Geek and a Half

December 20th, 2005 by Jake

Yeah, it’s been too long since I blogged, so, might as well make a post while I have some time.

Let’s see, what’s new since I last posted, um… Oh, got a few different kinda of PSP games, and lemmie tell you, gaming on that thing rocks. My favorite would have to be Grand Theft Auto: Liberty City Stories, unbelievable graphics on that thing, and the gameplay is really cool.

Ah, next item on the agenda: My new furniture. We picked up an Ikea desk the other day, and, man is it huge. I mean, really, words cannot express how kickass this desk is, and an improvement over my old one. Check out the before and after pics of my desk. I think this is the cleanest my room has ever been, really. That, and I can now dual-monitor my computer, which is really neat. So much desk space (virtually and physically!), and I don’t know what to do with any of it. Oh well…I suppose I can start by finding some nice desktop widgets from Konfabulator to stick on my second monitor. Also, I picked up this nifty little program called UltraMon that extends your taskbar (sort of) all the way across your second desktop. It can also manage your screensaver and wallpaper for your second monitor, and it will also add two more buttons next to the standard “_X” buttons that allow you to either stretch that window across both monitors, or simply switch it between monitors. Another nifty little feature of UltraMon is that whichever window an application is open in, its corresponding taskbar button is only shown in that monitor’s taskbar. For example, if iTunes is open in monitor 1, its taskbar button will only show on monitor 1’s taskbar, not 2’s. Confused? Good.

I suppose that’s all for now, nothing much more to say, and yes, I’m fully aware that I’m rambling…Mmmkay, I’m done.
