Yay, just got home from work and saw the ADSL light on the modem was ON, so everything worked fine this time from ordering until receiving(not like the nightmarish three months of uncertainty, which I experienced the last time when I ordered ADSL).
As I promised in this thread, here are some pics of my new place:
It's one room + small kitchen + small bathroom. The pictures were taken the weekend after the move.

Looks nice Dennis!

I can post a picture from the outside but I will NOT post a picture from the inside

Looks small. Especially the kitchen area and the bathroom area.

i will post once i get to my own place. This hell hole is just a temporary solution for a temporary vocation.

He's a poor student. He's lucky he's got his own bathroom and kitchen at all!

Hehe, nice. That work table looks messed up, but anyway you have some job to do to get it looking like mine

Sorry for bad quality, only digi photo I own is the one on the cellphone.

Edit:

I think he's lucky that he has even somewhere to hide from rain

That toilet is unfeasibly clean

Wait till you see mine house, in true political uncorrectness, you'd think a bomb had just dropped.

Here's the street I used to live on. I've sinced moved about 4 blocks west of here.

And here's the city I live in at dusk:

[edit]how did this get here?[/edit]

Let's see da bomb!

Ahh whattahell... this is the desk, the only place that doesn't look unlivable in this place.

Sorry about the image quality - camera phone photography sucks.

Like your music do you?

Wow! What's that I see on the monitor? The default XP skin?

On whose monitor?

Edit: ah yeah on his. I observed that too.

That's neither of the two US cities I can identify by skyline, so which is it?

As for moi:

{"name":"589912","src":"\/\/djungxnpq2nug.cloudfront.net\/image\/cache\/c\/3\/c35ccaa280921e6c306dcdad4190856f.jpg","w":987,"h":499,"tn":"\/\/djungxnpq2nug.cloudfront.net\/image\/cache\/c\/3\/c35ccaa280921e6c306dcdad4190856f"}

[edit]

Geeks!

Yeah, Geeks!

Apprentice, not student but ja, same thing. It's big enough for me. I don't have a washing machine but the laundry is just two houses down the road and the nearest Aldi(cheap supermarket chain) is at the other end of the road, so it's basically "paradise" for a first place away from the safety of the parents home.:D
(And to the job it is a nice 15 min. cycle tour, relaxed cycling, not rushing.)

Lennys post reminds me that I have to update my position on the map, but I think I'll just leave it where it is.(just because I'm paranoid:P)

Uhh? Does having the XP default skin make me any less of a man? So THAT'S why I don't get laid...

That's a Edirol PCR-M50 USB MIDI Keyboard in the foreground, FL Studio on the screen, AKG K-240 Studio headphones on the desk and a old-and-busted Panasonic SC-AK75 stereo set as my ghetto near field monitors.

edit: I like my music. Do you?

Looks really nice. And this:

That really sounds like paradise: job, cycling, near supermarket, nice home - what do you want more?

My workplace (I've also posted this on the SpeedHack blog):

{"name":"9970-1","src":"\/\/djungxnpq2nug.cloudfront.net\/image\/cache\/8\/9\/89b6a9d2c9df409c2e38b15f27605e12.jpg","w":1280,"h":960,"tn":"\/\/djungxnpq2nug.cloudfront.net\/image\/cache\/8\/9\/89b6a9d2c9df409c2e38b15f27605e12"}

It may not look that messy on the picture, but in reality it's unbearable. But meh, I'm lazy and don't want to clean up today.

[EDIT]
I'm always getting hungry from looking at that picture and seeing the peaches - they were so tasty!

Uh-oh, another of these threads! I will have to fire up the I Spy web site again

Arguably the only place in my home that I can claim as my own...my computer area. Just imagine a black logitech keyboard and that's it.

{"name":"690558963_l.jpg","src":"\/\/djungxnpq2nug.cloudfront.net\/image\/cache\/4\/e\/4e197a84409957578e2da01761975fa6.jpg","w":600,"h":450,"tn":"\/\/djungxnpq2nug.cloudfront.net\/image\/cache\/4\/e\/4e197a84409957578e2da01761975fa6"}

Then you probably are the cat sitting on the chair?

My desk is super messy. Perhaps ill take a pic soon.

Hah! Not a chance you'll get pictures of my apartment the way it looks right now. It hasn't changed that much since last time though...

(BTW, I misread the title of this thread as "Post pictures of your palace"...)

Dennis: we have Aldi's in the US too. I was surprised to learn it's a German chain.

It's just another small midwestern city: kansas city.

Hey, we have an Aldi right up in qbury.

I'm at my parent's farm right now, here's a picture of our yard:

We've been having some extreme electrical storms lately, so I thought I'd take some footage of the incredible lightning... when I first reviewed the movie, I was dissapointed because the camera didn't seem to pick anything up. But then I looked closer and found these frames (animated gif):

Your keyboard is bent. Hmm...

Do no one tell you not to take photographs into strong light?

You smoke?

Sure, I just didn't bother to find a better angle. Those are cellphone pictures anyway, so don't expect too much quality-wise.

