This is really the view when you get off the train at the habor. It would be better to just cut them down.

Fedora 15 - monitor rotation - Dell m4500Category: linux
This is so great. I haven't had a one horizontally rotated monitor with one vertically rotated monitor setup since I left the mac platform, more than a year ago. The problem was I was always using the stupid closed source nvidia drivers because the open source nouveau drivers were not ready.
Apparently there is some complicated way of trying to get this to work ith the nvidia drivers andd xinerama but it never worked for me.
Well, this has all changed since fedora 15. All of the hardware acceleration I need is in the nourveau drivers. It runs the desktop great.
Monitor suport is so easy with these drivers. Simply plug the monitor in and it works - no configuration necessary. If you want to rotate one monitor, open system-settings->displays and select the rotation desired.
It works great and you can touch either monitor's top left corner to bring up activities mode in Gnome 3. I still prefer the hot key. Its amazing how efficient my computer usage is with Gnome 3. At first it was so different. Now I hate it when I find myself on a computer with anything else.
Sure these drivers get a few less fps than the closed drivers but nothing is noticeable as I am not playing games and the convenience of not having to deal with the nvidia drivers is amazing.
UPDATE: Not only is this so totally easy. It also remembers the settings when you log back in and reconect the monitor without even having to visit display preferences.

I wish there were not so many problems with doing simple everyday things on linux like hooking up a second monitor and getting the fonts to behave.

I am not on ubuntu anymore. I am on Debian based Crunchbang. Unfortunately whenever I try and hook my second monitor up to my linux box the font on my monitor is so blurry and induces a headache. And I am running the official ATI linux driver. So I have just given up and resigned myself to just using my big monitor with my windows laptop.

Nouveau is also the default driver for ubuntu I believe. Not sure, you can find more info here :::link:::

NKOTBSBCategory: music
When going through my phone gallery I realized that I had not posted any of the convert pics from NKOTBSB due to extenuating circumstances at the time.
The concert was so crazy. I love how they pretend you can't bring cameras in but every single person had a camera phone with them. Granted some of them don't take the best pics but still an 8mb phone cam is pretty good. Sadly mine is only 5 and there lens is shattered a bit.

I think that unless you are a pro with like a big or really big lens or up right close it often turns into a light show.... Nothing wrong with that... There are people on this sight who it would be interesting to hear from like (QCRG) Dragonlady (forget what number), (E:heidi), (e:matthew) , and (e:TheSouthernYan)kkee well you know who I mean. I think what happens is that the camera focus is on the light and how much of it there is so you get that... That is why a bright light of say an exit sign makes everything dark. But I think if you are close a strong flash counteracts that light the people who are way better then I am can get pictures where the person is clear and you can tell they are under lights.... I will be having fun taking pictures hopefully up close at the Burlesque tonight and maybe they will come out ok we shall see......
