I'm finally back to having some free time for myself. Last weekend (yesterday and the day before yesterday) were fun days, but I was connected to my computers for most of the time. I had a choice to disconnect or do some other connected work and I chose the latter. I'm actually glad that I did, because now my docket is clear.
I recently moved to a new place and put much of my stuff in storage in the basement until I could find time to bring it out. I can now start unpacking that stuff and put it to work. Chad (the sensor man) gave me a NEC MultiSync XE21 monitor to use (actually to keep, he doesn't want it anymore). I had hesitated to bring out the "big guns", i.e. my larger flat panels, but now is the time. I'm also bringing up a few more servers, so if you hear a humming in my neighborhood, just ignore it and assume that there is considerable data munching behind these doors. I'd recommend you keep a safe perimeter of 50 yards or more so that you don't lose a limb with all of the activity. Seriously, I've spent the last four months on three machines and feel completely useless. It will be nice to get more of this stuff back in action. I need to get back to running some serious projects and have been itching to do so.
The Labrary is about to get "lit up" with dual 24" Samsung 243T's on workstation one and a single HP f2304 on workstation two. Of course, workstation one is the machine with dual pan-and-tilt cameras, dual Saitek joysticks, a Nostromo SpeedPad N52 and various other USB devices that will overload that monster.
My internet machine has one 13" Amdek amber monitor for my viewing pleasure.
After this silly shuffle, perhaps I can get back to yelling at the world a bit and even talking about something more interesting.
