Multiple monitors, Multiple times the productivity?

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). I currently work from my Sony Vaio FE28B laptop, I really like it, its 1.5 yrs old and still does ok for my needs. 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?

 

Should I stay or should I go … with Visual Studio 2005 or 2008 is the question in this particular case. At the moment I’m using VS 05, but since Microsoft introduced DreamSpark any student (in North America, Europe or Asia at the moment) can get Visual Studio 2008 Pro for free.

 

C# and stuff

I’ve recently been attempting to learn C#, not that it ’should’ be too difficult for someone who is supposed to be able to program in C++, but then again I should also be able to tell you how to do various other things that I have apparently learned over the last year and a half.

Light cycles & heavy blogging

As I sit here thinking how to start this second post a question came to me, what type of blogger am I (or am I going to be is perhaps more accurate)? 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!

 

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.
