Well I did it :)

I now have my monitor array complete. I am sitting in front of 4 Acer 22 inch flat screens running 1680 x 1050. They are sweet! Programming is fantastic. Working on school work is fantastic. The massive screen real estate is great.

Sorry, I have to show off the geek setup here:

One thing I hope that you notice is the lack of paper. Is it always this way? No, I do have paper on the desk sometimes, but it is only when I get it from someone else. It is my goal to produce no paper at all. I figure that I have an awesome system, and I do most of my work on my computer, why do I need paper at all.

The wife on the other hand sees fit to print everything :) I will let her own up to that on her own. I have to admit that I am an enabler there.. I do provide 2 printers in the house (one color ink-jet and a B&W laser) but I hardly ever use them at all. If I see something I want I print it to PDF and then it is always searchable. The extra screen real estate does help me here but the the wife has 2 monitors (her laptop wide screen on her Acer and another Acer 22 inch monitor) so I am not sure what her problem is. I think she just feels 'better' holding paper in her hand to read...

On to finalize the last week of the Software Engineering class  then it is on to an OOP class.

Well here we are reading my new technical blog.

Put it in place using dasBlog and I have to say it was a decent experience but not perfect. The source looks good but I had a heck of a time running it on my hosted server from Crystaltech because of a few things:

• I needed to install it on a Medium trust server. It was not too hard but you have to pay attention to the installation instructions for sure.
• My hosted server was running the 3.5 Framework and I was running into all kinds of issues. All I did was load up the source code into VS 2008, rebuild, and then deployed that new image to my site. BANG! Came right up after that.

I have to say that I am pretty impressed so far. We will see how the new relationship goes though.

Keep your eyes open, I hope to start posting some decently interesting stuff here soon.
