Pint Tracker Monitor Updates
Tonight my USB extension cables came from MonoPrice. I was a little skeptical if they would work or not. If you did not know USB has a 16 foot range. If I wanted to mount a monitor by the tap I had to find a way to get way more than 16 feet away from my Mac Mini. The MonoPrice 33′ active USB cable had really good reviews so I ordered three of them. At a price of $10.20 each it is a steal. These could cost you $50 each at a place like Best Buy. But you can’t even find them any place. These are a monoprice brand not a third part brand.

There was a waiting list for them a few weeks ago so I signed up for their email notification. They sent me an email last week and I ordered three of them withing 30 minutes of getting the email. A few hours more and they were totally sold out. I will get into the setup in a few days when I get everything mounted correctly. Until then you will have to setting for a few iPhone photos.



I have to redesign the Pint Tracker UI now that I have this sweet little monitor. The new version will take up the entire screen unlike the photos above.

- monitor setting - [...] ... At least, on my MBP, that turns off the monitor and keyboard lights. Think different? ...Pint Tracker Monitor ...

That’s an amazing setup you have there. It really shows how much forethought you put into it. Beautiful system! I bow before your mad skills…
…for whatever reason I’m really jonesing for a beer right about now. Go figure.
