New Toys
It’s been a busy month, lots of year end deadlines, lots of boxes to unpack from my recent move. I finally got around to doing a few things for myself. One of those things was to purchase a second monitor. In this case it was a Westinghouse 19w4 19″ widescreen (on sale at Best Buy). Not only does this thing let me run with dual heads, but I also use it to replace the 17″, 80 lbs CRT behemoth that was using half of my desk for the PC my kids use.
To make this a little easier, I picked up a Belkin Flip, which is easily the best and easiest KVM switch I have ever used. There seems to be a minor issue with my mac not quite recognizing the monitor when connected through it, but I’m working on that.
I also just won a copy of Hal Fulton’s ‘The Ruby Way’ at tonight’s Raleigh Ruby Meetup. Now I have something to read over the break. Perhaps I will also find time to review it as well.
