V.T. Eric Layton Posted March 16, 2012 Author Posted March 16, 2012 Who needs fancy-schmancy cairo-dock? My Arch with Xfce works perfectly well for me. That side panel auto-hides, by the way. I just timed it right to get it in the screenie. Quote
securitybreach Posted March 16, 2012 Posted March 16, 2012 New wallpaper so I thought I would show off my desktop again: Clean: Dirty: Quote
V.T. Eric Layton Posted March 16, 2012 Author Posted March 16, 2012 I can understand why you need two monitors... or is that three I see there? Quote
securitybreach Posted March 16, 2012 Posted March 16, 2012 I can understand why you need two monitors... or is that three I see there? That is 3 monitors: 2 x 21" 1600x900 1 x 22" 1920x1080 For a total resolution of 5120x1080 Quote
V.T. Eric Layton Posted March 16, 2012 Author Posted March 16, 2012 For a total resolution of WOW! Quote
securitybreach Posted March 16, 2012 Posted March 16, 2012 For a total resolution of WOW! Eh it is still not enough. That is the thing with multi-monitors: once you get used to having a lot of space, you still want more!! I think I would be content with about 6 x 32" monitors, if I had the money anyway. I think it may be time for multitasking rehab Quote
Urmas Posted March 16, 2012 Posted March 16, 2012 Just imagine... six WQHD (2560x1440) monitors (3x2)... hmm... 7680x2880. Still not enough? Um... NINE? Quote

abarbarian Posted March 16, 2012 Posted March 16, 2012 Just one monitor and an old toshiba lappy would do me Mind you my desk is big enough to house three monitors http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s-16c7ftvLc&html5=True Quote
securitybreach Posted March 17, 2012 Posted March 17, 2012 Mind you my desk is big enough to house three monitors http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s-16c7ftvLc&html5=True That is nuts!! The problem is you have to either find monitors without bezels (which are rare), DIY by removing the bezels, or like he has; a custom job. Both were neat videos Quote

V.T. Eric Layton Posted March 17, 2012 Author Posted March 17, 2012 For now, I think I'll just stick with my little 19" HP LCD. Quote
V.T. Eric Layton Posted March 20, 2012 Author Posted March 20, 2012 This week's desktop will bring back fond memories for you oldtimers... Quote
V.T. Eric Layton Posted March 22, 2012 Author Posted March 22, 2012 Me too. There's just something about that big bird. I can't quite put my finger on it, but I've loved the B-17 since I was a kid. A few years ago I was actually able to climb into one of those fabulous machines. Let me tell you... they were made for men of much smaller stature than I. That fellow in the tailgun position needed to be an anorexic jockey type. Man! That is one cramped spot. The plane I actually was aboard was The Colings Foundation's Nine o' Nine. It's still flying, too. Watch (and listen) to this cool vid of Sentimental Journey's pilots firing up those four monstrous Pratt & Whitney Hornets... 750 horses per engine, baby! They don't make 'em like that anymore. The sound of these engines is deafening. The ground vibrates when they're running them up to speed on the tarmac. It gets the blood flowing. Of course, if you were a young waist gunner in 1943, you'd be whizzing in your shorts about that time, too. What men they were! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ow1LjE1EJwQ...feature=related Quote
V.T. Eric Layton Posted March 22, 2012 Author Posted March 22, 2012 Actually, those are Wright Cyclones. Only the older versions of the B-17s had the Pratt & Whitneys. Quote
