Dontcha wish your development environment was hot like mine

Posted on July 29th, 2008 in Uncategorized by Jon Kruger

Recently I lost several team members from my team. As a result, suddenly there is all this top-of-the-line hardware lying around. Of course, I can’t let good hardware sit there and rot! So now I have the developer’s dream environment.

hot

You are looking at my quad-core, 64-bit, dual-boot system with 4 20″ flat panels and 8 GB of RAM. Synergy let’s me use one mouse and one keyboard to control both machines. Now that’s hot!!

    I hate you…I’ve moved on to a 17″ CRT, it’s effin’ heaven. For dual screens I boot up my laptop and set it beside the other monitor just to feel like I have two screens.

    @Tim,

    If I ever end up in an environment like that I might have to bite the bullet and go buy my own flat panels.

    That is hot!! The added bonus is that all your screens are portrait layout. Synergy is definitely awesome.
