through a mini USB KVM (the video
port is unused). In case you were wondering, the application running on the left-hand
monitor is Delphi.
The keyboard is a Microsoft Natural 4000. The mouse is a cheapo Logitech that I
have now replaced with an MS Explorer I has spare at home.
The third display is an older 18" 1280x1024, which is mainly used for email and
utilities.

Yes, that weird little thing just to left of my mug is indeed a speedloader, a relic
of my shooting days. I used to own a Smith and Wesson model 686 .357 magnum, though
I mostly put .38 wadcutter handloads through it to save money. Handguns like this
are illegal now in the UK.
The shells kept in it are some of those (expended) .38 handloads. I use it as a
"think-toy" now: when I need to think, it keeps my hands busy.
