Battle of the Offices : Ballmer vs. Didak

Someone just sent me a link explaining that over in Russia there is a competition going whereby my Home Office is being compared with that of Microsoft’s Steve Ballmer. Unfortunately I can’t read a single word of Russian so I’ve got no clue what the battle of the offices is about but I thought it was rather hillarious! See for yourself at; http://www.fishki.net/comment.php?id=17527

There are, of course, other people who fell for the Russian joke and actually do think that this is Mr. Ballmer’s office. Unfortunately (for Steve!), he probably wouldn’t feel very much at home in my office… there are computers here that run Linux, you see. That might be too much to handle and cope with. :-)
Another cool site, chipchick.com, a site about technology and gadgets from a girl’s perspective, also points out the difference in office styles. Well, girls, the main difference is that I prefer screens and Steve prefers Windows. That and I have to use my office to work for a living, he doesn’t have to. :-)

    From my translations it reads “We had to save the best for last in the article…nothing in the world can compare to the ZX81 Super Computer”
    :)

    Hey there– I’m a reader from ChipChick and I must say you set up is pretty intense. Perhaps you may consider a bit of color instead all gray and black. Imagine the exponential level of productivity you will have =)

    That should probably make the quotes file. That’s BRILLIANT. (I say “brilliant” in the most Guinness-esque manner possible.)

    Sorry to ask the mundane, but is there any chance of those wallpapers being made available? :P
    Specifically the lake and woodland ones.

    Sure. They’re by 9X. Get them here. :-)

    Hey Stefan,

    Very nice setup.

    I can read Russian and it basically says that Ballmers office sucks compared to yours,
    but it also says that you are a regular web designer, I’m sure you do more than that.

    Thanks Vitaliy! I was wondering what all those characters meant in Russian. :)
    Though regular web designer… uhm… I don’t even do web design at all (never did), except for my own site, that is. :)

    Very nice setup YEAH

    it would be nice to spend all that money in having f**ing 6 screens to work at while there are people starving to death. people that DIES because they have no FOOD. or screens.

    you americans stinks in any ways possible.

    Luciano, I think you are the first racist here and failed to notice that I am NOT an American. It’s a good thing I use all those screen and hardware to keeps people employed and working and earning money and thereby taking part in their economies. People, like myself, who get the living daylights taxed on our earnings and income. Our tax of which parts are spent to provide aid and food for poor people. Go complain to your politicians and globalists and bankers if food or money doesn’t arrive where it should. Thanks.

    Stefan.

    That is one sick setup! And I mean “sick” in the good sense of the word. Very cool, indeed. I’m actually in the process of implementing something similar in my home office, but I must admit that I doing more because I can and less because I need to. But I’m not going into to debt to get it done. ;)
    Anyway, very cool.
