Da’s Entropy

I recently got a 24′ LCD monitor and one good thing about this large monitor is you can do things side-by-side. However, manually adjusting windows are not fun… After a bit googling, I am amazed to find that Compiz already had this kind of function implemented in the “Grid” plugin, where you can press a customized hotkey and then send a window to the left/right/top/bottom half of the screen, or upper/lower left/right corner of the screen. Very nice job! This is not the mostly showed feature of Compiz, comparing to those rotating cube stuff, but I think it is a lot more useful for me.

Update: for users who do not want Compiz on their X, an alternative is: QuickTile

p.s.   For Mac users, they can get TwoUp or SplitUp.
p.s.2 For Windows users, I believe Windows 7 has this built-in. I can feel that Windows 7 will be a great product, and I think the hand-writing math-input will be a killer feature for people in academia.
