Virtuelle Desktops sind ein Segen. Wenn man, wie ich, in den allermeisten Fällen viele Programme auf seinem Desktop geöffnet hat, dann wird es auf der Taskleiste nicht selten eng und unübersichtlich. Wenn man zudem ab und an mit Linux arbeitet, dann ist man es schon seit Jahren gewöhnt, daß es dort sogenannte »virtuelle Desktops« gibt. [...]

There's something about the big-box, flat-pack furniture phenomenon known as IKEA that attracts the DIY type, and it's not the 99-cent breakfasts. Cheap furniture broken into easy-to-swap parts lets you roll your own solutions to nearly anything lacking around your home, from bicycle space to a cheap desk to cord mess and way, way beyond. With a nod to the IKEA Hacker blog, from which we've drawn many great links, we've assembled ten of our ...

The blogger at forty-two roads shows off a stylish-looking chair she created using cheap fabric from IKEA's As-Is bin and about two hours of work. She simply took off and re-attached the fabric using web how-to guides (like this this cheeky Instructables set or the close-up shots at Design*Sponge) and the result had a big impact on making her home office feel a bit more alive. Inspiring stuff, and worth looking into if your chair ...

DIY website Instructables demonstrates how to make an impressive and—dare I say—elegant vertical laptop stand with nothing but a coat hanger and a little ingenuity. You'd definitely want to find a thick, sturdy coat hanger before proceeding, and a few test runs may be necessary before you get it perfect. That said, the author's setup looks great, the stand seems easy to make, and the laptop stand concept is always useful if you want to ...

Much prettier than the real thing There's a beautiful article out on a letter from Andre Lahde (h/t Americablog), whose hedge fund made an 870% return last year. He's retiring, because the banks are too dangerous to do business with and because he's disillusioned. The most scathing parts of the letter are these: `I was in this game for money,'' Lahde, 37, wrote in a two-page letter today in which he said he had come ...

A user on website Tilted Forum Project made a few DIY adjustments to a wall-mounted entertainment center kit to build a cordless desk and charging station. The result: a lot of charging capacity, a nice, clean desk, and only one visible cord in the entire setup. You may not have access to the same materials just laying a round the house, but as full-time appreciators of the cordless workspace, we think this setup offers some ...
