Stuff and things

- The Lost Room is awesome, watch it.
- More exciting TV on its way: New seasons of Supernatural, Lost, Life on Mars and all new Heroes
- Innocent Smoothies taste nice but are far too thick to actually drink undiluted. Very good for adding to plain yoghurt, though.
- I'm thoroughly enjoying reading Going Postal atm. After not being able to finish the last one, I had almost given up on Pratchett but this one is good. I guess I'll pick up Thud! when my to read pile has shrunk a bit more.
- I upgraded my AVG licence to include firewall, spyware protection and other toodahs and it already found loads of bits. Ick.
- Due to work being stupid and me still being tired, I haven't worked on photos for ages :o( This will hopefully change next week
- New veg delights tonight, no idea what to cook yet, though
- Mobster freeform and charity Poker tournament on Saturday, yay! Good thing the freeform is in the afternoon as finding the place is easier in daylight...
- Sunday will hopefully be a little more productive than the last few. I will need to do the poker photos, get my place in order, cook and really work on my Antarctica backlog.

[Geeks] System upgrade

In the next few months, I'm in the market for a new monitor. My 15" CRT still works but I really want something bigger. As a 19" CRT won't fit onto my desk, I'm looking for a flat panel.

This one seems to have the specs I want and need and is well within my budget. Reviews are excellent, too.
Going up a notch in size and res (to 1600x1200), this looks awesome and has the reviews (incl. one from a photog) to prove it.
Thoughts?

As currently I'm only using the in-built graphics of my motherboard, I also want a graphics card with DVI output that supports the maximum resolution of the monitor. I only need the res, I don't need any beefy graphics power as I won't do 3D and no high-end gaming. Suggestions?

Thanks in advance for any hints.
