Well. Iafter waking up at about 10:30 ish I got up, and decided that I would sort my bedroom out as it is a mess from when I got my new pooter last week.

the plan was to just put the big monitor over on my hi fi so I could watch programs / dvd's in bed easier. So I opened up the vga extension cables I bought off ebay. Ebay said they were 1.8m invoice says 1.5m and reality is 1.3m.  ::) So a snot o gram got sent to the sender!

I then wired in the monitor and found that vista is better on a big screen as everything is squeezed in on a 15" one.  ::) So then the challeneg of un wiring the old monitor from behind the desk and wiring in the new one.  This has taken me all afternoon and a few select swear words have been said.

So today I have achieved, swapping over 2 monitors, tidy my desk, washed bed sheets and made a sausage and bean toasted sarnie.  ::)

Not much really. But having 2 monitors working at either side of the room looks quite cool though. I just used a vga splitter from same person on ebay.

Oh and the cables I bought were all male-female (which is what I wanted) except every plug has a srew thing in so you cant actually lock them together with the screws.  ::)

More productive than mine:

Went to fitness training for the first time in... too long. Cold, wet and muddy - but I do feel better for it.  :ner:

Did the shopping, then walked in to town to post a parcel, got back... that's about it.  :undecided:

Drove the Land Rover (to keep it vaguely on topic) to and from...  8-[

Got stuff to do outside: wash two muddy bikes, rake up leaves etc. but it's too cold  :pacman:
