Life in Beta

I broke down tonight and bought a new monitor (23″ HP for anyone who cares). My old monitor was a 27″ Hanspree, which had fantastic resolution and completely spoiled me. Unfortunately, it decided to go totally berzerk on me in the last few weeks, randomly popping up the monitor-menus and refusing to let me close them. No amount of tweaking or driver-updating fixed it.

Working in Visual Studio was pretty much impossible with a giant blue contrast-adjustment menu in the dead-center of the screen, so I decided I should give up and get a new one.

I went to Best Buy and after a slight derailment with them recommending a 32″ LCD television (which totally didn’t work out), I settled on the 23″ HP monitor. It’s shiny, sharp and has nice color. I have it hooked to my Windows 7 desktop via DVI and to my MacBook Pro via HDMI and everything looks great. I’m pretty happy with it.

SO … Guess that means I can get some work done, huh? All those projects I keep hinting at but haven’t made progress with. Riiiiighhht.

I know things have been quiet ’round here lately. Work is nuts. My freelance work list is never-ending. My wrists are aching from all the type-type-typity-typing.

So, needless to say, I have not been much in a blogging mood. I’ll be back eventually though, when things slow down. Really.

I was working tonight and just happened to look down at my desk, realizing that the contents strewn across it are a pretty fair representation of “me” and of what’s going on in my life right now…
