Monday to Friday, 9ish-5ish I'm sitting for most of the time. When I come home and work on other projects I'm still sat down. I'm bored of sitting. I can never find the right position, I lean towards the screen when I concentrate, my hand gets cold as my wrist rests on the desk, and I occasionally panic when I lean my chair too far back and forget that it's perfectly safe.

As I was closing down late last night I was standing up just finishing a few last bits and bobs and I realised that keyboards can be used without an accompanying chair. So today I vowed to try standing up to develop and have constructed a luxury environment in which to try this.

I knew keeping these boxes around would come in handy at some point. The Xbox box positions the keyboard at just the right height for my forearms to be horizontal and comfortable (so far). I had to raise my speakers up too else the sound was too distant - they're only cheap speakers.

What you can't see under the shoebox that the monitor stands on, is a half full crate of Desperados beer. This is my least favourite part so far as the beer is now inaccessible, but removing them reduces the structural integrity of the crate too much for my comfort. The whiskey under the speaker is still accessible so life goes on.

I'm going to try using my computer like this for a while and see how I get on.
