Friday Morning Other Stuff (4-4-08)

07:55 AM - April 4, 2008 by Steve_OS

I'm thinking about setting up another monitor, to have that dual monitor config on my PC. Anyone have that setup right now? If so, what are the major benefits of doing this? I have quite a few windows open at the same time, I'm just going to move a few to the other monitor, but was curious what others use it for, or if there is any other reason to have that setup.

Hard to believe the NFL draft is only 3 weeks away. They Boys need corners and WR's, I'm hoping they can somehow land Detroit's Roy Williams via trade though.

What's up with you?

QOTD: What are you up to this weekend?

Happy Birthday to the following OS'ers!

Ive got the dual monitor set up at work (not that i need it). I like it, bc as you said, you have multiple thigns open at once and see them. Instead of Alt-Tabbing back and forth i can just glance to the left or right to see what i need to see, works quite well. I have to give it up though when i go to my new job in a week. Saves me some time and aggravation.

Whats up? My pointer finger is killin me, damn OS, i keep clickin on new threads to read and im paying the price.

QOTD; Weekend is filled with wedding planning, sister-in-laws bday, and yard work.........worst weekend ever

I umpired my first baseball game of the year last night. Couldn't have asked for a better game. The visiting team won 3-0. Nothing crazy happened, and only a few close calls. Easy money.

QOTD: Hopefully Umping some more games, but it looks like the weekend may be washout in NE Ohio.

The Cavs are not looking good going into the playoffs. With the holdouts, injuries, and a lot of tough losses, it's looks like it's not just not their year.

QOTD: Happy to be home this weekend after spending the last two at the in-laws in Dayton. My wife's friend is coming to visit, which is good, because it gives me time to do what I want. If it dries up, I'll probably do some yard work. Definitely will try to get some gaming in.

What does that have to do with illegal immigration though? Every single person in that building could have been a citizen for all you know. Seems like a pretty narrow-minded thing to say.

There is a lot of ugly in the world and MS-13 is a different breed. That was part of the reason I moved to Charlotte. I didn't want to surround myself in the violence. There were many other reasons as well.

Someone where I work got a text the other day saying it was their "initiation night" the other day - that what it would be is that while at a light or stop sign, they would bump the back of your car.. when you got out, they would shoot you.

QOTD - enjoying a weekend for a change - hanging out with a buddy tomorrow, and then either going to the city or out east Sunday with the g/f.

I have the dual monitors set up at home, and I love it. Especially because as a computer science student, I can have my code and documentation up at the same time while I work on things. Also, I play my 360 on one monitor and can have music/internet/etc going on the other window.

QOTD: Playing basketball tonight, playing 2-hand-touch football tomorrow, hanging out with the wife, and doing lots of homework and work-work.

QOTD: Weekend should be pretty relaxing for me, probably just gonna sit back and play some college hoops and watch the Final Four.

Got to go on a tour of Ohio Stadium today, got to go to the recruit room and go on the field, which was really cool. My classes all cancelled today, and it looked like I would be able to go home (my gf would be able to drive me home), but my parents are too busy to take me back, I'm a bit angry at that. So I don't really know whats on tap for the weekend.
