Although I have been in computer technology all my working life, my academic background is actually in pure science, having studied physics and biology to 'A' level and chemistry to degree level. I basically made the switch because I was not too keen on the practical work in chemistry, but looking back with hindsight, it proved a good decision as I am sure that I have enjoyed a better career path as a result. Having said all that however, as I am now entering into my retirement years, my love of pure science has started to see something of a revival. (more…)
Custom Monitor Stand

I was recently given a 29 inch monitor, which I thought would make a good replacement for my 24 inch monitor. The only problem was that the amount of verical space available was limited as there are overhead wall cupboards above my desk. The monitor on its native stand would not fit.
Fortunately it is quite easy to build a custom stand. Most monitors have four bolt holes in the back for attachment to a wall mounting bracket. These are arranged in a square, spaced by an exact amount - typically 100mm though in this case it was 75mm. They take a standard size bolt, which generally seems to be M4, but you would need to check to make sure.
