08 Feb 07 The power of 4

Got my new workstation today… 2x 2.66 dual core Xeons… basically 4 CPUs and a nice video card to adequately power my 2 20x Apple Cinema Displays.

07 Feb 07 New TV all setup

Here is the new TV all setup with its new stand and what not. Never have I spent so long tidying cables behind a TV. I now see two reasons to use the HDMI plugins on my TV.

1. Supposed higher quality picture
2. Get rid of the thick component cables.

05 Feb 07 Bought a new TV!

Got a new TV today (lots of backstory on this one).

Here is the old one:

Kept the new one in the box while we tried getting rid of the old one.
Put it on Craigslist tonight at around 9:30pm.
Got a response at 9:43pm from someone wanting to pick it up tonight.
We called them at 9:51pm giving them our address
They came at 10:30pm at our place
After 20 minutes of loading and carrying (200lbs!!)
At 10:50 I was $180 richer and unpacking my new TV.

It is a Hitachi 42″ (42HDT79) Plasma Screen and I’m loving it.
