Update on dual monitors.
Scott Hanselman commented on my dual monitor migration. He pointed me to a really cool utility called Ultramon. [1] So far I really love the task-bar feature which gives me per-desktop task bars. Unfortunately, the taskbar feature doesn't seem to coexist well with ATI's Hydravision utility which gives me additional hardware accelerated virtual desktops, so I only have the per-desktop task bars on my first virtual desktop.
Werner Vogels chimes in with geek one-upmanship ... he has THREE flat panels on his desktop. And they're not just any flat panels, these are big huge honking expensive flat panels. Damn, I'm jealous :)
Don "luddite" Box comments about how much he likes the larger 1024 x 768 pixels on his Thinkpad x30. Hey - how many pixels do you need to run emacs and type all those angle brackets anyways? :)
[1] This brings back memories of my old Commodore PET days where there were a lot of machine-language monitor (think 6502 debugger) utilities. The original machine language monitor on the PET (remember sys 4?) was woefully limited - it could only do hex dumps and display the register stack. This spawned a whole cottage industry of utilities; first there was SuperMon, ExtraMon and eventually ... UltraMon. [IUnknown.com: John Lam's Weblog on Software Development] |

"Data! data! data!" he cried impatiently. "I can't make bricks without clay."

Arthur Conan Doyle.
"I
like deadlines," cartoonist Scott Adams once said. "I especially like the
whooshing sound they make as they fly by."
"There is nothing like that feeling of spending days and days banging your head
against a wall trying to solve a programming problem then suddenly finding that
one tiny obscure and seemingly unrelated piece of the puzzle that unlocks the
solution. Oh yeah!"
- Chris Maunder, CodeProject Newsletter 28 Jan 2002
"Management at eSnipe,
which is me, is also feeling the pain of the 2002 bear market. So rather than
pout about it, I bought some stuff on eBay that I really didn’t need, but made
me feel better."
