Is there some kind of website where people can upload their office/desk pictures including better descriptions (like those plus-icons) and a little Text?
I don't know why, but to me it's motivating and just interresting to see how other people work. And i don't mean websites presenting huge offices of big companies. I mean homeoffices etc. A few years ago this was really big on Flickr, but since "nobody" is really active on Flickr anymore, i feel like those days are gone.
I bet there is a good number of interesting peoples workplaces to look at. :)
Closely related is https://usesthis.com/ , which focuses more on text description of people's working tools and habits than screenshots. Joey Hess' interview [1] was particularly memorable.
I tried it, but i couldn't get it to work for me. I was coming from an Apple Wireless Keyboard and the size of the 4000 was just to big for my taste. I got pretty used to having my mouse pretty near my keyboard and not have to spread my arms very far.
I had a mechanical keyboard for a while after the AWK, but my hands did hurt after long programming sessions. So i gave the Sculpt a go.
It took me a while to get used to it, since it's also wider than the AWK, but not as wide as the 4000. Since i had to fix my hand-hurting issues, i powered through it and now i'm pretty happy.
So to answer your question: Since i was using an Apple Keyboard for years, the click-clacky laptop-style keys were not in issue for me. :)
Excellent thank you for the response, the 4000 seems to be getting replaced by the Sculpts so it's good to know they are still good, I have a 4000 at home, work and a spare in it's box for if either breaks (they are that important to me now) but I might give the Sculpt a go, I rarely use the numpad and the 4000's are indeed huge.
This kind of gets at what you're asking. It's more for people who might be better known in their sphere of interest. http://lifehacker.com/tag/how-i-work
Yes. I recall someone describing their setup with a specific Ikea desk, and how he mounted all their switches, wires, splitters under the desk which made all cable mess on the desk disappear. This motivated me to completely replicate that setup, down to buying that exact same Ikea desk. Still too hardware related for your taste I guess, but I think there would be overlap in the communities.
Would make sense if this would be consolidated in a reddit community, seems like the right place for a hobby like this.
That's pretty cool, but it seems more like an interview format (like usesthis.com). I'm looking more for a project where people "tell their own story" and show how they work.
