multimon

Trying to get good wallpapers for a multiple-monitor configuration is difficult. The people who make wallpapers for fun and profit usually have one screen so they never realize alot of us have more than 1680×1050 pixels to fill.
I, however, am an afficionado of widescreen and multi-screen wallpapers (which I’m collecting on my Multi-Monitor Resource Page). [...]

I ran a traffic analysis today and must say, I like the results. Stats are for the dates of 07/14/07 19:40:19 through 10/16/07 17:09:55. All stats have had internal addresses (hits from me) filtered out, so this is pure external data.

Some of you will recall my previous entry regarding my enrollment in the Windows Vista SP1 Beta. The plan was to download the first available image, install three of the same video card (to acheive what Microsoft calls a “Homogenous Multi-Adapter Configuration” - That is, all three cards on the same driver), and use it [...]

This Thursday I’m planning to pick up a new mini-fridge for the lab; haven’t had one since two apartments ago. Currently I’m considering the Haier 2.7 cu ft Compact Combo Fridge for the low price of what I make in 2.8 hours.
Looks like it can hold nearly a week’s worth of Mountain dew, plus ice [...]

I came across this image from a link at Channel9, a popular Microsoft-hosted .NET programming forum. You can download it here, but be warned the picture measures 4096×4096 pixels.
Finally, an image large enough that I could scale it across my eight-foot-wide desktop without much pixelation. I cropped out a 4096×512px area over North America and [...]

One of my computers at home is dedicated to productivity work (i.e. research, development, etc). Generally when I describe the computer to people, they gape in awe or exclaim how crazy I must be. Allow me to provide a brief synopsis for your Googling pleasure.
My main productivity machine started out as a pretty basic system. [...]

Someone at Channel9, a developers’ forum I frequently visit, posted something I disagreed with regarding optimal Multimon Configurations. I had to provide a response, mirrored here for your reading pleasure.

The site was down for two days. You may have noticed the errors. Y’see, what happened is that I got a package via FedEx. New stuff doesn’t combine well with my inborn need for instant gratification (Thank you, Internet Age). The package contained a motherboard (Asus M2V) and CPU (AMD Athalon 64 4200+ Dual-Core; what [...]

The server just got a new old secondary video card (ATI Radeon 9250). It’s not great, but it has eliminated the artifacting I was seeing in the old ATI Radeon 7500. Maybe the old one crapped out because it lost its heatsink a few years ago; hard to say. Regardless, that’s why the server went [...]
