More Home Office Additions

bjarvisWork continues to demand things which, well, I've never needed previously.
My smaller 14" monitors were adequate for all of my home projects but yesterday's code deployment made clear that I needed more screen real estate. Fortunately, there was a computer flea market in Laurel, MD, this weekend...
For $180 USD, here's a photo of my new 22" flat panel monitor, connected to the netbook I bought in January for work, taken with the Crackberry Storm I bought in February for work... Sensing a pattern here?
In other news, I finally figured out how to null out the settings in my old Jabra BT130 bluetooth earpiece so I could bond it with the Crackberry. Yay! And the extra ethernet cables I ordered for the data center should be arriving early next week.
I still need to get the wireless telephone headset working fully with the data center telephone --it's an earmuff style set so I can hear over the roar of the servers. I also need extra power cables which will let me plug new toys into the power strips of our server racks. There's always something.
March is question month. Got a question for me? Leave it here (screened).

Date: 2009-03-08 09:34 pm (UTC)the other thing stopping me is that day a few years back when my old computer was wheeled away (not at my behest, I had just percolated to the top of Dan-our-department-geek's list), and along with it the CRT monitor. It was replaced with a lovely 17" flatscreen, and (once I stopped gurgling "ooooh! shiny!") I've been in love with it ever since.
not that being a size queen is a bad thing.
