It’s been a while since my last post. I realize that some time ago I promised to blog more often, but really, my life isn’t interesting enough to blog about. I could talk about the girl I went on a date with who turned out to be an (ex?)meth-head, or I could blather on and on about my World of Warcraft exploits, or about how this season of Hell’s Kitchen kicks copious amounts of ass, but I’m not sure any of that stuff is interesting enough to blog about. The last thing I want to do is bore you folks.
I did, however, purchase a new Mac Mini last week, and I’m having a lot of fun with it. The next project is to find my WoW cds and install the game on it, so I can see how well it plays (if at all) — I realize that with the Intel GMA950 graphics it probably won’t play well at 1920×1200 full screen, but maybe 1440×768 windowed will be okay, allowing me to keep various browser/chat clients open and actually pay attention.
Using both it and my desktop nearly simultaneously has proved…amusing. Since the mini lacks legacy keyboard/mouse support (no ps2 ports to be found), I had to find a new KVM, and MicroCenter only had VGA/USB KVMs, and I’ve found that the signal degradation of the VGA system is too much to bear. I’ve ordered a new DVI/USB KVM, that has the added bonus of supporting both speakers and a microphone, so I can happily jam to my music or chat on TS/Ventrilo on either machine.
