Searching for a Good LCD Monitor

Posted in by Kenneth Newquist on Mon, 11/20/2006 - 12:28pm

The next big home improvement project around the ol'thermonuclear burg will be rearranging our third floor office space, turning my wife's craft room into something a little more office like (and a little easier for her to work in) and converting our old "office" into the new gaming room.

As a result, I'm going to lose my current over-sized L-shaped desk and get my wife's smaller workspace (which is ok, since I don't often get to work on the third floor, thus one of the reasons for the conversion). But my PowerMac will still be upstairs, and the reduced deskspace means that my ancient CRT monitor's days are numbered.

Web Server on a Stick

Or at least, a thumb drive. WOS Portable allows you to setup a working web server on a flash drive. The 200 mb installation includes Apache 2.2.0, MySQL 5.0.18, PHP 4.4.2/PHP 5.1.2.2 and PhpMyAdmin 2.8.0.3.
