[Sir Punicpunch 1,688]

So, uhh, I've been working on my monitor stand again...

Is it coming along well?

didn't wake up at noon today

I woke up at 7am.

 

And I have to wake up even earlier tomorrow.

Height adjust part is done. Now I need the actual monitor mounts to attach to it.

Is height adjustment a very important thing for monitors?

I never really saw the need for that.

For alternating between standing and sitting positions. Yeah, I'm picky like that.

Well, I usually just sit.

[Zyrael 1,471]

I also sit

So, here's another ambitious project: setting up two thin client computers so my sisters don't wreck any more physical computers. If this goes forward, it may mean that my triple monitor setup will turn into a quadruple monitor setup, with the fourth being for a completely separate computer...

 

It also means that my bedroom will then become a server room...

Thanks, he did a really good job with it. Well worth the money heh. Well anyway, how are you? I have work later today, but that isn't gonna be for another 6 hours.

Well, tired, but I don't have to wake up early again for about 2 months, so that's cool.

Good overall, just have to find something that'll cheer me up and I can maintain that for the rest of the day.

Oh my goodness, phase 2 of my monitor stand project is finally done!!
 
Now I need to order three monitor mounts, like these.

Cinny-minny!! Don't let an insulator fall on your head. Those things hurt.

Yay!

 

I can only imagine how many of those videos you've watched.

 

Also, have I mentioned that my monitors can't be mounted on anything but the stands they came with?

I feel like I have, but I Kind of wonder how a monitor arm would be like sometimes.

A gajillion, including the one on the Ergotech triple monitor stand.

 

I think you did, and I can imagine that having a wall-mounted monitor will give a sense that your screen is floating instead of just sitting on the table. Plus, I'm using a medical book and a box of markers as a riser for one of my monitors (technically needs to be replaced because that one doesn't have a VESA mount).

Now that I'm paying more attention, I think I do need to put things under them to make them higher, I'm bending my neck down a lot.

I've found that spare books will fix that quite easily, but they're not the best thing to look at. There are risers that you can get or even build out of scrap wood; you know, like the kind where you could sneak the keyboard underneath when not in use.

 

 

I'm personally not too fond of risers because that's just more surface area for dust to collect. (I have a chronic dust problem in my room.)

I think I'll just use books, maybe DnD books, those are thick and they'll be in handy when I need to use them.

I don't like hiding the keyboard, it just kind of gets annoying to move it out and seems pointless.

 

I also need to do some dusting in my room at some point, so many areas where dust can accumulate on my desk.

The lack of meaning in most of your posts just kind of annoys me sometimes.
