My girlfriend - uh, the girl that is, not the elephant. The elephant is just an elephant getting on a bus.
Hah, no, CCFE - the Culham Centre for Fusion Energy, where I recently visited the JET experimental fusion reactor. Was very fun

Wow! It's hard to believe you could be so neat and organised! Hmm, maybe you photoshopped all the mess out...?

I do have some dignity, and it has crossed my mind to edit out or enhance some photos, but this is my space and I am what I am.

No im not that An el, but there is an vague order, all the movies in my collection are Scifi/Fantasy.
Those dang Americans.....
Hi,
the bridge of the ship at home is actually an ongoing experiment with hooking hardware to simulation(s):
sorry, but there's no index to the numbered items.
2 computers drive a total of 4 different displays. one is connected to a projector, with an 8 foot screen (actually sign material, it was too cheap to pass up).
it's actually a 2-seater, the guy on the right sees the same thing that #5 shows via a splitter.
that's why I always like the option to just see "what's out the window" as opposed to overlaying the cockpit interiors.
this shot is the system fired up and running "Orbiter":
http://orbit.medphys.ucl.ac.uk/
for those who want "real physics", you might think twice after running this simulation software.
the computers are getting tired though, and it's not clear that the new Elite will run on this.

<bows head>
I had no idea there _were_ that many sci-fi/fantasy movies!
That is, unless you've collected even the bad ones for the mere joy of collecting... :S
Eyefinity, only way to get a single start window in win 8, as out of the box under extended windows on win 8 only sits on one, which is silly, big screen defs are one thing but FOV is another! It needs thinking out especially inside buildings, which can be distracting.
dude you either need to get a girlfriend or get out and meet people.
I believe the correct term in this circumstance is not "Girlfriend" but rather "Copilot".
Here is a picture of my desk:
The left monitor is my main monitor, I like big monitors. The right one I have borrowed to figure out how to get a 2nd monitor to work (apparently I need an adaptor as they are both VGA)
I have a clock on my desk because I normally lose track of time when playing games.
I have an Apple keyboard. It looks cool but can be a pain to use at times.
On the right is my Competition Pro joystick. It is a modern USB version and I bought it from Maplin just as they stopped selling it because I wanted it for sentimental reasons. It was the joystick I had in '85 when I had a C64.
On the edge where the joystick is you can just see my Sony headphones. I screwed a hook in the edge of the pullout shelf to hang them on.
On the very left of the picture you can just see my HP printer and sat on top of it, my 2GB external hard drive
My desk isn't normally this tidy. It normally has all sorts of junk on it, but I borrowed the 2nd monitor yesterday and cleared the desk off to put the monitor on it.
What you can't see is the white leather armchair I sit in (and no, I am not making that up).

...especially during fast right-left pans
I use softth to "drive" European Truck Simulator 2. it's really good to be able to see both mirrors at the same time.

i'd kill for an actual triple-head arrangement, but never planned to use my dual-head arrangement for wide-screen gaming. I usually work the stock market on the right screen, and play populous on the left.
That is impressive ... me wants...especially during fast right-left pans

I like that setup, having your monitor display across both for the photo looks impressive, ive got room for another monitor but at this point in time I cant think what I would use a second one for.

The incredible picture!
And there at the top? another monitor?
