aardvark baguette Posted January 24, 2009 Report Posted January 24, 2009 meh...3 feet-ish? Im gonna crank the backlight wayyyyy down
Duggeh Posted January 24, 2009 Report Posted January 24, 2009 Ah righto. For a desk as small and shallow as mine, larger than my 24" would I think be detrimental. Its sometimes irritating when I want the space for books or paper.
swt61 Posted January 24, 2009 Report Posted January 24, 2009 Did you hit anyone? No, but I was 20 floors up, and there was bound to be some off target precipitation due to wind.
aardvark baguette Posted January 24, 2009 Report Posted January 24, 2009 ive got 2 ikea jerkers, which are fairly deep, and if need be I can put it across the 2, in the back corner.
Sherwood Posted January 24, 2009 Report Posted January 24, 2009 I paid $4400 in car repairs. Then I burnt down my wife for the insurance.
oogabooga Posted January 24, 2009 Report Posted January 24, 2009 I once tried a 26" TV on my Jerker desk - the brightness was brutal. 24" LCD worked just fine though... although I don't know what I'd do with a 37"! Put up a pic when you're done.
Hopstretch Posted January 24, 2009 Report Posted January 24, 2009 We've already done the "Jerker" joke, right?
Duggeh Posted January 24, 2009 Report Posted January 24, 2009 Everytime that desk gets mentioned I am forced to remember Jagwire, proud captain of Team: Jerker.

Do you know that I made that little shit a free headphone stand out of some nice Cherry wood I had in the shop? The little bitch complained about the wood, and asked if I had something else I could make one out of. Needless to say I did not respond to that PM.

Duggeh Posted January 24, 2009 Report Posted January 24, 2009 You jest sir? Thats the kind of young rich and spoiled and ignorant-rude he was though, the whole pita lone child thing. Do you have photos of what you sent him? Just be glad you never shared any MSN conversations with the fool.
swt61 Posted January 24, 2009 Report Posted January 24, 2009 (edited) I do have pics of every stand I've made, including that one. They are on my crashed desktop that I need to have repaired. Maybe I can dig one up on HF though. Nope, none to be found. It wasn't anything super extravagant, but it was nice, and did I mention free? Edited January 24, 2009 by swt61
guzziguy Posted January 24, 2009 Report Posted January 24, 2009 I'm surprised that you didn't make him an MDF or plywood stand after that comment. What did he want, an ebony stand?
swt61 Posted January 24, 2009 Report Posted January 24, 2009 I'm surprised that you didn't make him an MDF or plywood stand after that comment. What did he want, an ebony stand? If memory serves I think he asked about Cocobolo. I used to have a habit of making stands and just sending them out unannounced. Kind of a thank you for some, and just a here ya go, usually for students or someone who I thought made good contributions to the forum. They were almost always made from extra materials I had in the shop. In his case he PMed me asking about a stand, but complaining he didn't have much money. I didn't know him at all at the time, and usually if someone asks or hints around for a freebie they'll never see one. But I saw he was a kid, and I guess I assumed he had no money. So I had some Cherry laying around and made a stand and even payed the shipping. You can guess how I felt about him after his PM. Never once did he say thanks for the stand either. I thought about asking him to ship it back on the pretense of making him a new one, and then just letting him hang. He just wasn't worth the effort though.
Smeggy Posted January 24, 2009 Report Posted January 24, 2009 Jagwire is a fucking Jagbag bitch, ungrateful little bitch.

The shovel is ready.

Put up a pic when you're done. Before: After: I will of course be taking the shelves out, just haven't bothered yet. I'm leaving soon to get an HDMI cord and a DVI > HDMI adapter. Hopefully the local place has it, I'm already feeling the pain of not having access to my music for one night more :
oogabooga Posted January 24, 2009 Report Posted January 24, 2009 Hot damn! That's huge! BTW, is that a drobo on the left?
swt61 Posted January 24, 2009 Report Posted January 24, 2009 You do know that your first obligation is to try out internet porn on that monster, and let us know the results forthwith?
