Finally bought Ikaruga on xbox arcade. Love this game, in spite of how terrible I am at it.

So I've been listening to "Secret of Mana Plus" nonstop recently. It's a prog-rock re-imagining of the soundtrack to Secret of Mana. And in my usual desire to complement my current infatuation with similar music, the closest thing I could find that I already had was post-Waters '80s Pink Floyd.
I got a haircut today. Took off a little more than I normally do, so now I look like Drew Carey.

Hot diggity damn, grats on getting it all set up!

This may goad me into finally getting rid of this shitty ol' 21incher and getting a second 24incher.
- Andy Bakun
it's totally worth it

They rotate 90 degrees too. so I can run one or both vertically as well.

I gotta get XRandR working. One problem I had with having two equal sized monitors is that I'd be tempted to center them, and then that would suck for full screen games. So I'd actually have to have 3 monitors total.
- Andy Bakun
yah, I would've gone with 3, but congrats.. looks great! :) The rotating bit is sweet..
- Tim Hoeck
Unfortunately, my system itself is a bit lacking. My old one died when I was a bit low on funds, so what I had money to get only has one PCI-E slot. I'd need to upgrade and get two new video cards to run more than two monitors. Eventually, I'd like to do just that, and hang a nice TV above to play media on.

Whoo. My Ergotron LX wall mount arms arrived today. Time to mount my monitors to my wall!
Don't catch anything on fire.

we had a violent thunder and lightning storm last night in central florida. lighting hit a church approx 1/2 mile from my house. it is estimated that we had 1200 strikes within a 4hour period. here is the church burning down: http://www.orlandosentinel.com/news... and here is my documentation of the events out of my front door: http://friendfeed.com/cma3...

I wonder how computers would have evolved if we had four arms and hands... We'd all be counting in base 20, for one.
I could finally raid and cyber at the same time!
- Geoff Schultz
Ah, but "therein lies the rub" to use an awkwardly double-entendre-ific phrase of a response. If we had the extra appendages, wouldn't hardware and games have been designed to utilize them?
- Brooks Bishop
I don't rightly know. It is also possible that the detailed motor control would require so much extra processing that we might have never evolved past simple machines. Even in creatures that seem to have lots of arms they tend to only have 2 that have fine motor control. Crabs for instance have their big claws and then two little dexterous arms.

Spent the last hour debugging a piece of XNA Content Pipeline code and screaming at it since there was no ability to debug because it caused an IDE crash, only to finally realize I used an 'M' instead of an 'm' which caused a property calling recursive loop leading to an eventual stack overflow.
