Woah…talk about QUICK!

Tuesday, November 6th, 2012

So I’m not really sure why I needed one considering I have a 27″ screen, but Sean ordered me a piece for the Mac so I could setup dual monitors.  For $16 on Amazon he picked up a Thunderbolt to VGA chord that worked INSTANTLY when I plugged it in. I thought I was going to need to sit here and figure out how to push things over to another screen, and then need to figure out what the size was going to be on top of everything else. So of course you can imagine my surprise when everything pre-set itself AND there’s even the ability for me to have a second desktop background instead of the stretched across one that I previously had when using a second monitor (which was being booted off of my laptop).  Oh Mac! How I love your ease of use!!

My only minor complaint is the temporary monitor I’m using, when you’ve got a 27″ iMac, having a little OLD 17″ screen sitting next to it – it just looks so tiny.

This will be taken care of within the next couple of weeks. I’ll be upgrading a 23″ (or bigger).  The definition on this particular monitor sucks based on the fact that it’s 10 years old, but it’s doing its job for the time being – all I need is the ability to easily access my email while I’m waist-deep in Photoshop/Dreamweaver.  It’ll also help for the slower nights with Netflix and Project Free TV.

I’m so far behind on numerous shows it’s unreal. So I’m hoping I’ll be able to catch up on them over the course of the next few days anyway.

Sean’s been bouncing around the house all day waiting for the UPS truck to show up.  My mother preordered Halo 4 for him for Christmas 2011.  He’s been waiting for 11 months for the game to finally be released and is happier than a pig in shit, but more than likely on the verge of tears thanks to the extreme delay with the aftermath of Hurricane Sandy stopping him from being able to jump in front of his XBox to play.  UPS hasn’t even been in the complex today, every loud car that drives past the house he’s got his nose up to the glass in anticipation for the big brown UPS truck.  Unfortunately he might not get it until tomorrow, and even Amazon has already issued an apology to everyone for all deliveries because of the delays with the storm.  To make matters worse, there’s another one coming up the coastline so if we actually wind up getting snow – who knows how long it’s going to be until he can actually play his game.  I feel bad for the guy, but I also can’t help but laugh because he’s moping around like a child who had Christmas taken away from him.
