He feeds the crows first thing. Rushing yesterday. Perhaps he still feels guilty for using the
hawk call to chase off the parrots for he also chased off the crows.
Rushing through the morning also meant getting him a new
monitor. The on and off switches on two
of his monitors have died. He does need
to see what he is doing at work, so, after great research, we headed out
inland. It was only mid-eighties
there. It was worse as we drove toward
home through the valley…in the nineties.
“We have to get you one,” he keeps saying this morning.
Graphics have always been a part of my life. The screen on my current monitor is 11 and ½ inches
tall x 15 ¾ wide…18 ¾ corner to
corner. His new monitor is straight up
and down is 13 ¼ x 23 and ½. Diagonally
is 27. It’s that width that grabs this
graphic artist as a problem.
Most sites are still designed for the smaller
screens. Most folks can only replace
their 11x15 screens by the wide versions.
With the great Geezer on the other side of the desk bound and determined
to whip me into a 21st century monitor, I need to begin broadening
my design thinking. Not all of you are
wide screen yet, so this is going to offer a problem. If I enlarge the content, what can you
see? If I broaden the banner, can you
see it? Do any of you have the larger
monitors yet? Oh, endless….
I have a 27 inch monitor and have no problems viewing other blogs.
ReplyDeleteDavid saw Still Alice and enjoyed it.
Yep, screen size of 13.25" x 23.5" is really nice. And is was on sale for $179.99.
ReplyDeleteOh you kids. Yes, I can see the wider photo. Very nice touch of humor too. I'm laughing at the kids rowing in circles. I could put a new monitor in my study upstairs, but will I use it? That's the question. I miss touch typing, however. And all I do now is point and click.
ReplyDeleteI have wide format on my laptop and at work. Absolutely love it!
ReplyDeleteI think it's best to have fixed-width pages for the internet. People don't tend to track as well if the lines get too long.
