Haha!! missed the nail polish remover... but, hey, I guess nail polish remover has many useful applications aside from... erm... removing nail polish... lol....

got to admit, I hate mess... it starts to do my head in after a while - this is as messy as I get!
tidy

By the way Dave - I take it you are a Viz fan! For the uninitiated...
Roger Mellie IS the man on the Telly:
... Roger's Profanisaurus is here!

I still have the original booklet of this that went out with the xmas 97 ed somewhere... I remember Viz when it first came out in '79, a few photocopied pages sold in boozers in my home town of Newcastle..

Off topic I know - but funny as hell

I agree on the nail polish remover, it has many uses.

I notice you are the first to post a pic of your desk, which includes a bookshelf full of tech manuals. I have one too |rasta|

doublep, Jeremy-RR, pointed me to viz.co.uk a while back.. and I go and get my fix every now and again.. No one imports Viz out here anymore execpt a few obscure places.. It is still one of the funniest mags on the planet, My "Pathetic Sharks" Special is my fav.

...and that office is WAAY to tidy mate...

The "nail polish remover"............ is not for when I am in the mood to wear Cleo's shoes... but for cleaning my whiteboards.. I am a "list" junkie.

640x480
1600x1200


Not even my mom whos 53 years old uses 800x600 any more. Dont even know anyone who uses 800x600. Whats up with that ?

I run at 1152x864 myself, i really would like to see 1024 become more popular, i'm tired of building for 800x600 but i do notice a lot of people still use 800x600, like friends and family so i do my part and change their monitor settings when they're not looking.

Using a high resolution on my monitor strains my eyes. I'd seriously be using 640x480 if I wasnt designing graphics and web pages everyday. Since I do, I keep my monitor at 800x600.

A friend of mine has a beautiful 19" sony flat screen, and he insists it be kept at 640x480. Some people are just wacked I guess.

I also do design and have my monitor set to 800x600... the most popular and my eyes are not so tired working for 14-16 hr. I am checking my work in higher rez also but it makes no sense to lose sales on it, get galleries rejected etc. Just my two cents.
I have an flat rate LCD monitor now and it is less accurate than the classic was, it took me a long time to get used to it.
