My New Nephew

by

Today I am an uncle (again). My sister gave birth to a baby boy at around 2:30PM today. Zachary proves that babies show up when they want, and they don’t care if their parents have other plans. Sorry you missed Morgan’s dance performance, Carrie but we all said he would show up on his own time. I guess that time was exactly 1 day early.

I was stuck at work today and the hospital is on long island so I will go see my sister and new nephew tomorrow.

Ironically today is also my brother in law’s birthday. So now I just need to remember 1 birth date for the men on that side of the family.

New Desk Setup

by

Now that the iMac is gone I was able to reorganize my desk a bit and get back to 1 monitor. I rewired my desk with KVM cables. I now have my HP desktop plugged back in along with my Macbook on the same monitor. I switched back to a VGA monitor and put away my 20″ Apple Cinema Display. I am hoping to sell the Apple display since it doesn’t work with my VGA KVM. It is DVI of course. Those displays retain their value a bit so I am hopeful I will get a decent amount of cash for it. Now I can plug in up to 2 more computers but right now I only need to plug in 2.

I also cleaned up some cables and did some heavy dusting while I was under my desk. Man the dust accumulates.

Work Saturday

by

I was in the office most of the day today. Jayson needed a server built and I had a ton of backlogged items I needed to do. I just put my iPod in my pocket, clipped the remote to my shirt and cranked up the tunes and got to it. The iPod is a must when spending more than a few minutes in the computer room. It is loud in there.

In many ways I don’t like working on the weekend, but in others it is not so bad. The downside is that I actually have to work. The upside is that no one is around to distract me. I got a ton done.

iMac is Sold

by

I have completed my sale of my 20″ intel iMac. It didn’t sell on ebay but one of the bidders was local (i do live in the biggest city in the country) and still wanted it, was willing to pay for the reserve and show up to get it. Now that I have my money I will pay for the Macbook I just got!

Before the sale I ran out on this crappy morning for a hair cut. and then ran off to work (see next post)
