Went to McDonald’s (it was close, I was starving). Ordered a meal (just one). Asked for some Ketchup. Guy gave me 13 packets.

Just a tad wasteful.

… but the Sony G500 21″ CRT I got off craigslist will do. I had forgotten how much more comfortable it is to do, well, anything really, on a 1600×1200 screen compared to a 1280×1024 one. Web browsing at that resolution is just SO much better it’s not even funny. And I *finally* realized my dream of being able to use 3200×1200 dual monitor wallpapers. =)

On the other hand, there are downsides. This thing is freaking huge. Even though it’s shorter than most 21″ CRTs, it’s still a mammoth screen, and I had to rearrange my room/desk (again) to find a good way of setting all 3 screens up. And it puts out quite a bit of heat as well, which isn’t exactly a good thing when I already had 3 computers, 2 monitors (the third is usually turned off), a receiver and a speaker system almost always on.

So anyway, life has more or less settled into a routine for me – something that’s hard to avoid when working 8-to-5, Monday-to-Friday. Can’t say that it’s a bad thing either, though the newfound lack of free time does come at a somewhat annoying time.

And, of course, there’s still that one thing. To ask me to forget the unforgettable… just can’t do it.

P.S.: I still hate my router.
