Using multiple large monitors effectively

Have multiple large monitors attached to your computer? Find yourself using the window snap feature on Windows OS, but find that it is too limited in the 2x2 options?

I found a great open source app called GridMove that I highly recommend.

GridMove allows you to build custom "grids" that have preset window dimensions, for example splitting your monitor into thirds, instead of just halves. A must-have especially for high resolution displays.

My favorite grid made by user Tyinsar is the TripleHead2Go grid, which has screen thirds and more. I modified his TH2G v2.grid to work with my two monitors.

Pastebin link to my adapted grid.

In order to use this grid, make a notepad doc, paste in the code from pastebin, and save the file into your GridMove\Grid directory with a .grid extension. The default directory is C:\Program Files (x86)\GridMove\Grids.

Edit: If you have three monitors, and your video card only supports two, I suggest using MonitorSwitcher to set up a hotkey to change your active monitors on the fly.

New Gmail emails not showing up in Inbox, only showing up in "All Mail"

If you're having this problem, check to see if new emails you are receiving are getting the "Inbox" label. If they are not, go into Settings -> "Filters and Blocked Addresses" and check them carefully. You may be skipping your Inbox!

Fixing garbage disposal

Our garbage disposal wouldn't start grinding when we flipped the switch. Instead all we heard was an electric hum. With a little searching found this: http://removeandreplace.com/2013/11/25/fix-humming-garbage-disposal-fast-easy-diy/

After a bit of forced rotation using an Allen wrench on the bottom of the unit, it started functioning properly again.

Abbreviation Fail

"White blood cells" has fewer syllables than "WBC," but I've heard people giving scientific lectures say "double-u bee cee." What a waste of breath and loss of clear communication.
