Your user name throws me off every time I see it.
And my real last name is not even lampe :D
Didn't know that this can be a real last name ;)
Lampe is actually the German word for lamp/light.
It's also the surname of some Germans from Westphalia that moved to the US in the late 1800s.
Oh 👌 okay
Didn't knew that too
You always learn.
I lived in north Germany
Which keyboard?
Redragon K561RGB
I love the little yoshi's!
Only the little yoshi? 😂 No love for the big one 🤣
I meant both! 😂
I figured they were both little considering Yoshi is a Dinosaur but touché 😂 should have clarified
One of them is easy bigger then the other in size 😂👍😉
Wow... that is absolutely nice! love this view! One question, how much does it cost?
My workspace is a work in progress for sure, but I like it! This is the desk I use working 100% remote.
Looks cosy, love that rocket 🙂
TY, that was the Endeavor Award I won years ago at Team One. My coworkers 3D printed it!
This workspace is about to get a HUGE upgrade.
The transformation is complete. 2019 2.3 GHz 8-core Core i9 MacBook Pro w/ 32GB of RAM and eGPU w/ 8GB RX580. 2 1080p monitors, 1 iPad mini monitor, 2X 4TB external hard drives to backup w/ redundancy, Magic Keyboard 2, Magic Trackpad 2, coffee cup coaster, wireless charger, pair of Sony headphones.
Do find getting the eGPU is worth it? I have the same MacBook Pro, but I didn't change out the GPU so just the Radeon 560x. I recently got the 4k LG and had a Lenovo usb-c monitor, however I have noticed when plugged into the external displays my build times have increased dramatically.
seems to be really comfortable!
I may or may not have an addiction to Surface devices...
For the record I have:
That wallpaper is really cool! Where might I acquire a copy?
It's a cropped version of the image from popchart.co/products/the-chart-of-...
+1 for the wallpaper 🥰
Debating picking up one of the new surfaces when they release. How you find the smaller screen for coding? Or do you always have the monitor wired up?
It's worked well for me, I've used Pro1 and Pro4 as primary dev devices. I like to be mobile, so the form factor works well for portability, but for anything really intense, I will have an external screen or two (home office I have 1 screen, city office I have 2).
Interesting! I'm pretty mobile as well, and tend to only use a single monitor when working at my own desk so think that would work well.
Cheers for the reply :-)
If you get a Pro then it'll take a bit to get use to using it on a lap, since there isn't much "bottom" to it. I know a lot of people hate trying to use it on a lap, but I never found issues with it (I'd use it on flights, trains, in a car and on the couch), but I am over 6' so I have longer legs than average to support it. 😜
Yeah, that's a good point actually. I do tend to spend a bit of time sitting on the sofa, but I assume you could just buy a solid mat of some kind to sit on your lap.
So tempted by the pro 7!!! :)
do you use the surface keyboard or is there a keyboard hiding somewhere? Are both surface's connected to the screen or?
I use the keyboard on the laptop (so the Book2 keyboard or the TypeCover on my Pro4's). Having had laptops exclusively for a decade and working in consulting I would always be mobile so I grew use to working just off my laptop rather than relying on anything external. I do have a MS Natural Keyboard off screen but I don't have an external mouse so I only use it to control my Pi (which is under the monitor).
When I took that photo I only had the Pro4 in the middle hooked up to the screen, the Book2 wasn't, and I tend to keep it that way (I can't multi-task that effectively 🤣).
My Home office,
It's late on Wednesday and dark out, but I grabbed a couple of lights.
Code and sound
and this is the App I use for design and graphics
THIS IS AWESOME. I'm so excited. This is the first time I've seen someone have a writing area! I'm always curious whether noone has a special dedicated space for this!!
I know right!
Computer screens block creativity, especially when I'm writing lyrics, so that's why I like to have an "analog space".
Nice little desk in the second pic!
My home office setup

my messy office.
That's not messy . It looks so nice .
Nice, like how the monitor is at a higher level than the tabletop by design. 👌
This is interesting! @skryking are you quite tall, or lean back at your desk?
I tend to lean back a bit, I'm about 5' 9" so not overly tall. I find having the big screen on top forces me to move my neck more which helps prevent neck stiffness and pain.
One of the cleaner setups I've seen.
How are you finding working on a big screen vs say a dual setup?
I’m definitely liking it.
Simpler to manage than multiple monitors and more overall software-driven flexibility. I can continue to make better and better use of my window manager.
I do need a bigger desk so I can back up a bit. It’s currently a little too close to my face.
Yes, that's what I was thinking.
With my 22" dualies, when I want one to sit vertically I have to prop it with some wine boxes :D
Haha, yeah, that screen is the same size as the table it seems!
It looks like you can get a narrower field of view with a setup like that. I find myself leaning over to sides sometimes just to see the outer edges of my screens.
do you mostly work from home?
Yup
My setup is pretty basic, standing desk with a 30in monitor. My husband on the other hand is a little more excessive... 🤦♀️
That is what I call a mission control setup lol
😱
PowerEdge R720 running Proxmox, 2x Xeon E-5360 6-core CPUs @ 2.9GHz, 64 GB RAM, and 4x300GB SAS disks in a RAID10
Just built this guy yesterday. Ryzen7 2799X 8-core 3.7GHz CPU, 32GB DDR4 3200MHz, 2 Samsung 970 Pro 512GB NVMe drives, and Radeon RX570
This is my sit/stand desk in standing position.
Here's by blog entry on building it
You may also find my presence sensor of interest. A little bit of desk automation.
Loving the presence sensor! And the fact your cat sets it off :-)
Unfortunately, these are not all the Legos we have in the house. It's not a long term solution, but works for now =)
Mine is more Messy :-D While Working on my Sports Blog.
thepracticaldev.s3.amazonaws.com/i....
mine hasn't changed too much from this setup, except with a few empty cans of la croix and kleenex 😂:
