Today, I am finally getting around to a long-overdue project.

I’m fortunate that my job provides a pretty sweet #wfhlife setup with a #macbookpro and dual monitors.

But then, I already had a dual monitor setup in the studio. I’ve been trying all sorts of ways, for months, to make things work between my work and home computers, to just have one set of monitors and keyboard.

In case anyone is curious, KVM’s and Mac’s just do not play well together. I’ve tried multiple brands. HDMI, DisplayPort, DisplayLink, Thunderbolt hubs, direct connect…you name it, and I’ve had issues with it. I don’t know enough about #embeddedsoftware to dive in and troubleshoot why this is happening, but it’s frustrating.

Either way, I’m caving in and doing a big workspace overhaul. By the end of today it’ll be discrete sets of monitors for each computer. The cable management will be the most tedious part, but what else am I gonna do on a chilly, overcast Sunday?

Leaving TW comes w/heavy cost. As a self employed author, those 10.5K followers provided a revenue stream. That reach/audience is gone. I don’t have a day job. I don’t have a husband whose salary subsidizes my work. I also am sensitive to leveraging/monetizing this #fediverse. I’m a newbie who wishes to honor the community. But I also need to pay rent/eat. Open to suggestions. #fedihelp #authorChat #twexidus #twexit #TwitterMigrate #twitterMigration #wfh #writer #selfemployed #wfhLife
