Men build a monitoring site for desert locusts at the Monitoring and Control Centre in Qardho, Puntland State, Somalia, on 12 November 2020. FAO in Somalia is continuously upscaling its facilities to help mitigate against the effects of desert locust on local communities. FAO in Somalia’s desert locust support activities help local pastoralists and farmers to save their crops from the insect infestations.

Upgraded from the 17" ViewSonic to a 26" LCD TV. So far it's running great as a monitor. Built in tuner makes it easy to switch back and forth.
Running it in Fedora Linux at 1280x768 @ 60 Hz.
Still have to figure out what to do with the high-end 2.1 speakers you see on the right. Have to hook them up to the desktop's output as well as the TV's so when I switch to the tuner it outputs the TV's audio. I've got cable splitters up the ass with this setup. Don't get me started on the 5 outputs I need from my audio card...
As for oversized LCDs, I've been using my 26" LCD TV as a monitor for almost 2 weeks now. I'm going to write something useful to circulate more broadly later, but for now, suffice it to say it's worth it. It runs at 1280x768, so it's shorter than I like at 1280x1024. It's a LOT easier on the eyes. Your head has to scan around more, but I've noticed that I never squint anymore trying to read a small icon or block of text in a title bar or something. Besides, it's mostly eye movement more than neck movement so your neck doesn't get sore. If anything, forcing your neck to rotate is probably better for you than keeping it more stationary with a smaller screen. For games it's just crazy. The only downside is the price as well as the slight high pitched hum you can sometimes hear. I think it's caused by the TV tuner so it doesn't come on when you're using the DVI input from the PC. I have to check on that.

This electronic Watchman Oil Monitor remotely monitors the level of oil in the tank via a wireless transmitter and receiver. The Watchman Oil Monitor continually indicates the level of oil on a LCD wall plug receiver.
TO VIEW sit back from your monitor 2 feet and place your index finger about 10 inches in front of your eyes and focus on your finger. This will cause your eyes to go comfortably cross eyed. Keep that same cross eyed focus and notice there are now 3 photos in the back ground. Do not let your eyes leave the cross eye as you look at the middle picture which has appeared. Now increase or decrease how much your eyes are cross eyed until the image pops into 3D. Your eyes will want to leave the cross eye, but fight that urge. This is an acquired skill and takes practice. Stop if it's uncomfortable.
Students are checking plants for pest problems. One of their monitoring tools are yellow sticky cards which trapo flying insects such as whitefly, fungus gants and aphids.

I took a whole lot of photos from the window of the plane. There will be more, but for now I'm pretty proud of this one.
On our second full day we went to the Ancient City of Sigiriya.
Varanus salvator, commonly known as the Water Monitor, is a large lizard native to South and Southeast Asia. Water Monitors are one of the most common monitor lizards found throughout Asia, and range from Sri Lanka and India to Indochina, the Malay Peninsula, and various islands of Indonesia, living in areas close to water.
The species is known as Malayan Water Monitor, Asian Water Monitor, Common Water Monitor, Two-banded Monitor, and as Rice Lizard, Ring Lizard, Plain Lizard and No-mark Lizard.
Water Monitors defend themselves using their tails, claws, and jaws. They are excellent swimmers, using the raised fin on their tails to steer through water. They are carnivores, and consume a wide range of prey. They are known to eat fish, frogs, rodents, birds, crabs, and snakes. They have also been known to eat turtles, as well as young crocodiles and crocodile eggs. Like the Komodo Dragon, they will often eat carrion. Water Monitors have been observed eating catfish in a fashion similar to a mammalian carnivore, tearing off chunks of meat with their sharp teeth while holding it with their front legs and then separating different parts of the fish for sequential consumption.
They are hunted (often illegally) for their skins, with as many as 1.5 million skins being exported each year to Europe, the U.S., and Japan for use in fashion accessories such as shoes, belts and handbags. In some places they are even consumed by humans. Loss of habitat and hunting has exterminated Water Monitors from most of mainland India. In other areas they survive despite being hunted, due in part to the fact that larger ones, including large females that breed large numbers of eggs, have tough skins that are not desirable.
In Sri Lanka, they are protected by locals who value their predation of "crabs that would otherwise undermine the banks of rice fields".

An ASUS VG236 120 Hz '3d' monitor.
I've been wanting a 3d monitor for a while for playing with 3d photography, 3d video, and yes, also 3d gaming. And this one was on sale, plus I had some store credit at ncix, so I figured I may as well buy myself something.
Unfortunately NVidia's 3D Vision system only works with GeForce cards in Windows. No linux. For Linux stereoscopic 3d one needs to buy a Quadro card, which are, like, $2000+. Hopefully either the price of 3d-compatible Quadro cards comes down over the next couple of years or someone writes stereoscopic 3d drivers for GeForce cards in linux. In the meantime 3d will only work for me on Thangorodrim and not on Tol Galen. (And right now it isn't even working on Thangorodrim - I'm pretty sure it's an issue with my KVM switch. I need to wait for my new DVI cables before recabling things.) (UPDATE: Working now. Not a cabling problem but a driver problem. Install new video drivers and everything is working perfectly (in Windows 7) now.)
Unfortunately re-arranging my computer stuff meant I don't have enough long DVI cables, so now I have to wait another week for the longer cables to come in before everything is set up properly. (Plus Ubuntu is also complaining about a disk error, so I need to dig up my Ubuntu usb key drive to try and fix that - hope I also don't need a new harddrive now ...)
The basic setup. Every ten minutes the monitor measures temperature, relative humidity, light, and power supply voltage, then saves it to a micro SD card.

Photo editing just became a lot more fun and quite a bit easier with the purchase of this new 28 inch,1080p LCD monitor! I used a bunch of Christmas gift cards to pay for most of it. It finally came in last night, replacing my dual monitor setup of a 21 inch Trinitron CTR and an old 19 inch CTR. I hated it because each monitor had different colors. It sucked not knowing what was true black or true white. Now all colors are crispy and sharp, running a resolution of 1920 X 1600. Its a jaw dropper.
