Nickycakes Added 3″ to His Length and Width For Free
Posted on January 31st, 2008 in Uncategorized
If there’s one thing that’s for sure, it’s that Nickycakes has needed a new monitor for a long ass time. In fact, next month he was thinking about shelling out a few extra bucks for a new one. That was until last week when good buddy Yi Lu from http://www.findmeseo.com sent him a message about a 20″ flatscreen he was replacing.
Long story short, the thing came in the mail today from DHL complete with a metric fuckton of packing peanuts. So the Cakes threw it up side-by-side with his old 17 incher and is currently living in the new and exciting world of dual-monitor heaven.
The Nvidia card has decent support for dual monitors, however, to get things running right, you gotta install http://www.realtimesoft.com/ultramon/. It adds a bunch of cool stuff like an extra taskbar for the secondary monitor and is workin’ pretty well.
Thanks for the hookup man, good lookin out. Keep it real.

I have to agree, Ultramon is great. I don’t even know what half the other features are, I just like the extra taskbar and being able to minimize programs running on one screen to the taskbar on that screen.
Hey, I use a notepad for a mousepad, too - I’ve done it for years. Makes it easy to jot down notes.
Keep the good posts coming. I’m enjoying them and learning a bunch.

Visit my blog to see how you can add 3″ to your LENGTH AND GIRTH!
But seriously, you need to set-up dual monitors (equal sizes). Once you go dual…. we’ll, you’re always cool?

“But seriously, you need to set-up dual monitors (equal sizes)”
Actually, some widescreens pair really well with standard monitors. A 24″ Widescreen (1920×1200) lines up really nicely next to a 20″ standard (1600×1200). A 22″ widescreen (1680×1050) should line up nicely with a 19″ standard (1280×1024).
I’m at three monitors right now in my tiny home office/closet (24″ center for coding, 20″ right for browsing/testing, 17″ left for email/itunes). The wife thinks I’m crazy, but it’s kick ass productive.
