Desktop Screenies

[dr-spangle]

We know we love them really


I'll start with mine:
http://www.new-empire.com/josh/desktop.png


it's packed, it used to have a background till a faulty game changed the resolution and killed it...

[Neike Taika-Tessaro]

It screams, "Clean me up already", especially to the left.

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx.txt, _____2.txt, _____.txt and todo.txt are all random accumulations in text files of things I deem important. So important that I never really look at them anymore.

And since it's probably the only thing that will raise eyebrows, "Transexual Empire" is the name of a myspace friend - sorry to burst anyone's bubble. He has the habit of deleting his myspace profiles every once in a while, which would make all his messages to me spontaneously combust, so I save all of them into a folder.

Hm. I think I'm going to clean up now.

Anyway, I actually had a different background image - a NASA colour-corrected image of Saturn - but it just didn't make a good background image, if you know what I mean. Awesome picture, just not fit to excite the eye even with icons scattered across it.

I'd put one up, but I have no server space to put it on..heh

[Neike Taika-Tessaro]

You don't need server space. Try this.

[dr-spangle]

Very clever

I would do that, but this desk is so unstable, the photons would make it colapse...

[Erik Mortis]

Yes.. but.. behold... DUCKIES!

[andelarion]

Mine's boring, but it still rocks - everything's in Swedish :-P

And! I got widescreen! Hah!

[dr-spangle]

where do you buy such ducks? i've always wondered in stuff like duck races where they get some 500 rubber ducks...

[Bayen]

Bringing this back...

*shudders* Agh... so... much... WINDOWS!

Simple Linux (KDE) power:

[Ari Rahikkala]

Bah, Bayen, you made me think spangle was actually posting in Shireroth (I've been trying to... convince him...)

Anyway, my currently populated virtual desktops:

http://omploader.org/vOTRw/screen-1.png - not doing anything productive, so not running emacs (which usually goes here)
http://omploader.org/vOTRx/screen-2.png - checking up on posts, less on email
http://omploader.org/vOTRy/screen-3.png - I managed to kick Dwarf Fortress for now, but I'm still on their IRC channel
http://omploader.org/vOTRz/screen-4.png - checking IRC logs for a post in Straylight
http://omploader.org/vOTR0/screen-5.png - been holding out on updates for way too long
http://omploader.org/vOTR1/screen-6.png - don't have much christmasy music, but what I have is of excellent quality
http://omploader.org/vOTR2/background.png - my desktop background (this is what I see when I log in and type startx)

23:14 <@ICEBREAKER> ARI'S BUSY LOLLING AT YOU
23:14 <@D000242> SHIT! THAT GUY!
23:14 <@D000242> WHY?!
23:14 <@ICEBREAKER> HE HAS LIKE 16 DESKTOPS OR FUCK KNOWS
23:15 <@D000242> 16 DESKTOPS FULL OF BLACK CONSOLE WINDOWS
23:15 <@D000242> IF THERES A HELL, MUST BE CLOSE TO THAT
23:15 <@ICEBREAKER> WATCHING HIM AT HIS COMPUTER IS LIKE WATCHING THE STEREOTYPICAL HOLLYWOOD MOVIE HACKER
23:15 <@D000242> HAHAHA
23:15 <@ICEBREAKER> THERE'S A FLURRY OF KEYS AND DIFFERENT THINGS HAPPEN
23:15 <@D000242> ARI NEEDS MULTIPLE MONITORS
23:15 <@ICEBREAKER> TOTALLY
23:15 <@D000242> FOR A GREATER HAX EFFECT

[Bayen]

NICE!

I'm kind of new to Linux, so I really don't know how to do much with the command line... (yeah, move around files, start up an application, set environment variables - but that's about it! o.O)

But yes, virtual desktop power! Right now I only have up a 4-tab Firefox, but that's just because I only now turned on my computer. Once I get some chat going, perhaps some Python programming (or if I must, Java ), emails, feeds, music (last.fm!! legal music for cheap people!), and if I had any, homework...

Linux = ADD's best friend ^-^ (or worst, depending on how you see it....)

Yeah, boring. That's what makes it the win. But you wouldn't believe how hard it is to find a good picture of that big Jesus statue in Brazil.

Most exciting thing going on there is the hilarious renaming of Mozilla Firefox. I LOL'D!

Hey, just realised I'm working on 800x600... woot.

[Prodigy Almighty]

Pimpzilla FirePimp... very nice.

[benkern]

It certainly is big pimping. Add a bit of bling to your web browser today...

[Neike Taika-Tessaro]

This is my current desktop background. I think it's one of the most awesome photos ever taken.

[Maksym Hadjimehmetov]

Linux? Delicious, whoever that was. I'm a great fan of Tux.
Sadly, I don't know where i found the picture i use for my desktop background.

I could just take an actual picture of the top of my desk, but that would be as bad as responding '1024 x 768' when someone asks me what my New Year's Resolution is

[hypatias mom]

Nieke--That's an absolutely amazing photo of that moth! I haven't ever seen its equal. Oh, btw, Merry Christmas!

[Bayen]

I love it! Definitely saying that next time someone asks me...

[Neike Taika-Tessaro]

See? My thoughts, exactly!

Oh, btw, Merry Christmas!

And to you, too, in hopes that you read this before it becomes a pointless gesture. ^_^

Notice how I don't like IE?

Oops... Firefox there is supposed to say "Burning Mammal"...

And yes Bayen, that's the MCM magic Status and Library.

[hypatias mom]

Nieke--Yes, I received your kind wishes at 10:10 PM, so it was in plenty of time to still be timely.

Prodigy--great wallpaper for your computer!

Woo!
