What does your desk look like?

Got the desk moved with the pending end of school. It's .... functional.

The old dell monitor base is acting as an antenna (magnet) for the SDR radio that's on the right lower screen...

Are you an amateur radio operator or just enjoy playing with SDR?

Yes - Just getting into the SDR - I have had a project in mind for a few years,.. replace the AM/FM 6CD in the truck with an SDR rPi(3). The FM reception sucks. ..

I haven't moved the other Radios yet... tomorrow. Have to re-run power and the coax.

I'm a cheater. I just steal dashboards. I don't think I could fully write one in any reasonable amount of time.

Clarification: dashboards for Prometheus.

Here's my temporary desk in the shop when I have an electrical panel to build or a machine to program/commission (Controls Engineer is my main role, IT is only 20%ish of my time). I'll have to post my regular desk once I move back in the office.

I found this secret picture of the @Minion-Queen at work.

omg that screen size... my neck would get sore.

Other thoughts... would be fun to move the mouse pointer around to play with a cat.

OUCH!

I've know people who have wanted a workstation monitor like that - uh.. just NO.

In upper management, if IT denies the purchase request, they'll just go out, purchase their own, and expense it out. But, its also not ITs responsibility to maintain either.

It's a display, not really an IT thing anyway.

You are right. However, to a nom-IT person, they're still considered IT.

Important that IT people not repeat that.

Which part do you not want me to repeat?

That IT people support "electronics". The part that lay people get wrong. When IT repeats that, it reinforces it or even justifies it. How can we expect non-tech people to understand who is bench, who is an electrician, who is a developer or who is IT if we blend them all together ourselves? It's a habit to break that we all do. But doing it can help lead to problems where the IT person is told to fix the sprinkler because "it's technical." <-- real issue

I may be in possession of the log in details to my company's sprinkler system. Luckily there are other people around whose job it is to deal with the actual fixing. I just had to help out with regaining access to the control dashboard when the employee who did the initial setup left the company.
