What’s on a mobile CTO’s desktop?

Along the lines of “how to [..] feed your CTO“, and “N things you didn’t know about blogger X“, I was staring at my cluttered desktop, wondering what it all means.

Featuring…

• A variety of development tools (Eclipse, Visual Studio, MySQL, Wireshark, FTP, SCP, JMeter scripts, a JSON parser)
• The Android SDK
• Portions of a mobile web book I am writing
• Slideware for various products  & projects
• Domain analysis results
• An Ubuntu ISO image and an Apache install
• An OPML file of mobile blogs
• My registration form for MWC
• A JPG helpfully named “graph”
• A bunch of browsers
• The hiring plan for my team
• MetaWeb Query Language documentation
• Mobile Monday Dublin’s Peer Awards application forms
• Two mysterious text files called “yes” and “no” (?!)
• Some social network clients
• Something to listen to
• Armadillo Run
• …and a folder named “temp” – where all this rubbish is shortly headed.

Yes, that pretty much sums up the last 3 months of my life. What’s on your desktop – and why?
