http://gadget.geek.nz/?p=40 Gadgets and geek stuff from New Zealand Mon, 16 Aug 2010 22:23:38 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.0.1 http://gadget.geek.nz/?p=40&cpage=1#comment-269 Back in Kolkata, and monitor troubles « Sayamindu’s Ramblings Thu, 02 Aug 2007 14:10:08 +0000 http://canllaith.org/?p=40#comment-269 [...] Posted by Sayamindu 0 minutes ago I use a 7 year old CRT monitor at home for my primary desktop (which is also my main “work” machine). After coming back from the UK, I found that it was refusing to work (and was making some really nasty crackling noise). However, it seemed to fix itself yesterday, so things are normal once again, though I guess I should buy a new one asap. In SoC related stuff, I have created a seperate branch for Nautilus (nautilus-lockdown) for the deployment and lockdown related code I’m adding to it. I also managed to upload some of my pictures of London at Flickr yesterday. Will be uploading the rest of the pictures (football match, Diego being carried off the field, etc) by this weekend. I finally ordered a laptop for myself - a Dell XPS M1330. Hopefully this will arrive before September, since there seems to be some major delays with this particular system. The config I ordered though is pretty sweet (2 Ghz Core2 Duo processor, 160 GB hard disk, 2 GB RAM, Geforce 8400GS, LED backlit screen, etc), so I think it will be worth the wait.

There must be a reason why so many people at aKademy 2007 had a Thinkpad X60s .... ;-) But the Thinkpad X-series is durable, reliable, light and even looks good after several years of use.
