The Samsung 226BW I ordered arrived today. Decided to take the opportunity to rearrange the computer setup and move things around a bit. I really need some kind of cable management system.
1600×1050 pixels of LCD goodness. This thing is super bright too. Had to crank the brightness all the way down so that it was tolerable. It’s on a swivel stand, but not height adjustable and for some reason it only tilts toward the back. 90° is as far forward as the monitor tilts, so you don’t want to position it too high.
Would like to try and get a dual-head setup going with the new monitor and the old CRT. Might look strange, but it’s one of the Dell Trinitron 17″ monitors and even after 7 years the image quality is still pretty good.
I love this monitor. I want another one now.

Quieter house
Left Hannah with one of the other WHLR volunteers last night to be taken to her vet appointment where she’ll get a a thorough checkup and spay operation. Not sure the dogs really noticed or thought much of her absence but the house was definitely quieter without the three dogs running around. She’ll be back in a few days after her initial recovery for more training and pampering.

Rollermouse Pro from Contour Design
Played with one at the SIIM meeting last year and thought it was very cool. I wonder if it works with Linux. A little on the pricey side though and I don’t think it would fit my Logitech Wave keyboard.
