If you have ever wondered how his workplace looks like
just watch the home movie posted by the academy...

Warning: large videos (for both meanings of 'large') Posted Apr 19, 2012 17:51 UTC (Thu) by pr1268 (subscriber, #24648) [Link] Be advised, 730 MB download (but thanks for the link!). Also, not that this matters to most, but 1920×1080 videos bring my dinosaur of a computer to its knees! :-( One last general comment - Linus' European accent has almost totally disappeared. Sounds as if he's totally been assimilated. ;-)

For the poor souls Posted Apr 19, 2012 22:27 UTC (Thu) by man_ls (subscriber, #15091) [Link] Could anyone just post it to youtube or a similar service and post the link? Thanks!
For the poor souls Posted Apr 20, 2012 1:13 UTC (Fri) by Tobu (subscriber, #24111) [Link] Here is a smaller file (joined and shrunk to 17M with handbrake).
For the poor souls Posted Apr 20, 2012 21:08 UTC (Fri) by man_ls (subscriber, #15091) [Link] This one has sound, but it is lost at about the same point that the youtube version started. Weird. Thanks to both of you!And the "European" (Finnish) accent is not washed out yet, perhaps not the pronunciation but the intonation is still there.

There is also a youtube link on the academy's web page: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a1MCvuDvCaQ. (It doesn't stand out because it's not marked up as a link.)
I'm guessing this is the same as the 730Mb download, because it's about 8 minutes long and shows Linus's home office towards the end.

Na, that's old footage from his former house...

For the poor souls Posted Apr 20, 2012 21:02 UTC (Fri) by man_ls (subscriber, #15091) [Link] Thanks, but for some reason I can't hear the sound (apparently the sound track is there but empty).

gosh, he should really put that monitor a little higher, so he can sit higher. (otherwise his setup is pretty ergonomic, although I expected him to have [far] more monitors)
