WHEREWEDOWHATWEDO is where graphic designers, artists, web developers, office managers, freelance designers, and others share photos of their desks, workspaces, and corporate offices. It's a web 2.0 look at other people's beautiful and modern office furniture and awesome desk lamps, hot gadgets like the iphone, macbook, and optical mice, plus wall graphics (like from blik), and more.

Browse hundreds of submissions and add your own. Whether, you are a graphic designer, a web developer, entrepreneur, or some other kind of business person, you will find great office design ideas, as well as things you will be sure to avoid when redesigning and organizing your office.

You might even see people that have reading materials like HOW Magazine, Communication Arts, and books from Phaidon Press. Or even better they may have made their own at blurb.com. You might even find a job from krop.com or authenticjobs.com too. Who knows?

Inappropriate? August 03, 2008

(Office FAQ on the web site link above.)

I write distributed system software and typically have 3 or 4 debuggers going concurrently.

From left to right: 2x24" (iMac w/ external 24"), and then there are 6 monitors on a single Mac Pro w/ 8x2.8 cores, 12 GB of RAM.

There's some other machines in my office, but just a few 17" LCDs for them. I try to use serial consoles as much as possible.

Altogether there's about 24 CPU cores, 54 GB of RAM, and 10 TB of disk space.

Awesome! Is it really mandatory? Couldn't you settle for less?

Just like it's not 'mandatory' to have a printer (could just go to Kinko's every time a print out is needed), no, 11 monitors are not mandatory. For a long time, I just used 4. However, huge screen real estate makes tracking down propagating crashes of my software much easier. A few debuggers, some tcpdumps, scrolling log files, source code, documentation are all competing for attention, not to mention any UI for the product at hand.

Then there's the fact I am usually working on multiple projects at the same time. Virtual desktops might help take care of that, but I generally find them distracting and not a good solution for what I do.

Rather than answer the cost question directly, I'll direct you to a previous response to this question:
