Busy Day

Had a busy day today - am ready to go to Red Rooster for dinner!

  • Worked on clients projects most of the day - have lots on the go.
  • Dealt with 2 clients websites that have issues (the clients not the websites!)
  • Finished our end of year tax reporting as well.
  • Now time to relax for the evening - away from the PC!

Interesting ethical questions

I was reading an article on Real Live Preacher the other day. http://www.reallivepreacher.com/node/1394

Gordon poses the questions of what is morality as it relates to fantasy. When we are playing a game, acting a fantasy or story, reading a novel, watching a movie, is there a line between good and evil actions? Is child sex in a cartoon OK? The English propose to make it illegal. Why not then extend this to rape, murder, stealing, drug use, etc in movies, stories, books, etc. Alternatively, if it is OK to have some of these illegal activities portrayed in fictional situations, why not all of them? On what basis do we determine that some are good and some are bad?

Digging the garden

My dad always said there was no need to go to the gym when you had a garden you could go and dig!

Well I just finished digging the garden twice over, once to turn it over and the second time to work through all the mulch and compost I put into it.

I got away with only one blister!

Multiple Monitors

I have been working with 2 monitors for years.
This week I upgraded to 3 and after tomorrow will be using 4 (when I pick up a long enough DVI cable to reach)

Already with 3 I have found some productivity gains.
I have 2 22" widescreens as my main monitors and 2 19" widescreens either side of them. As my desk is a curved reception desk (curves through 90 degrees) they sit very nicely on it.
So how did I make it work? Well two BFGTech 8800GTX OC 768Mb video cards (SLI) help - and a massive server case fan to cool them!
I have the 2 19"s either side of the main 22" monitors. So from left to right they are numbers 3, 1, 2, 4
