Lenovo T410. Even though it’s my business laptop, I use it all the time for almost everything.
Electron transmitting device. I have bunch of those under (and above) my desk tangled together into an untangleable mess.
Cisco fx-65. I have won it in a Math competition while in elementary school (by getting 2nd place in country or something like that) and I have been using it ever since, even though nowadays I tend to either use bc or Emacs’ calc.
USB charger. It’s just a simple electron transmitting device, but also a proof that paying several hundreds of dollars is worth the money, since you get to get such useful toys.
Hair entropy reducer. I don’t even use it that often… I don’t even know why it’s on my desk…
Dell 2407WFPb. My ‘business’ monitor. Yes, you’ve read it right: Google gave me a 24″ screen to use at home. Obviously, I have two more in the office.
Death ray. This death ray has limited power output though. Still, it’s enough to burn plastic.
Arctic Cold Freezer XTREME Rev.2. Despite its name, it’s never arctic cold though… It’s attached to AMD Phenom II X3 710 and ASRock A785GM-LE/128M. The latter is not really my choice, but my previous motherboard decided to no longer work, and this one was the only one they had in store that supported my processor.
Firesword. Google branded at that. Best part is that I had to sign a paper saying I won’t hold Google responsible for damages caused by the use of it. Yeah, it produces quite a bit of photons.
Electromagnetic wave generator. Useful when I need to dive under my desk. Has a chameleon drawn on the cover with mysterious texts ‘Suse’, which is some Maya Linux distribution. But seriously, they actually are active, and the oldest commercial Linux distribution still in development.
Gateway FPD2185W. The first screen larger than 20″ I’ve had. I bought it years ago below the usual price because factory fault it has. What fault you ask me? I’ve never noticed any. ;)
ASUS GTX560. Enough to play Zork and Tetris.
2 × Western Digital WD2002FAEX. Their name indicates that they should be black, but they aren’t really… More like metallic, like all other HDDs I’ve seen. Total capacity of 4 GB, but since they run (mostly) in RAID-1, its back to 2 GB.
Molecule movement generator. Pretty useful in winter.
HP stress ball. I’m not sure when HP switched to producing non-electronic aaccessories, but there you have it!
Kinesis Advantage Pro. The. Best. Keyboard. Ever.
In the past, I used to say, that there is no point in buying expensive keyboards because the cheapest thing you can get is as good as the expensive one. This one proved me wrong.
Back than, I was using some simple Chicony keyboard and frankly, I still think that it was as good as many more expensive keyboard, but the so called mechanical switches on Kinesis and its unique shape make it the best HID I’ve ever used.
Moltron ergonomic keyboard is actually the only thing I think could be considered better, but Kinesiss is slightly cheaper and so I’ve decided to get the latter rather than the former.
In fact, not only one. I own two of those and have one more at work.
Belkin Flip DVI-D KVM switch. I don’t really recommend it. My issue is that whenever I want to switch between computers, USB keyboard and mouse are disconnected from one and connected to the other machine. I’d much rather the KVM maintained a ‘virtual’ keyboard and mouse so that both computers would think that something is connected to them all the time.
Logitech Z-5500. I wouldn’t normally buy them, but it so happened that a coworker was selling them and I managed to get them way under the normal price. I have two problems though:
- I don’t know how to use 5.1 under Linux, so I just use them in ‘Stereo × 2’ which means rear speakers have the same signal as the front ones; and
- on Windows, the centre channel is way too silent in games, so I’ve ended up disabling it, reducing the whole system to 4.1 (still the effect in games is quite nice).
Logitech MX518. My first ever optical mouse which I enjoy very much. It has been with me for a few years and there’s not much I don’t like about it. The shape seems almost perfect. I highly recommend it (even though now it has been replaced with a G400 model).
Tea storage device with a function of oral delivery. I’ve heard it can be used with other liquids as well, but I’ve never tried.
Samsung Galaxy Nexus. You may be mislead by the fact that there appears to be nothing in the picture, but that’s just an illusion.
A Christmas gift from Google. If it weren’t for that company, I’d probably never start using mobile phones, but since they gave me one and they are paying for my plan, how could I resist?
Analogue storage devices. A bunch of those laying around. Digital is nice, but analogue has its uses as well.
Kingston DataTraveler 400. I don’t even remember since how long I have it. The label begins to wear off of it. Even in the age of ‘da cloud’, I still find it useful.
Liquid transfer device. Powers the molecule movement generator.
Sitecom router of some kind. Got it from my ISP. Interestingly, it appears to have a random SSID and WPA2 password. Still, just to be sure, I’ve changed them anyway.
Samsung F2380M. I’ve actually written about this screen. No need to repeat. Go ahead, look it up on my blog.
Multitool. Seriously. It has 4 different screwdrivers, a electromagnetic wave generator and a spirit level. Maybe not as cool as a sonic screwdriver, but still nice.
2 × Intel® SSD, 320 Series, 40 GB. Not that big, but that’s because they are meant to hold just the system and some of my most important data. They run in a RAID-1 configuration and are Linux-only, not tainted by other systems.
High-voltage electron splitter. I’ve actually borrowed it from work, I hope they don’t mind.
UBS card reader. As of time of writing, running out of battery, which means that soon I’ll end up with no access to my bank account.
Electron energy converters. I have a whole bunch of those under my desk. In fact, my High-voltage electron splitter has run out of sockets, so I had to get two.
Strellson Money Storage Device. The first, and so far the only, thing I’ve found use of Miles & more points for.
Windows®. Yes, I do use them. Most of the time along with electromagnetic wave blockers.
Windows® is a registered trade mark of Microsoft® Corporation.
