My workstation setup

This morning I followed a Twitter link to a new website called Workstation Setups – a place where web/techie folks can show off their kick-ass office cribs. Because I already had a photo of my workspace to prove to a friend that I really did work on an ironing board, I sent mine in. Here’s the photo:

I know what you’re thinking. ‘How can he turn out the sites he does working on that?’. That, or you’re thinking ‘Now this explains a lot…’

The truth is the iBook is starting to crumble a bit. Everything on iPlayer is like a Ray Harryhausen stop motion film, Photoshop takes 10 minutes to start up, and when it’s running I can’t have more than two palettes open at once without completely covering up what I’m working on.

But the ironing board… well I quite like it. It’s adjustable. The whole thing’s ready made mouse mat. And right now, with most of the downstairs being renovated & redecorated – and simply no space in the house for the luxury of a desk – it’s the best I can do.

As for workstationsetups.com, I very much doubt they’ll add this to their showcase. But you never know. Maybe they’ll take pity on me. Maybe there’s a West Coast Office Furniture out there where they’ll send my ironing board to be pimped. Or maybe not.

Still, the fireplaces is coming on though, right?

Update, 23 October: They published it straightaway , and I got this from the site owner:

Of course that I will include it ! In fact, I already posted it before I replied to your email . WorkstationSetups.com is not just about the sickest workstations. It’s about ALL workstation setups.

So I’m happy to be proved wrong. Though I think he might have meant slickest workstations…
