[sdiy] Pictures, mug shots, rougue's galary

[Scott Gravenhorst]

Awesome.  Although I now know I am not the only one
who "works" like this, it doesn't encourage me to
clean it up.  My problems start mainly when I get
the "I wonder what happens if I..." urge.  Directed
and planned projects tend to be less helter skelter
(for me), but impromptu is deadly.  Funny, my computer
area looks exactly like yours, with a 10 inch long by
4 inch wide clear space mainly for a drink just to
the left of the keyboard.  The rest of the desk is
completely "stacked".  Hmm.  Maybe I have ADD too.
