Well if we're talking mess...There is presently so much stuff on my (homemade and wiggly) desk that I have to put my laptop on a chair next to the couch, it wont fit where it belongs anymore!

Oh, I still have room for the laptop, my monitor and two cat baskets on it... I won't count the second monitor, as that is a LCD one and fits behind the baskets...

I now feel the need to clean off my desk so I can post a photo. Right now, if you saw how messy it is, you'd laugh till you dropped. Really, let me know if you want to see exactly how bad a desk can get, and I'll snap one, if just for the joy of complete public humiliation.

Actually, come to think of it ... it will have to be a panorama. The whole desk unit is about 25 to 30 feet long. And, six inches deep in "stuff".

Just came across this National Film Board --> Blackfly video that reminded me of your *single* mosquito.

Blackfly

Christopher Hinton, 1991, 5 min 10 s
This animated film about the pesky blackfly is based on the song of the same title, written and sung by Canadian folk singer Wade Hemsworth, with back-up vocals by the McGarrigle sisters. It recounts Hemsworth's battles with this quintessential "critter" during a summer of surveying in Northern Ontario.

WDE.

I am so P.O. with the iTunes RSS tags, specifically the image one for doing a bit of cover art for a syndicated podcast. I have spent the last 3 hours trying to get this to work for a bit of podcast software we produce and then come across this gem on Apple's site.......

If you change your podcast’s image, also change the file’s name. iTunes may not change the image if it checks your feed and the image URL is the same.

Class piece of development Apple, nothing like a professional bit of coding, why not get it every time they can only ever be tiny!!!!!!

ARRRRRRGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHH

Oh yes, please --- we want to see it as it currently is. Then we can feel a bit less guilty about our own desks! I do have to remove some of the not unpacked boxes (I only moved in 18 months ago!) because my mom is visiting soon. Eek!

You think you have problems?? Right now I'm in THIS room, trying to make sense of it.

There's a cat there.

You're welcome.

desertgrandma · 05-28-2009, 03:51 PM

So I"m still sitting in the chair, wandering aimless thru mobileread, and watching MadTv.

Seriously, I gotta get up and start sorting.......

krisk · 05-28-2009, 03:53 PM

what sense is supposed to be made of it? it is a craft room!

badgoodDeb · 05-28-2009, 03:54 PM

That room looks about right, to me. Except that my version has a shih tzu in it instead of a cat. My ironing board is in the powder room. If you shove it all-the-way in the room, you can still actually close the door. Wheee! Clean up time.

DixieGal · 05-28-2009, 03:55 PM

At least pick up the floor, for cryin' out loud. If the floor is clean, then it looks like the piles of stuff were meant to be like that.

desertgrandma · 05-28-2009, 03:57 PM

Its supposed to look like THIS!! (Ignore different room layout)

desertgrandma · 05-28-2009, 03:57 PM

all right, you whiners!!

Lets see some of YOUR stuff!
