If you don't use it, why not just take it off completely?

So I don't lose it of course.

Everything you take off turns into trash instantly and it will be in your way all the time until you forget what it was then throw it away the day before you get a new chair and decide to give away the old chair, now without armrests...

So the desk is clean, but why do you have a cup standing on the floor? do you eat of the floor to avoid breadcrumbs in the KB?

Have you replaced the trackball in your CST with a snooker ball?

It's a pool ball. Snooker balls are single colored. That's actually a rather common mod. Ripster was one of the people popularising it. Well, that and he bought clear acrylic balls to mount in there, and called it his "glowing balls".

Classic ripster.

Nice, yeah, doing a bit of googling for 'pool ball' brings up lots of examples.
Thats a pretty nice simple mod. Plus it looks like the CST is a fairly nice trackball.

Yes, that is a pool ball in there.

A little case made out of Lego that holds two MX Greens as buttons 4 and 5 for the trackball

Hm...I think I remember seeing that somewhere, was it your idea?

I didn't copy it from somewhere at least but I think I saw that somewhere else, too. So I just took a litte inspiration maybe

I was thinking how I could mount the MX Greens the best/easiest way to the trackball and wanted to build some case from wood. But I am to stupid to do such little woodwork so I just cut out a piece of PCB from a donor board and built this Lego case around it.

Hehe, nope. I was in the middle of cleaning. when i clean, i place things i'll have in another room/place on the floor, clean and then i transport them down to where they were planned to be.

3 its a magic number

the people on irc made me make a picture

Same as Merijn. They more or less forced me to take a new picture (sorry for the bad quality D:)

When they say 'they' they mean me.

I made them take the pictures.

For more fun and games you should come join is in the IRC chatroom, links in the top right corner!

Here is my height adjustable desk at work (usually it isn't as clean as that):

OMG you have the same catastrophic IP phone. The menu and the structure and also the display with the buttons are the worst thing I ever used on any electronic device. Working with it, is so painfull, I want to kill the developer everyday.

Fucking Avya... nice quality handsets but your right the software's a joke.

Tenovis (the company that Avaya acquired many years ago) made good phones. The Avaya ones are terrible.

The menu structure makes no sense at all
