My #@!$%#@# Monitor!

I have had my 19" Sony multiscan monitor for almost eight years. Throughout these eight years, my monitor has visited the following places:
  • Berkeley
  • Davis
  • Milpitas
  • Pleasanton
  • Cupertino
  • San Jose

Five minutes ago, my screen starting twitching up and down almost every 0.3 second. What the hell?? I guess it is time to buy a brand new monitor...

But wait a second - thanks to the one and only thing that I learned from college, I proceeded to turn off my monitor and turn it back on five seconds later. Viola! The twitching has gone away.

I am a genius.

Way to apply that Computer Science degree!!! Other useful knowledge from college on troubleshooting windows application issues: 1) analyze issue. 2) attempt to fix issue 3) if procedure 2 doesn't work FORMAT c: and reinstall windows. Works like a charm ;-)
