And now, witness the power of this fully operational Treadmill Desk!

Commander, fire at will!

Walk. walk walk walk. Walk walk. Walk walk walk walk walk walk, walk walk walk.


Ok, so fear of the treadmill desk won't keep the local systems in line but I'm hoping it will help get me in shape.

Initial impressions:

I had to drop the resolution on my screens down to 1024x768. The higher res I typically use requires too much mouse precision at least for now.

Other than than it seems to work great. I'm posting this from the treadmill desk now and I don't seem to be making any more typos than normal.

I like to use two monitors so I have the CPU on the floor attached to a pair of A/B video switch boxes one for monitor A and one for monitor B. When I want to hop on the TD I just flip the switches and video is moved there (Yes, I am using four monitors). I also have two keyboards and two mouse attached. A wired USB set for my desk and a wireless set for the Treadmill. So to move from the desk to the treadmill all I have to do is flip the video. Easy!

I can't wait for Monday to see how far I can walk, and the reactions from my co-workers...


Ps: And I dropped the sensativity of the mouse down a couple of notches to help eliminate the jitters.
