    My home office in daylight. Back then (~2 years ago), I had a docked Lenovo X220 running Ubuntu 12.04 and a Samsung Chromebox running ChromeOS.

    Here’s the new battlestation setup. Now, I have a Mac Mini running OS X and a Lenovo X1 Carbon (4th Gen) running Ubuntu GNOME 17.04.

    Main desk is a Geekdesk (motorized sit/stand) with a custom glass top. All the rest of the details in the photograph captions.

    As for my screenshot, I’m running GNOME 3 & gnome-shell (new for me, recently upgraded since Unity is now going away) with some extensions, and then I usually hang out in a terminal running zsh + vim, following this config.

      I like the floating bookshelves. Finally, something easy I can do to organize the piles of books I have laying around.

        Here was the model I used to mount the books. I used 5 of them and used Edward Tufte books (large/thin/heavy print format) as the “shelves”. http://amzn.to/2rKaPZM

      It isn’t much but: https://goo.gl/photos/5dA4d1ZSRTnquV1B7 Thinkpad T420s running Ubuntu 16.04 and desktop with Lubuntu 16.04. There’s a windows computer in there for games with a kvm switch to go back and forth. All in all, the setup gets the job done.

        I’ve been using Pythonista on my iPad to run Python scripts and am pretty happy with it. It even has some custom libraries for gui stuff. I’m not affiliated with them but I’ve found the software surprisingly powerful considering how restrictive Apple is with this kind of thing. Only problem, I never was able to figure out an easy way to download other peoples’ scripts and use them other than with a hackneyed copy and paste routine. This looks like it might open the door to that possibility though. Pretty cool.
