Cluttered desk

My Dad was Deputy Head of the High School I attended. I remember him having on his (very untidy) desk something he had received as a gift. It was stuck to the desk and consisted of a triangular piece of wood with a brass plaque on it. The words inscribed simply said,

A cluttered desk is a sign of genius.

It’s always stuck with me. I remembered it the other day, so whipped up a banner in Publisher, got it laminated and have stuck it to the front of my teacher’s desk. Ironically, the above picture was taken at the beginning of a new term when my desk is actually at its tidiest… ;-)

    Hi, just a quick question Doug if you don’t mind: what plugin do you use to display pics.

    Thanks

    Hi Matt - I presume you mean the zoomy thing? It’s actually a piece of Javascript, not a plugin. You can see how to do it here! :-)
