More Pictures

Here’s some pictures of the new rented house from the outside.  One of the neat things you can do now that we have a proper garage is things like this! :)

The new house is quite nice - I’m almost fully settled in now.  There’s more than enough space and the highway behind the house isn’t as load as I had expected.  And now that I have a backyard, I can dog sit my coworker’s adorable 6 month old Golden Retriever!

Pictures, pictures, everywhere!

I finally got my desktop up and running on my new house, which means I can finally take the pictures off my camera!

Here’s a very small set of pictures taken the morning after the birthday camping / bonfire, followed by pictures of my very first Softball game. Pictures of new house that I moved in to last weekend is here, and last but not least, pictures taken while I was in Penang!

For those planning out into the future, I’ll be in Korea with my brother during the American Thanksgiving. I think the exact dates are November 17th to 25th. It’ll be my first time in over 10 years, should be quite exciting!

24″ Soyo Topaz S on Linux

In case anyone else runs into X11 configuration issues with the Soyo Topaz S LCD Monitor ( Model MT-GW-DYLM24D6 ), using the following settings in the xorg.conf seems to make it display the 1920 x 1200 resolution correctly.

In “Monitor” Section:

Modeline “1920×1200@SOYO” 154 1920 1968 2000 2080 1200 1203 1209 1235 -HSync +Vsync

In “Screen” Section:

Add “1920×1200@SOYO” into the Modes

I guess I’ll let you know if this setting eventually results in a smoldering heap of burnt LCD parts in couple of weeks. :)

Surreal

I’m sitting here on a sofa in a half-packed living room reading Angela’s Ashes while listening to Mat banging some Elton John song on the piano at 2AM.  Moving day tomorrow!
