Photos from a review of the LG 23ET83 touchscreen monitor. The full review can be found at: bit.ly/18MKo8T
My temporary setup for this month. My wish-list would be:
- Mac Pro 2011.
- SSDs raid.
- A custom MBP 15".
- Drobo S.
- Maybe a Thunderbolt drive or arrays.
This is one of the nests I'll be monitoring this year. The female's in the nest now, so hopefully she's started laying eggs. Usually two eggs are layed, a few days apart. Ordinarily this gives one chick a great advantage, and the first hatched often kills the second to ensure its own survival if food supplies are tight. This pair however, has a habit of raising two chicks successfully, and one year I'm told that one year they even raised three. Will be fun to watch.
The Eagle Fest was great fun, a success for the organizers, and pretty good for me as well. Sales were much better than I'd anticipated, I met some interesting people, and made some possibly interesting connections with authors looking for pictures. A fine day altogether. A picture of our display is here.
Over the next few weeks of February and March 2020, I made lots of trips to the VA hospital to see my doctor, my cardiologist, and more testing gear. I had ultrasound and CT scans of my heart followed by consultations on what they saw. They say that surgery will probably not be necessary but prescribed more meds. My doctor decided to get me a heart monitor to wear for several weeks. They showed me how to apply the sensors, hook up and turn on the gear, and take it off for wet personal hygiene and showers.
There are four sensors that are placed in specific places that are wired to a small RF transmitter on a lanyard around my neck. The transmitter talks to a modified cell phone that has to be within ten feet or so and sends the data to a medical monitoring station near Chicago. A couple of times a tech called me up to ask why my heartrate was up. The first time was probably due to a stubborn shit that needed urging. The second time I felt nothing and had no explanation. Ultimately, the three week test proved that I did have occasional rapid heartrate episodes at random times.
Besides having to take time to unhook every time I needed to get cleaned up and then hook up again, I had to keep the monitor phone at my bedside, in my purse, on a belt holster, or on the kitchen countertop, dinner table, vanity table, etc. If you click to magnify the photo, you can see icons on the phone that match white, red, green, or black sensor locations.
I was issued the monitor set in March just before the COVID lockdown. I remember hearing BBC reports of a mysterious virus in China during the Christmas 2019 holidays. By January the epidemic was in full swing in China, but the US was paralyzed in its response due to incompetence by Trumputin. I wondered how my VA hospital was going to react to what was obviously a pandemic that would strike Houston.
During my first morning in the hospital, I complimented the guy cleaning my room. I told him I noticed how clean everything was, and that his job would soon be part of a life or death situation. I said I spent as much time in the Army with a broom, mop, and toilet brush as with a rifle and machinegun. He was an Army vet, too and laughed. I said the Army makes a fetish out of cleanliness because in most wars, disease kills more people than battle. I wished him luck because I knew that in a few weeks, lots of patients would be dying, and he would have to clean up after them. I was right.
Harris County has lost more than 8900 people to COVID. Texas has lost more than 69,000 people mostly due to Governor Abbott's bungling and interference with local officials trying to enact public health measures like masking in public places. That's more than we lost in the Vietnam War and all of our useless oil wars in the Middle East combined. Nationwide, the US has lost more than 732,000 deaths due to the Trumputin Covfefe Virus pandemic because Trump and his fellow RepUGLUcan idiots didn't believe in science and wanted to kill as many poor and non-white people in the cities as possible. It is evident that "conservatism" is simply another word for BACKWARDNESS because they oppose all public health measure like mask mandates, prohibitions against indoor crowds, and mandatory vaccinations that could have controlled this disease many months ago.
The Commodore 64, commonly called C64, C=64 (after the graphic logo on the case) or occasionally CBM 64 (for Commodore Business Machines), or VIC-64, is an 8-bit home computer introduced in January 1982 by Commodore International.
Volume production started in the spring of 1982, with machines being released on to the market in August at a price of US$ 595. Preceded by the Commodore VIC-20 and Commodore PET, the C64 took its name from its 64 kilobytes (65,536 bytes) of RAM, and had favorable sound and graphical specifications when compared to contemporary systems such as the Apple II, at a price that was well below the circa US$ 1200 demanded by Apple.
During the C64's lifetime, sales totalled between 12.5 and 17 million units, making it the best-selling single personal computer model of all time. For a substantial period (1983–1986), the C64 dominated the market with between 30% and 40% share and 2 million units sold per year, outselling the IBM PC compatibles, Apple Inc. computers, and Atari 8-bit family computers.

