Your New God and Mine
Wednesday, 1:13 pm in Life
First off, hi to everyone who’s here from fapchan. Yes, this is Loquacia Dee, yes I’m still alive and yes I’m still a fucking furry.
Incidentally, I’m totally claiming credit for creating the word ‘grungefurs’. Yeah, I saw you mooks using it. You love me and you know it.
With that out of the way, I’d just like to take this opportunity to say:

That’s right, folks; that’s a 30” monitor right there. ~Mat [h] bought it for me for my birthday, because apparently 24” monitors are “too peasant”. I have to run the 19” alongside it to do, like yanno, normal work (e.g. webdesign) because the res on the 30” is just fucking insane and no-one’s website looks any good. I don’t care how dynamic it is; it’s not that dynamic.
The pixel width on the beast is equivalent to two ‘normal’ 19”/17” LCDs (that’s one of my double-desktops stretched across it), albeit taller. It runs WoW fine – even in windowed mode – but I haven’t yet had the guts to try and boot up something like Oblivion or (heaven forbid) Neverwinter Nights 2. New videocards are the next item on the list.
It’s sitting, incidentally, in my new study in our new house. More photos of the house when we’ve moved in a bit more betterer.
In other news, I finally caved in and bought Mint today. I’d been resisting because, well, paying for stuff on the Internet? As if!
But, yeah. It’s fucking awesome… even if the licensing makes me sad (licences are the same cost per site no matter how many you’re buying; la-aa-aa-ame!).

I’ll have to admit; I was surprised when I read those two monitors were 30 + 19-inches; I thought they looked smaller. Then again, I’m on a lower-than-peasant machine. And Shaun Inman is one of teh intarweb godz.

Sir! You appear to be casting aspersions upon my monitors! “Look smaller” indeed! I demand satisfaction; pistols at dawn!
And Shaun Inman is one of teh intarweb godz.
Who is he when he’s at home? Asides from the author of Mint, of course.

Resistant to paying for stuff on the internet? EXCUSE ME. Digos and WoW and WHO knows what else. I DECLARE LIES OR HAX.
