24-inch Widescreen Monitor
Posted by zdravko on 28 Dec 2009 | Tagged as: Tech
Just loved the HP Compaq LA2405wg 24-inch Widescreen LCD Monitor. Its specs are quite good with 1920×1200 resolution and DVI-D with HDCP support. It also has new DisplayPort interface (just in case I got a Mac notebook). I am looking for a new monitor recently and think this is a good replacement for my current HP 2045w one wich is just 1680×1050 resolution and lacks the HDCP support. With price at 240€ it is a good choice for everyone, I think.
Testing Google’s Public DNS
Posted by zdravko on 08 Dec 2009 | Tagged as: Tech
Announced on Dec 3rd, just a week ago, Google Public DNS service is still in testing/beta phase, so no SLA is available, but I’ve decided to give it a try. Google Public DNS uses Anycast to connect you to the closest DNS server, which in my case happens to be at ~42 msec away. Which is better than OpenDNS one at ~55 msec, but worse than Level 3 DNS 4.2.2.2 at ~36 msec. Right now I am using both Google Public DNS servers 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4 as forwarders to see if any change in end-user experience would be noticeble. Will see.
