So after living with a single monitor I decided to go back to my three monitor setup, because when I degraded down to only one monitor I lost of a time, when I had a three monitor setup I could get much more done a hell of a lot faster then I did with the single monitor. When your a geek of many things it’s almost a necessity to have multi-monitors. It really can improve your work flow and when your a photographer, a blogger even do some graphic/web designing it really does help to have multiple screens, just saying.
However, This current set up you see is only temporary until I get a second 22inch monitor and then i’m going to upgrade my speakers as well. Not sure when this will happen, but hopefully soon.
If you are wondering why my computer setup looks like and just wondering what it looks like where I write. I created a video of me showing you around my desk and part of my room. Yeah I know I don’t speak very good, never did. But hopefully once a get a new video camera this will be get better because I might get more involved in creating videos. I hope you like the video.
So this is something new, I’m going to start making life log entries and maybe one day I will turn these into vlogs but for now it will just be in this format. I thought it might be useful that I could write down my thoughts and what ever else I have on my mind. I will do a few and see how it goes for there.
Anyways, today was an awkward king of day because I woke up around 5am this morning to see snow! Fell back asleep woke up around 6:40am and just as I was getting out of bed the power goes out, but for a minute and there was even more snow outside, ugh, it’s suppose to be spring, I mowed the lawn on Monday and it’s Wednesday with like 8 inches of snow.
Do you listen to podcasts? I sure do. Podcasts are basically just audio versions of a blog, there are some that are personal that talk about their day, like a journal or a diary, but a online version, there are some called vlogs which is a video blog. Most podcasts are discussions with other people, maybe it’s about tech news, maybe it’s screen casts, like free episodes of how to use Photoshop, there are lots of podcasts that are technology related, social media, pop culture, even history, there is one for everyone. You can learn a lot from these podcasts as well, like I have. So I decided to share the ones that I listen to all the time.
I found these wonderful wallpaper that you could use with your Ubuntu system. I will dig around the internet to find some more wallpaper that you guys might like. Enjoy.
I did lower the quality of the images because when they are high quality they take longer for the page for some people. When you click on the image you will be giving the higher quality image.
My old Logitech Keyboard that I used for some time finally broke, so I was searching new keyboards for around a week and I found the Logitech G15. Though I have already knew about this keyboard for some time. I remember checking out the G15 Version 1 at Best Buy and I always wanted it but the price tag was a bit pricey. So I got a much cheaper one that lasted me many years. I was checking out the Razer Lycosa and I was going to buy that one but I read some reviews on it and I came to a conclusion that Razer is mostly all show and no go. I mean I still think that they are great keyboards, I personally ever used one before but I had read good things about it.
After I decided not to go with the Razer, I looked at the Logitech G11, which is like the G15’s younger brother. it didn’t have LCD, or the cool feeling keys, I was going to get that because it was cheaper than the G15 but then I found out that it’s huge and I didn’t want this huge keyboard on my desk. It was only larger because it had 54 macro keys and mine, the G15 V2 only has 6 per 3 banks which is 18 total. I don’t think I will even use all of them but they are handy. If you play WOW, or other games that require a ton of macro keys, then get the Logitech G11 or the G15 V1 (you will have to buy it used or maybe you can find it brand new for a ton of money).
So all in the end, I went with the Logitech G15 V2 and I think it was a fantastic decision. I love the amber light, I think it’s better than the Blue because the Blue feels a little harsh on the eyes, this amber color is suppose to be easy on your eyes. They keys also have really nice tactile feed back, they feel really great when typing, I think I type better on this keyboard than I did on my old one. The LCD screen is really cool, You can do a lot with it, you can have it display the song that you are listening to, the time, email, IRC, game information, network bandwidth, bunch of other stuff.
if your a gamer or not a gamer, it doesn’t matter this keyboard is amazing. I truly is, If your looking for a keyboard I highly suggest this keyboard.
I give this keyboard 9.5 out of 10. The reason why I gave this keyboard 9.5 is because of the Wrist Rest doesn’t screw on and it can fall off or break as other people have said. The second thing is the USB ports on the back are pointless, they could at least make them USB 2.0 instead of 1.1, They did 1.1 because it’s sharing one usb port and it’s not powered. I would of liked it if it only had one USB port that took up another USB port on your computer, which would be fine to me. How ever I don’t use the ports anyways, So it’s not that big of a deal.
I did do a review video of the keyboard and please forgive me if I do not talk well, The camera isn’t the best at recording audio and I’m not that good talking in general anyways so please be respectful, that’s all I ask. Thanks.
