So I have finally gotten one of my linux boxen at work to successfully use the dual head configuration with my video card (Nvidia Twinview nonsense for those that know that that is). So I have a three monitor station now. I'm using x2vnc to connecto my windows desktop for my leftmost monitor and using linux to drive the center and right monitor. So far this is working nicely. I just need need to do some finagling to get all two linux monitors to be the exact same size/brand/model so that the desktop is a bit more seamless. It works but its a bit disconcerting to drag a window from the center screen which is 1280x1024 to a smaller window that is 1024x768 on the right. Ideally 3 17" flat screens would be cool. I'll settle for a single 17" and 2 flanking 15" monitors for the moment. But I'm definitely on the hunt in our inventory and spare desks to see what we can finagle.

So now that I've gotten my desktop working the way I want it. Or at least faking it well enough to be happy, I'm addressing the lesser things such as a decent live journal client. I currently do my reading via RSS with Sage from within Firefox. But the True Unix Hacker in me belives that you should have separate applications to do separate tasks and have a nice way of tying them together. Sage does a bang up job at the moment but I'm looking for standalone RSS readers that run under linux. Or if there is some better app for reading Livejournals then that works too.

On the posting side of things, I've been using Logjam and it seem to mostly meet my needs. although I really want to be able to specify my own editor. I've been using "vi" for so long that to use a plain rtf text editor actually slows me down. And that just simply annoys me to no end. I've tried out Drivel which seems to be very close to Logjam. For some reason it feels better to me but I can't explain why. But for now my default is still Logjam.

Any suggestions out there in LJ land?