In January 1981, MOS Technology, Inc., Commodore's integrated circuit design subsidiary, initiated a project to design the graphic and audio chips for a next generation video game console. Design work for the chips, named MOS Technology VIC-II (graphics) and MOS Technology SID (audio), was completed in November 1981.
Commodore then began a game console project that would use the new chips—called the Ultimax or alternatively the Commodore MAX Machine, engineered by Yash Terakura from Commodore Japan. This project was eventually cancelled after just a few machines were manufactured for the Japanese market.
At the same time, Robert "Bob" Russell (system programmer and architect on the VIC-20) and Robert "Bob" Yannes (engineer of the SID) were critical of the current product line-up at Commodore, which was a continuation of the Commodore PET line aimed at business users. With the support of Al Charpentier (engineer of the VIC-II) and Charles Winterble (manager of MOS Technology), they proposed to Commodore CEO Jack Tramiel a true low-cost sequel to the VIC-20. Tramiel dictated that the machine should have 64 kB of random-access memory (RAM). Although 64 kB of dynamic random access memory (DRAM) cost over US$100 at the time, he knew that DRAM prices were falling, and would drop to an acceptable level before full production was reached. In November, Tramiel set a deadline for the first weekend of January, to coincide with the 1982 Consumer Electronics Show (CES).
The product was code named the VIC-40 as the successor to the popular VIC-20. The team that constructed it consisted of Bob Russell, Bob Yannes and David A. Ziembicki. The design, prototypes and some sample software was finished in time for the show, after the team had worked tirelessly over both Thanksgiving and Christmas weekends.
The machine incorporated Commodore BASIC 2.0 in ROM. BASIC also served as the user interface shell and was available immediately on startup at the READY. prompt.
When the product was to be presented, the VIC-40 product was renamed C64 to fit the then-current Commodore business products lineup which contained the P128 and the B256, both named by a letter and their respective total memory size (in KBytes).
The C64 made an impressive debut at the January 1982 Winter Consumer Electronics Show, as recalled by Production Engineer David A. Ziembicki: "All we saw at our booth were Atari people with their mouths dropping open, saying, 'How can you do that for $595?'" The answer, as it turned out, was vertical integration; thanks to Commodore's ownership of MOS Technology's semiconductor fabrication facilities, each C64 had an estimated production cost of only US$135.

Water monitor (Varanus salvator macromaculatus)- Tunku Abdul Rahman National Park, Malaysia
Well they are called water monitors for a reason, they like the water! This big individual didn't seem much concerned with getting caught up in the occasional wave.
one of our teams at work is using pair programming on their projects!
this is a set of two keyboards and monitors attached to the same computer, showing the same screen.
These arrived today from B&H to review, pretty sure two will be going back and one will become my new monitor after I am done with the review. My existing Samsung monitor is 7 years old.
So this is more of a semi-complete project that I had planned. I tried to finish making some sort of monitoring room, or security room, however you may view it, and admittedly the biggest pain was trying to design the control console within a tight area. This was the best of my abilities could do.
I'll try to have another pic up soon.
Don't you just love those days when your boss comes by your desk and says, "Go to my office and get yourself a 24" monitor."

This is a very basic setup, and I spend most of my time swapping drives, hence the number sitting in the PC at this time. This was planned to be a development system, but when it is, of course no more photographs!

they finally gave me a second monitor (17" lcd on the left). i had to expense it and bring in my own dual head video card.
at least i don't have to switch back and forth when i work.
