        You seem to be a very busy person. Lots in your calendar 🙂
        Anyway, Why do you have your own personal Cisco 24 port switch? 😛

          Why not? 😛 It looks like @larsen161 has a lot of extra devices laying around, probably to connect and configure those as time goes.

            A switch as a desk stand. Interesting.

              My real question for @larsen161... What is the chair on the other side of the desk for? No one will be able to see you through the monitors! 😄

                A very noisy desk stand at that!

                  @coliver @nadnerB had about 10 mac mini's to configure one day and we had a spare switch lying around and it ended up becoming a permanent fixture of the desk. I'm wishing it's was PoE now - you can see two camera's but the other 8 are scattered around the office

                    LOL that is another desk.

                    That open air thing seems to be all the rage in younger tech companies.
                    that and everyone wearing headphones so they don't hear the other people around them....

                        I think it's fair to say that office space overlooking Tower Bridge is seriously expensive so you need to cram in as many workers as possible.

                          Oh... I didn't even notice that. I'd hate to be that user with hot exhaust and fan noise of that switch.

                            I can't stand that setup. They did that when I was in San Fran. Unusable. Everyone had to go home to get anything done. Total waste of space.

                              It's the SG 200-26 model - no sound at all, super quiet. My Mac Pro's fan is louder at times. I did have a new 2960X on the desk at one point when configuring it and it got a few comments on it's noise.

                                      @Dashrender @Jason @scottalanmiller it's not a very crowded/busy side to our office. only about half the desks you see ever have someone in them and it's finance, bi teams who all work very quietly. it's the visits from the other side of the office we have to contend with and no cubical would prevent someone walking up to you as a distraction.

                                        Our company gives us a $75 gift card to an online store that sells business attire with our logo. So instead of giving us shirts they allow us to choose from different styles.

                                        So cool! I have one shirt with our company logo on it and I constantly get asked by the other employees on how can they get one.

                                            Just found this one. Taken in 2008, nearly a decade ago. This was my home office setup when I lived at Eleven80 in downtown Newark.

                                            desk at eleven80 in newark in 2008

                                            This was taken in March of that year, so about six months before we bought our house in New York and my first child was born. This is back when Spiceworks was just starting and had not really become a full fledged IT community yet. But the super amazing part is that the desktop device driving those monitors that you can make out behind them.... is the same desktop that I use still!
