Multiple monitors, Multiple times the productivity?

1 03 2008

I have been debating recently whether or not I should by a second monitor to increase my screen area and hopefully productivity (it’s not as if I just I’m just going to use it to play games on… well hopefully as that might lead to a decrease in productivity).

It has a 15.4″ widescreen monitor, so I have been debating on whether or not to buy a second. Will it actually do anything for my productivity?

Visual Studio, what’s the difference?

Light cycles & heavy blogging

11 02 2008

Am I going to be one of the bloggers who is constantly upon their soapbox dishing out advice and their views on the major news events, or perhaps one of the narcissistic bloggers who only seem to talk about themselves and their own importance, or will I perhaps be one of the bloggers who talks with authority and knowledge on a certain subject.

Hello World!

notepad

cout << "Hello World!";

Well, finally I’m going to start blogging, I’ve had idea to start in my head for ages but hadn’t got round to doing anything about it. The blog still needs a visual identity but I thought I’d just get on with posting anyway.
