All moved in.

I am finally back at Humber Residence for another 8 months. Go to Humber at around 11-ish, went inside to get my room number, keys etc etc. Afterwards I went to the truck and started unloading my stuff into my new room. It took most of the day to unpack and set up my computer. It was delayed even further when I realized I left my screwdrivers and screws needed to remount my LCD monitors back onto its stand.

After all was done the day ended. Been bored in residence ever since. Walking around doing nothing, staying in my room listening to music, watching some shows. I went to Rogers to order the Hi-Speed Extreme Internet service to use during the school year since reznet is slow and is actively blocking torrents. That won’t come until Thursday, until then I am stuck using reznet on 1 machine.

This year I get to live in the bigger rooms, the suite style room. 2 bedrooms sharing 1 kitchenette and washroom. Better than last year, sharing a common washroom with everyone on the floor and no kitchen of any sort. My roommate is a friend I met last year who lived on the same hallway as I did.

I might post a picture of my room if I decide to take pictures of it.. lol

Until I get Rogers internet. I can’t log into AIM or Skype since apparently only MSN seems to be working.

Almost that time once again…

It’s almost time again to go back to school and for some odd reason I am actually looking forward to going back… :o

I move back into residence on the 24th of this month and will find out who my roommate is and what room number I have. But hopefully if my request is granted I should know who my roommate will be this year. I will be living in T building, suite style room with 2 rooms sharing 1 semi-private bathroom instead of S or R building where its dorm style room sharing 3 common washrooms.

My timetable for semester 3 is interesting to say the least with my least favorite day being Monday.

August Update

I now have a total of 3 22″ LCD Monitors. It originally started with a Sceptre 22″ then I got a BenQ 22″, now I have purchased a LG 22″ with a pivot and height adjustable stand. I have also gotten rid of the default monitor stand for the Sceptre monitor and replaced it with a monitor stand my dad brought home from work a few years back and it is now connected to my MacBook Pro in vertical mode. The LG and BenQ 22″ are the main displays of my main tower.

Also, I have replaced the Logitech MX3200 cordless keyboard combo with a Logitech diNovo EDGE bluetooth wireless keyboard and continuing to use my G9 wired mouse as my main mouse. So far this Logitech EDGE keyboard feels great and looks really cool! And its rechargable! :D

An updated screenshot of my Workstation as of today.

This of course is all about to change in 2 weeks since I move back into Humber residence on August 24th and all that is probably coming with me to residence. HAHA

and a Picture of my new keyboard

The only downside I can see right now with this keyboard is the fact it lacks a number pad, however it includes a cool circular trackpad which acts as a monitor so I can actually use this as a remote to control the computer from my bed. :) and I’ve gotten used to using laptops so I can live without a number pad.

I would post my current desktop screenshots of both the MacBook Pro and my desktop, however they go on a rotating wallpaper so the wallpaper changes every 5 minutes. hehe but my Main desktop has ObjectDock installed as well as DisplayFusion Pro which I actually paid 10 dollars for, so far the application is working pretty great. Going to play around with the hotkey features sometime next week when I no longer have to wake up early for work. :p
