Here's what I sit staring at for most of the daytime, windows box, windows box, linux box. All running synergy to share a single mouse + keyboard. That second keyboard in the corner is because, well, I suck at cleaning. Clean desktop policy, you say? Ah ha ha ha, but seriously, go away.

I should have mentioned the above were on my work computer/desktop.

My home notebook looks fairly similar:



On some other "faces" of the cube, however, I have pictures of my daughters, but I'll not bother sharing those.

A bit late replying, sorry, and I've no idea who the girl is. I can't even remember where I picked up the wallpaper from. Ubuntu is so much more comfortable for me than any other OS. Just feels right.
