Screening for Problems

Just a brief update on the monitor situation, it’s been some days now since I shared my viewpoint on quality and expectations of replacement equipment with AOC warranty repairs…

I’m not entirely sure my concerns have been heard, but it does appear that another monitor is now winging it’s way to me across the channel as today I received notification of my RMA (it’s a new number), and UPS (the shipping company) have now collected it from AOC.

I appreciate the sending of another replacement unit (I actually hope it’s my original unit but with a repaired HDMI port as I requested), but it would have been nice to have an actual acknowledgement of my concerns – let’s see what arrives….

It goes without saying that I will certainly be screening for problems when the unit arrives, and will continue to monitor the situation closely (ta-dum tish!).

Monitor the Situation

I like monitors – VDUs, screens, the ‘telly bit – call them what you will, they are useful things, they let you work with a computer and you can accomplish all sorts of things – edit your favourite photos, watch the latest blockbuster movie, or even play games… you can do that other stuff too, that other thing that pays the bills – ah yes, work!

Forced Resurrection

I was recently quite strongly reminded of the need to have a fully operational website or blog, and actually had to give some thought to where my last version resided and what it was called (it didn’t matter too much actually, as non of the previous incarnations were operational). However, in the process of migrating some of the old articles across (very useful to me for historic reasons), I realised it has been over 10 years since I last properly submitted something to the blog - but even more than that, what has changed in my life, technology, and the systems and services I now use in comparison to 10 years ago.
