A Nice Pair

What else do you think I would be referring too, other than the fact that I now have dual monitor support for my computer. If you happen to read Boff's Blog you will note that he has just purchased a shiny new 20" monitor and as a consequence he had a spare monitor that was identical to the one I have - an Eizo 565 monitor. So I bought it from him and now it's connected to my new dual output graphics card (ATI Radeon 1600 Pro). Just need to sort out the calibration of the monitor now.

Seem to have spent all of the week out of the office again but I have decided to bravely/foolishly (delete as applicable) move my Broadband provider to Sky. Inevitable really as now i'm a Sky customer the Sky connect package for 8 MB connection is a fiver a month compared with £26/month with Nildram. Stage 1 has gone very smoothly with me getting the MAC code from Nildram and passing the details to Sky. There is a £20 sign up fee but Sky send you a 108 Mb Netgear wired/wireless router which will provide a useful upgrade to the one I have at present.

First coat of paint due for the boat today (Sunday) as the paint has finally arrived and it's looking a bit sorry for itself in primer at the moment. Sorting out the name next week and getting the graphic produced. The AGM at Durleigh sailing club the other day highlighted the fact that, at the rate the weeks seem to be going by at the moment it won't be too long before the weather is good enough to get out on the water. My Sailing partner is keen as she missed the latter part of last season.

Ordererd the bracket for the TV so that I can wall mount it and when that arrives it will be a case of working out how to best fix it to the wall.

WoW it doesn't get more exciting than this does it?
