Computing space
While working today, I noticed that my computing space has become increasingly more “onion like”, with layers upon layers of systems. Here’s a screen capture of my personal daily workspace.
The primary display is the MacBook’s LCD (1440×900) and the secondary display is an external LCD (1680×1050). I’ve resized them to the same size for clarity.
The main display is the normal desktop, with Firefox, iCal, Adium, a terminal window, etc. Things get a bit more layered on the second display. On the foreground you can see a Windows install running on VMWare Fusion locally, running Mapsource. Behind that on the left, it’s a Remote Desktop connection to my home Windows server, with another Windows install running on it (it’s the WAMP where matsu is served from). And finally, behind all windows, on the right, is a Citrix connection to a Reuters hosted platform. It’s amazing what I’ve seen in the evolution of computing since 1983, from my first computer until today…
