You guys should check out IkeaHacks .. basically combine Ikea furniture and
you end up with some gnarly looking things like standup desks etc :)

Yeah I did look at some of those, there was a really cool adjustable one, but 
Perth Ikea never had the bits in stock,

Re: Hacked together standing desk

[David Richards]

I had been considering a standing desk on the condition that I also have a
sitting desk.  I'm not convinced standing for 8-9 hours a day would be a
good idea.  The option I was considering (but haven't tried to implement
yet) was to setup a standard sitting desk but then add an additional
monitor, keyboard and mouse as a standing desk next to the sitting desk.
You then have a KVM so you can switch between your standing and sitting
monitors.  This means switching between sitting and standing is as simple
as pressing a button and standing up (or sitting down).  It doesn't require
a fancy or modified desk and if you happen to have a spare
monitor/mouse/keyboard you only need a standard cheap standing desk and
kvm.  This setup would even work with multiple monitors, especially since
you don't need to switch all the monitors.

Re: Hacked together standing desk

[osjasonroberts]

I guess there’s load of hacks to make standing possible, from what I’ve read 
standing 8/9 hours is prob not what to aim for… Whichever way you do it check 
out the posture images on the web - e.g. elbows 90 degrees or slightly lower 
when standing, etc. Today I’m combining Pomodoro Technique with standing 
sitting to see how that feels (e.g. 2 pomodoros standing followed by 2 sitting 
etc)

RE: Hacked together standing desk

[Anthony Borton]

I’ve been using a Varidesk Pro Plus from Varidesk  (http://au.varidesk.com/) 
for a while and find myself alternating between standing and sitting every hour 
or so. It’s $440 plus delivery but it can be placed on most existing desks to 
convert it into a sit/stand desk pretty easily. I have dual 26” monitors on it 
and raising/lowering the desk is really easy.

MVC Membership

[Stephen Price]

Hey all,

I'm a bit confused guys... Noticed they changed the membership stuff for
MVC websites so did some reading and found the new stuff is called
SimpleMembership. But then I find there's something else called Asp.Net
Identity which works with Azure and AD.
So now I've no idea which I should be going with (all my sites live in
Azure currently).

Once I decide which to use I'll need to migrate my current app to it.
Anyone done that (I did it once for another site to SimpleMembership but
don't think I kept the steps I followed).
Or would it be easier to start over from a new MVC template and move my
code over? I've not released this site so can just blow away the database
stuff (ie no need to mess about with Migration scripts/code just yet).

Did some searches but not found anything yet. Is it really that new?

cheers
Stephen
