Day 73 – The Day of Too Much Technology

OK, I am about to call uncle on my technology situation!  I have to figure out the ultimate solution with minimal equipment :)

Problems I need to solve:

  • I have 3 monitors.  Two 27″ and one 24″.  I want to be able switch easily which computer is being displayed on the “main” monitor.  I have a Mac Mini, Macbook, and a PC.
  • I have 1 set of speakers.  I want to be able to switch easily between which computer is playing through the speakers.  The problem really is that I am unsure I want no sound out of the others, but I do want to pick which uses the “good” speakers.
  • I have 3 keyboards and 3 mice.  I want to be able to somehow store the ones I am not using easily.  The struggle there is that I will usually play videos on the other 27″ monitor while I work on the main one.  So I will need some minor access to the keyboard and mouse for that computer.

I know that one thing that will help is if I could get off my booty and get my desk done.  I could probably spend 2 weekends on it and just be done.  I don’t know what my problem is, I think it is that this is the hard part.  I did all the easy stuff and now it either makes it or breaks it.

I have a couple things to do in my room, so many things to go through and so much stuff to donate or throw away.  Oh and I almost forgot – need to get one more thing moved so I can get the treadmill down :)  I have to start that next week.

I just finished eating some food and am still doing all the laundry.  I have the dog sheet washed, it is drying and then all the bed sheets still to go.  I am unsure how much longer I actually have.  I am sure that the cover will need to be washed on it’s own, but I might be able to get away with washing that tomorrow.  Now to enjoy some ice cream :)

I have this problem where I do things impulsively.  I am going to make a real plan on solving my final bedroom changes.  I am also going to make a plan that will start in April for being back on a cleaner eating plan / lifestyle.  That will mean goodbye to ice cream and candy and soda and all the good things :)  I am going to commit to clean eating for a year – that is my goal.  Theoretically if I make it a year it will be a lifestyle change.  I am going to wrap it up now so that I can finish cleaning up to lower the treadmill.

BYE :)
