Little things…

Little things yes, so many little things can make you happy but right now, it’s a big thing What I’m talking about? My new Samsung SyncMaster 305T screen. Specs:

• Size: 69 cm x 28 cm x 50.2 cm
• Diagonal: 30″
• Weight: 12Kg
• Color: black
• Dott pitch / pixel pitch: 0.25mm
• Max. resolution: 2560 x 1600
• Aspect ratio: 16:10
• Contrast: 1000:1
• Response time: 6ms

The insane thing is that when you combine it with Spaces you can get zomg much workingspace, which turned out very useful today when I wanted a clutter-free desktop to do some Aperture amazingness on our Disneyland Resort Paris new-year holiday pictures.

My desktop now looks like this:

Yes I know the picture is horrible, grainy, badly lit and so on, that’s what you get from a 3 year old cellphone and yes the bottle of sprite is an essential part of my new desktop.

Anyhow, as you can imagine, it’s pretty awesome especially when watching movies like we did yesterday (Ratatouille in this case).

How you afford such a thing as a student? After 2.2 years of saving every month the leftovers… Yeah it’s painful but in the end, it’s definitely worth it…
