Old DumpsterTech

We now have our official site, up and running over at www.dumpstertech.net

Due to Scheduling Conflicts and Randy leaving for the Army. There will not be a DumpsterTech this week. We hope to be back soon and we are looking forward to working with our two new latest additions to the DumpsterTech team; Kris Norberg and Tom Keely.

Thanks for listening.

Alot of time I'm critized for not talking about software... And cheap/free software. So here is a post just for that!!! While at heart, I'm a big gadget nerd, but where would we all be with out software... and our wallets would be alot happier if it was free software to boot.

Podcaster Tom Meritt (Buzz Out Loud) does a weekly top 5 video for CNET. And this week his top 5 was all about the free Software. Great picks. I use 3/5 of the stuff listed.



Also a great website to check out for cheaper or free alternatives to main stream software is the site http://alternativeto.net I use them every now and again to find solutions on the cheap. Check em out!

Show Notes:

Check out the latest Article by monitor reviewer Eric Franklin over at Cnet. Features a nice in depth comparison chart, as well as video reviews. He's usually a pretty enjoyable reviewer as well.

I own 2 of these monitors... and I'm so jealous of this price.... $189.99 for a 24" that does 1920x1200!!! Click Pic for Link or go here:

This is a must!!! Monitor also has HDMI and VGA, as well as DVI....  Deal ends tonight!

At the last dumpstertech podcast Randy noticed the little desk modification I made recently. I bought this $10 ikea cable management rack. It's pretty neat and really helps, plus it even can hold a power strip in it. You will need a power drill however.  I actually originally saw this on a few desks in Lifehacker's Featured Workspaces.  But Ikea actually offers several cable management solutions here.

So take a look and enjoy.
