Ten Points Random

Running over dogs

No, I didn’t hit any.

I’m note sure what it it.  As I was driving to church today there was a guy walking his son and 3-4 small, white, fuzzy dogs.  (I’m assuming they were Bichon Frisés.)  Anyhow, none of them were on leashes, so they wandered wherever they wanted – including onto the road.  I stopped for one, who thought its walk would be better spent on the other side of the road.  I stared to go again.  Just as I was starting to get up to speed, another dog that had walked on ahead decided it wanted to cross the road too.  Right in front of me!

Since I was keeping a wary eye on it already, I was able to stop just fine, but what is it that possesses people to think it’s okay to take a whole bunch of dogs out, without training or leash, and just let them run around as you “walk” them?  Anyone who was driving with less care/who was driving distracted would have turned that fuzzy creature into a splat on the road.  Admittedly, it’s the driver’s responsibility to watch the road, but even the best driver can’t go from 65 to 0 when something darts out ten feet in front of him.

Anyhow, be sure to keep your dogs on a leash, or don’t scome crying to me when I run it over.

Too many screens

by on Jan.24, 2009 @ 12:09 pm, under Interface, Technology

This isn’t exactly brand new, but hey, I thought I’d throw it up anyway.

Many Monitors

I guess I have an obsession for many motitors and screen space.

What you see:

  • Left 2 monitors: laptop and its second head.
  • Topmost monitor (on the shelf): tablet laptop.
  • Main 4 monitors: 22″ widescreens.  Two are connected to  a GeForce 8800 GTX (lower) and two are connected to a GeForce 9800 GT.  The combined resolution of just these four monitors alone is over 7 million pixels.
  • Mouse: Logitech G5: one of the best mouses out there.
  • Linksys router: Running DD-WRT this acts as a wireless network bridge to the network upstairs, where the modem is.
  • Keyboard/nanoKontrol/nanoPad – Some misc. MIDI devices for a sound project I’ve been working on.

Using Synergy I can control all three computers with one mouse/keyboard.

Me too – get a blog, and a site

So.

I do web development for a living.  And I don’t have a website.

It’s time I get one.

Here it is.