L&M blue label - mellow, distinctively smooth.

Miran: holy crap, I've got same TV remote controller as you Btw I think you've got the cleanest workplace here.

I need the new room, which is far, far away, since father is too lazy to work on it (I'd help him, but he's the work leader and when he's "no time" I cannot work on it ).

Edit: I just remebered that thing with bomb and Nonnus's city. As he revealed that it's the Kansas city, I remembered The Day After (1983), just too lazy to post a picture.

Look at my new dog! We got him from my wife's family. His name is Hercules.

Really? All I see is a square with the word "image" in the middle.

EDIT: Oooh, now I see a dangerous beast.

Most. Unfitting name. Ever.

Maybe they are fans of Agatha Christie and Hercules Poirot.

Sure is cleaner than mine:

(Terrible quality I know, but the only camera I have is a crappy webcam that my ISP shipped with the router)

I would hope that Agatha Christie fans would know how that it's Hercule and not Hercules.

Hercule Poirot has no S's.

Relay the computer hick says:
...haw do ya do tem re-sizeable imeeges?

You make them too big to be displayed at full size.

In the Control Center, under Theme & Behaviour\Remote Media, there are settings for when to reduce images to thumbnails.

so it's not on the posters' side...
that's peace of mind...

This girl has got definit issues about keeping her feet out of photos....

Looks like a nice place, Dennis

I always take a picture of my room before and after I clean it. The change is usually frightening. Maybe I'll post some of those later tonight.

This girl has much nicer and daintier feet than that. Those are my husband's feet.

Yes, yes, it's a pic of the back wall of my office at home with Godzilla lounging in the sunlight. The books are all extremely old, but certain things like my copy of Dos Programmers Reference, copy of IBM DOS v1.5, and other esoteric pieces of documentation are part of my geek cred, so they remain on the bookshelf.

That's one spoiled cat!

He's a rather larger specimen, no? He gets plenty of exercise and a modest supply of food, but he already weighs right at 20 pounds (~9 kilograms) at the tender age of three. He's quite adorable during the winter with his heavier coat and fluffy white mane.

He reminds me of a sheepskin rug I used to have!

Ahh, so that's the secret behind Fenix Blade, Frenetic, etc....

Where can I find this book?

Heh, there's a bunch of old stuff on my shelf, mostly useless by today's standards, and certainly nothing I've actually touched in the last six years:

Flights of Fantasy - A good book for beginning programmers detailing things like palettes, bitmaps, and all manner of 2D and 3d primitives. Includes the source for a flight sim detailed in the book.

Bitmapped Graphics Programming in C++ - An extremely useful book for understanding bitmap file formats and how to read and write them. Contains full source to read and write goodies like gif, lbm, tga, tiff, bmp, pcx, etc.

Teach Yourself... Assembler - A shitty book, but a shitty book on ASM, so it's on the shelf.

Zen of Graphics Programming - Another extremely useful book that picks up where Flights of Fantasy drops off. Loads of good stuff on texture mapping and 3D stuff, along with when and where to optimize your graphics code.

Teach Yourself Game Programming in 21 Days - Moderately interesting tome detailing general concepts like tile maps, boundary detection, and sprites. Won't make you an expert, but it may fill in some gaps in your knowledge.

Secrets of the Game Programming Gurus - See above. Written by the same team, more or less.

Inside 3D Studio 3 - Okay, now I'm showing my age Once upon a time I was big into rendering and stuff, so there.

Assembly Programming for Microcomputers - Covers x86 and Motorola stuff. Much better than the other ASM book, and is actually readable

DOS Programmers Reference - The holy grail of DOS programming. Over 1000 pages detailing every known aspect of DOS from file I/O to EMS/XMS and printer access. Has snippets of ASM and C for just about everything. I swore by this book for many years.

Various C/C++ reference books - Before the net, this is what we used

Sadly, I've sold, donated, or tossed the vast majority of my programming books, including some dicey pieces on modem protocol programming, IBM XGA adapter references, TSR programming, EMS/XMS memory management (which is actually far easier to program than anyone could ever realize), driver and operating system design, OCR and scanner interfaces, and a bunch of other stuff I've forgotten about.

All this stuff came in handy in the pre-FB era when I was working on BBS software along with cracks, trainers, and intros/cracktros and other oddities. Once I got my hands on Allegro, I was ready to rumble

CGamesPlay: That "I Spy" site doesn't work here, says "redirection limit exceeded".(using Mozilla)

nonnus: Nice, I didn't know Aldi's are in the US already.

On a sidenote: Work doesn't seem to leave me enough time to hang on a.cc as much as I'd like to, but it's nice seeing everyones pictures, keep them coming.:)

Interesting. Works here. http://ispy.cgamesplay.com/index.php

I have a similar book, maybe its teach yourself game programming in 9 days, I'm not sure. It's not really anything useful, it touches the basics of Win32/DirectX/GDI to make simple 2d games (like a matching game), load graphics, and such. Some of the theories were useful but all in all the book basically wasn't worth the $20-$30 I paid for it.
