The Daily Teaser — 20-8-2015: Space Stuff

Right … 

That’s that set up … 

Remember, yesterday, that I told you the second monitor had failed on me?

Awkward, especially once you get used to a dual monitor set up.   Making the slideshows for Nik Nak’s Old Peculiar is something it’s helpful for: I put the question sets on one screen, copying text  the Keynote files on the main screen.

To be frank … ?   I’m grateful I’d managed to squirrel away a spare 4:3 monitor.

And that I had the relevant cables to hook it up to my Mac Pro: it’s a bit fussy, like that.

Hopefully … ?   Hopefully, I’l be able to squirrel away a bit of cash to get a new second monitor.

That way?   I’ll have a spare …

The Daily Teaser — 19-5-2015: Degrees of Separation

You know, I SWEAR that’s having some funny effects.

Well, not funny, per se.

But the new dual monitor set up I’m using on my computer seems to have some nice side effects.

Mostly … ?

Well mostly where one or two games — mostly independent effects, like Pac The Man X and Armagetron Advanced* — that seem to to just a hair’s breadth faster.

Yes, I know it’s barely perceivable.

But it does make for a difference: and one I’m not complaining!

The Daily Teaser — 18-5-2015

Right … !

It’s GOT to be said, I’m liking it … ! 

Just so you know what I’m talking about … ?

I’m talking about the fact I’ve bagged an extra monitor for my computer.

Frankly, I can’t imagine how I managed without the pair, I really can’t.

It’s made writing the Teasers … not necessarily easier: but certainly allowed me to have the sites I use in researching them open and on screen at the time of writing.   Rather than having to flick between virtual desktops with Mission Control.

It’s helpful doing the associated slideshows, as well, and will probably let me save some electricity by turning off my TV: I can watch favourite media files without having to transfer them to my Apple TV.

Frankly … ?

It’s as much fun as the Marble Run I got my nephew: I think he enjoyed himself, yesterday.   I know his uncle did …
