Early to Bed, Early to Rise

Sharks game against the Coyotes. Yet again, it was another game in which the Sharks started out looking very disorganized and let the enemy score the first goal, but come back to kick ass. In the end, it was 5 to 2, with the Sharks in the lead. All-in-all, a VERY good game. Lots of good checks, a few good fights, and the best referee-player interaction I’ve ever seen. You really had to have been there to see the ref hit one of the Coyotes players in the face and essentially “clothesline” the guy. It was awesome! I got a new monitor to play with last nite. It’s a ViewSonic VX2235wm 22″ Widescreen LCD display. It’ pretty nice looking, and a bit lighter than I was expecting. Unfortunately, I was expecting the resolution to be a bit higher, but it still looks good. At 1680×1050, it’s still no slouch. The images are crisp and clear, and I didn’t see any ghosting. I played WoW:BC on it last nite while working off the caffeine. It looks a bit big on my desk next to my Dell 2005FPW, a 20″ Widescreen LCD display of the same resolution. It was weird having dual-head at home. This is the first time I’ve ever had that. I could really get used to it. I essentially have dual-head at work, but that’s because I have two different machines with their own display. I share the keyboard and mouse using Synergy This setup works fairly well for me. The left monitor is the Mac, and the right monitor is the Linux box. But having two monitors on the same machine was definitely different. I could easily get used to it. 🙂 All this week, I’ve been getting up before 6:30am. Monday, I needed to be in to work early to file my time exception report (must be filed whenever we make a mistake or need a correction to our time clock for the just-ended pay period) and a PTO request for my MacWorld trip on the 10th. (Both were due before 0900) Tuesday I needed to be in early to set up a new Mac for one of my users. Wednesday, I just felt like it. Yesterday I decided that I liked coming in early and getting an all day spot only one block over. Today I was tired, but when my phone vibrated itself off the table next to my bed and made a loud bang, I woke up pretty quickly. I’ve only had a few hours of sleep, but I think I’ll live. I’ll get to sleep in a bit on Saturday at any rate. WoW:BC is coming along nicely. I’m enjoying the new lands and races. I’m having a boatload of fun with the new content. It’s nice to be able to get rested bonus and XP again. And the quest rewards and drops are VERY nice – even the GREENS are better than most of the stuff in Azeroth! w00t! Yeah, my mage has a pimpin’ new hat, too. 🙂 There was more I wanted to yak about – probably something along the lines of why I haven’t posted for two days, but I can’t remember now. I’m being distracted by work stuff. So I’ll leave it here. Thanks for visiting and Keep Coming Back!!!]]>
