I feel all studly with my new dual display setup, and my homemade laptop stand (thanks, extruded aluminum!). But hey, this is where I make my living now.

I'm very jealous of your big monitor. (Don't take that in any other way than face value.)

Posted by: Trail Mix on August 24, 2005 05:44 AMHave you (if you're running Tiger) tried turning the monitor sideways? I love the 2405FPW in this configuration: http://www.livejournal.com/users/mayoff/3981.html

Freelance robotics sounds like it is the first step on the road to mad science disease. Take care! (:

I guess laptops cause of the lower power/longer batt life,
better red range, (colorsync profile?)
longer backlight life.
So far I've just been continuing to work for Evolution Robotics, still working on the same vision-based retail loss-prevention project[1]. The significant observable changes are (i) I'm working a lot less (aaah, summer!) and (ii) I mostly work from home. The changes in my mental state are less obvious to others, but they feel pretty significant to me.

Rob: My powerbook (an old 800 MHz TiBook) doesn't seem to support portrait mode.
