Standing and working

I've been working seriously long hours trying to get GraphiteCharts up to scratch and its beginning to have an affect on my health. More specifically my back. So starting today I'm going to start working standing up. I got a new, smaller desk and have placed it over my existing desk. Seems to be working so far. But its just 2 hours in and too early to tell.

I had tried this earlier with stacks of CS books but the iMac isn't very stable on a stack of books. I've chanced upon a small desk and suddenly thought of giving this a new shot. Lets see how this goes hopefully it will work out and will also help me concentrate more rather than having to rest my back every so often (note to self: just lose weight you fat fool). I spend around 15 hrs a day in front of a computer of some sort (yeah I know, no life etc. etc.). This has been the case for a while now since the final years of my undergraduate degree through to my masters and now this charting library. I get cramps and pain in different parts of my back depending on different postures I try. So its not working out. Standing is worth a shot.

Obligatory picture below.

Will report back in a week or so about how its progressing.
