Morning good fellows (and the naughty ones!)

WFH today. Got lots to do so I had a nice lie in.

Towels in the WM.

I have been pondering for the better part of a year over getting a new monitor to replace the two ancient ones I have and I have finally ordered something. Thanks to HWMBO who kept an eye out for monitor reviews and sent them over to me. Although, some of his suggestions were less than practical.

I have gone for this: Dell UltraSharp 34 Curved USB-C Monitor: U3419W. What with a £15 voucher I had from a previous order, and 10% cashback on my Amex, it's almost good value Hopefully it'll last as long as the two I've had since 2007 (just checked my asset register and they cost me about £300 each, so I've had my money's worth).

Morning all

Grey, dark, dank, dreary.

No currently perceptible precipitation.

Apparently it's Tuesday.

^^Speaking of monitors, currently wondering how the feck to get rid of a 21" CTX and a 26" colour tv.

I'm not sure I'm strong enough to deal with them any more.

You need a sack trolley but it's still hard work getting them on/off the damn thing.

Join your local Freecycle collective and put them on there and someone will take them away, no doubt.

I moved to 1 ultrawide monitor and within a fortnight was back to 2 separate screens. Mine are both 24" inch WQHD so 1440 x 2560 each.

That's my concern. It got a good review for the picture by picture feature for inputs from two computers and I'm hoping when I use it with one input I can divvy things up on screen in a way that won't annoy me too much.

I also liked that it's got a KVM built in so I have less kit on my desk (in theory!)

Morning all. Enjoying my nature documentaries at the moment. Watched this one about Kosi Bay in north eastern South Africa last night:

In totally irrelevant news, watched JoJo Rabbit the other day, a brilliant film that is polarising the critics

Morning denizens

Grey but with some minor gaps developing, dry, 8°C

I’ve had a 34” curved monitor for several years now, though not as HD as that one, and I really like it. In fact, I have it hooked up to my 5K iMac and the latter’s beautiful screen is relegated to being off to one side for occasionally checking stuff on. But I work primarily in JetBrains IDEs, which tend to have a lot of panes (side-by-side editors, project structure, database structure, debugger console, container management, terminal, etc. etc.) and thus benefit greatly from being stretched out really wide
