Post a shot of your dev environment

All off topic discussions go here. Everything from the funny thing your cat did to your favorite tv shows. Non-programming computer questions are ok too.

Haha - I remember Game Maker. I think I had version 5, maybe 6-7 years ago. All I remember is that I made a couple of terrible platformers, and distributed them to my friends on 3.5" floppies.

Anyway, here's my usual screen setup: (fluxbox, gedit, xterm, conky, all under gentoo linux on an Eee 900)

Firefox and speedcrunch are on usually other virtual desktops.

My desk(s) are usually covered with papers, broken circuit boards, and LiveCDs, so I usually do work elsewhere. :lol:

Won't bother posting my desktop, since it's just Gentoo with WindowMaker and a load of xterms. Here's some of my boxes:
Image
^ My main box, soon to be relegated to secondary usage when I get my new laptop ^

Image
^ My iMac, grabbed it for £2.17. It's running Mac OS 9.2 and will probably be unused until I start working with PowerPC architecture ^

Image
^ Custom built PC, running Vista dual-booting OpenSuSE. Future testbed for when I start work on SMP ^

I have another PC (not picture), and I'm getting at least two in the next few months.

i only wantet to upgrade it, because i love speed, and windows does require a fast hardware to be fast ( at least xp, after i have installed all i need ... )
and of because it is not so cool when playing with friends, and their laptop IS FASTER than my normal computer :D
ps: i have just overclocked the cpu to 3.47 GHZ insted ..

I don't have a picture at the moment, but I've done the majority of my developing on an eeepc 901. The compiling times are actually reasonably fast because of the SSD (my desktop has a really slow hard drive...). It will be usually running during development:

Arch Linux
Openbox
Geany
Gnome-Terminal
Irssi (always!)
Firefox

All windows maximized, colemak keyboard layout, trance music playing in the background :wink:

My main box is now everything (found my GM7 key, lol) and the old one (my parents') is a backup server.

I'm one of the people using a laptop (Sony VAIO - one of these but with an older Intel Centrino, 3GB RAM and much older graphics. :)

As you can see here, gedit (with gedit-plugins and custom XML file for FreeBASIC syntax highlighting), RapidSVN for uploading to SVN repo, QEMU for emulator testing and the standard bash terminal to run shell scripts and the FreeBASIC compiler.

Hopefully with this I'll produce a kernel worth looking at! :D
