We've had
desktops and sunsets here's where I work

(OK so I know my digital camera is still a novelty - I've only had it a week!)

**ghost ryder** · May 11th, 2001, 07:53 AM

In all seriousness, this is where I work, but I don't know if the link will work (it's one of those panoramic view thingies).

http://www.discoveralberta.com/Photo...s/10-2446.html

My office block is the furthest on the left. I'm on the 18th floor (weird numbering system they have here. Ground floor is 1st floor etc., but they skip the 13th Floor i.e. It goes from 12 to 14. Are the people on the 14th floor really so stupid that they don't realise they are really on the 13th!!!) Mad as a hatter.

And this is where I want to be working. Banff (the town in the picture is about an hours drive away in the Rockies).

I'm going there this weekend for some fun

**Static** · May 11th, 2001, 11:33 AM

SD - you work on the streets?

I wont ask any more....

Just kidding...

I have always wondered why no 13 floor...(on the elevators)
like you said..its still the 13th floor! just some idiot put the wrong numbers up!!

**SurfDemon** · May 11th, 2001, 11:36 AM

Re: The 13th Floor. I'm frightened to tell the Canadians in case they haven't noticed yet

I tell you, it so hot out today I wish I was working the streets... er, okay, I didn't really say that out loud did I?

**Static** · May 11th, 2001, 11:39 AM

LOL

you could beg passerby's to use the cig lighter socket in their car for your laptop....

**kedaman** · May 11th, 2001, 11:48 AM

i wonder how they implement that:

Code:

|-16| |------------------|
|-15| |------------------|
|-14| |------------------| <-part that floats
    | | <- elevatorshaft
|-12| |------------------| 
|-11| |------------------|
|-10| |------------------|
|-09| |------------------|

**SurfDemon** · May 11th, 2001, 11:51 AM

Big Big opposing magnets?

**kedaman** · May 11th, 2001, 11:54 AM

yeah, i thought about magnetic leviation too but that's a bit too expensive. there must be some kind of trick involved, you know with mirrors and stuff

**SurfDemon** · May 11th, 2001, 12:00 PM

Maybe there is a 13th floor, but the elevator/lift just passes it by. It could be just lying empty gathering dust.

Maybe Canadians have difficulty counting with the big numbers (i.e. more than 10) and get confused.

We had a fire alarm in this building a while back. The tannoy message was "There has been a fire alarm on the 23rd floor. Will the 23rd floor only,evacuate. I repeat, will the 23rd floor only, evacuate."

Now it's a 28 storey building. You can bet your ass that if I was on the 24th (or above) floor I'd be evacuating after a message like that. It makes you wonder about some people.

**SurfDemon** · May 11th, 2001, 12:25 PM

And this is where I'll be spending a good chunk of this afternoon

Have fun,

SD

**kedaman** · May 11th, 2001, 12:28 PM

If everyone from 22-24 had to evacuate there would be some trafic with the elevators, i think, so maybe they had to evacuate from the most worst zone first.

**kedaman** · May 11th, 2001, 12:31 PM

yeah i think you can have all the fun, i'm too busy doing nothing these days

chenko · May 11th, 2001, 12:56 PM

chenko · May 11th, 2001, 01:14 PM

Desk? Whats that?.........oh! you mean the mess that I sit in front of

here it is.....

billfaceuk · May 11th, 2001, 01:39 PM

That last picture was just obviously an advert for 'Orangina'. I demand the name of the drink to be pixelated.

BTW Dr. Pepper rulez...

**HarryW** · May 11th, 2001, 03:33 PM

Umm... my room is just full of crap. My bed takes up about a third of the whole room, other than that I have a suitcase, a load of boxes with CDs and books in, a box of electrical stuff, some more boxes stacked up with a TV on top, small desk with computer on, some shelves with more books and CDs and a stereo, and some box files.

chenko · May 12th, 2001, 04:57 AM

I lost my data cable too, Do you have a comfact flash card? if you have a laptop you should get a card reader...fast and it cost me £3.90 !!!!

**parksie** · May 12th, 2001, 06:26 AM

Getting a data cable for my phone soon

As soon as my 17" gets fixed (well...when I bother to phone tech support

) I'll be back using that.

**Xenonic_Rob** · May 12th, 2001, 09:08 AM

I have an MP3 player... nice piece of tech that.

The Creative Jukebox - here - holds 6 gig! Yay! It should do @ the price tho :-) But it's value for money - 5p per meg :-)

**SteveCRM** · May 12th, 2001, 10:36 AM

I have an mp3 player but it runs out of batteries before I can play the whole thing!

sorry my webcam is attached to the computer so I can't send a picture of it

**kedaman** · May 12th, 2001, 10:44 AM

22"?? Baby stuff

I normally use my 21" screen for programming, but use a projection screen for playing unreal, microsoft combat flight sim and watching DVD's. I only have enough wall to display about 15' of screen, but we have had it up to 20'.

**Jamagei** · May 12th, 2001, 12:01 PM

My desk is quite small at home. I have a load of empty CD cases in my desk shelves (preferring to keep them in CD holders) A bottle of half empty JD, my Saitek Cyborg Jostick, Crappy 15" monitor that is gonna be replaced soon. My mobile phone, a BNC connecter, two sattelite speakers, a sub-woofer, a 5 port Hub, some Purple coloured stones (can't remember the name, but apparently are good for dispelling bad energies caused by computers.... don't ask crazy g/f). A colur print cartrigde and a Tankard that my skittles team got for being runners up in our division, Deodorant, A Troll that is dressed like Elvis, My katana sits on the top shelf of the Desk, one of those irritating ballbearing games that are nearly immpossible to do (you know where you have to get them all in place), the Current fantasy book i am reading. I'd have my Plasma ball on here as well if it could fit.

Anyone know of a good webcam that isn't all that expensive?

**SteveCRM** · May 12th, 2001, 09:00 PM

My camera was $80 (US) about 1 year ago...its an Intel. They aren't too expensive.
