I'm shocked there was never a thread like this on geekhack (not from my searching anyway)

Everyone knows you have awesome keyboards, but is your desktop up to par ;)

this is my gentoo, i uploaded this photo a little bit ago to show someone what pink paludis looks like (of course the answer is awesome!)

Save the Sea Kittens!

It's Ubuntu 8.something.  I actually just use a blue gradient most of the time.

Oh yeah, that's KNewsTicker (running on Gnome) running a feed from Fark up there.  It's a very cool app because you can turn any RSS feed (or any assortment of them) into a news ticker.

Please tell me that's sarcastic. :p (Yes, I know the PETA campaign is real. Do I get to eat land fish?)

Oh, another Sea-Kitten hater, eh?

Yes, it's a joke.  It's just so ... perfectly ... awful, on so many levels.  Makes me wish I still worked in an office so I could inflict it on someone besides my wife.

Actually, some excellent desktop backgrounds can be found at http://mandolux.com/

Yea, dual monitors. I love winxp. Special "Zune theme" -- orange start button and charcoal taskbar (with appropriate scenic background pic that matches). I like it.




[come to think of it, when I dye my keys with RIT, I'm going to dye them charcoal with an orange escape key, to match the above :) ]

My primary monitor, in work mode, showing the tools that I tend to use a lot:

1) The terminal, showing a screened Vim session.
2) Cornerstone Subversion client which I mainly use to get pretty diffs of different versions. I use the command line svn client to do most of my interactions with the repository.
3) Firebug. Can't live without this one.

Secondary monitor is pretty boring. I've got the Ext JS API docs open there, and a terminal window tailing the apache error log for the site I'm working on.

I love Blade Runner. I watch it a couple of times of year. I usually rent it and now that I use Netflix its easy to get it delivered. The rip is redundant but its nice to have a local copy.

Someone having a folder for a downloaded rip on their desktop = mildly amusing. (Hide your pirated files before taking screenshots. ;)

I can't find the link right now, but I believe it was on a Dodge Neon forum... someone having a folder named "Shemale Pics" or something like that on their desktop = roflmao worthy. (And googling for it was useless, and will probably make people wonder about my google history. :eek: But, I didn't click anything, so... :p)

I didn't look at it like that, but I assure you, I do not have any shemale porn on my computer. Not that I have anything against shemale porn, its just not my thing. I will hide my stolen content in the future. Its not like I don't already own it, I just didn't have the final cut....

I didn't realize that when I posted. I cleaned it up. Feel bad for the guy with the shemale folder.. you could never live that down : )
Thankfully the folder pointing to my goatse collection wasn't on my desktop, now that would be embarrassing.

I do have a Mac OS box, too, but that thing just doesn't work well at all.

(And, I've tried installing Mac OS on this ThinkPad, and it went badly, both times I tried it.)

Yeah, looks like maybe West 40th or so looking East -- the Empire State Building (at 34th) is to the right.

According to interfacelift it's 9th avenue (maybe there was a joke and I didn't get it).

It appears to be somewhere around 9th and 45th, facing east.  

Sadly, the Google vans do not yet get access to the roofs of buildings for a higher vantage point.

I think you're right! Nice detective work ;)
So basically its looking roughly in the direction of the times square area (which would be a couple of long blocks east from there, prolly right behind the buildings in the pic).

Was it shot from the NYT building? I know its right in that area somewhere. I think its taller though. (And I dont see the exterior lattice work on it).

Lol, the Milton Plaza is straight ahead (yellow sign in middle of the original picture), and the Sheraton sign is on the left.  We should have read that originally, would have found the pic's location right away ;) Didnt even think to read the signs in the pic!

And the building with the big W on top is the W Hotel New York. Many hotels in that pic. Google Earth has a nice feature where you can click on the building and it tells you what it is.

No, that's the tall one to the left of the Empire State building.

The photo was taken from the smaller building that the red arrow points to.

Not anymore it's not.  The official apple update (10.5.5 combo) was supposedly safe (I didn't read the part that said i945 chipsets and higher... stupid i915 chipset :mad:)  Now I don't even make it to the apple logo.  It gets to the bsd root and kernel panics :(  I'm either gonna have to reinstall kalyway or I'm gonna go to linux as a main OS again and leave tiger on my G3...

I actually really liked the last iBook that i had (last gen 12").  The main reason I made the jump to a Macbook (at the time) was that I really wanted to run multiple VM's (so, I needed an Intel-based Mac).  These days, I'm a sucker for the latest/greatest...so I cycle through Mac hardware rather quickly.  (although, I'm going to try to stick with my unibody macbook for a while...only thing that would make me jump right now is a 13.3" Mac laptop capable of >4GB of ram)

I would be interested in building a Hackintosh (buying parts for maximum compatibility)...but as someone with only a passing interested in doing so, I find the information available very fragmented.  I haven't been obsessed enough to actually find out what I'd need.

I will buy a copy of OS X when they'll let me legitimately run it on my home-build Phenom II desktop.

The sooner as Apple figures out they're better as a software company than selling slightly decommodified PCs at astronomical markups, the better.

Meh. Apple has not ever been a software company, and will never be a software company while the Apple Spirit(tm) remains alive at that company. Apple make software exclusively and explicitly to sell more hardware, and when the software (OS) sales started damaging the Apple hardware sales, Apple withdrew the 3rd party licenses.

To wit: Apple didn't make iTunes for Windows until iPod production exceeded Macintosh user iPod demand. Once that market was saturated, then they made a Windows iTunes, to sell more iPods.

You'll be waiting a long time if you're waiting for Apple to sell MacOS licenses to non-Apple hardware.

EDIT: oh yeah, my desktop:

By the way, if you want a good OSx86 box on the cheap just pick up an Atom board by Intel. They cost around $80 but are 100% compatible without any hacks except for getting the video card to change to resolutions other than 1024x768. But you can always add a cheap PCI video card if you don't feel like figuring it out.


As for the desktop, I had to decrease the jpg quality so photobucket would allow the upload (full quality makes it >5MB).

I agree with this 100% have been saying it for years.
Its my 940 running at 3.8 (thanks BigwopHH)
Runs very stable and at the moment has a Scythe Mugen 2 on it.
I did have a Freezone elite but it was just a bit too noisy so my friend is using it to chill his quad Intel.

See why yours truly can do without fancy desktop backgrounds?

Some taskbar real estate is quite useful though:


However, I once made a version of an AKG K601 promo pic that blends in nicely with the Win2k default background color.

This one is displayed centered on the desktop of my retro dual rig (dubbed "geekbox").

Nah, George, I bet it's Checkpoint Charlie or somewhere else near the Berlin Wall.


Your second choice is close, where do you want me to send your mini? ha ha.  It is near Brandenburg gate where Kennedy made his speech.  I also have a shot of Checkpoint Charlie.  If you look close at the little shinny spot in the one window you can see a reflection from the snipers rifle.  I had a hard time getting the guards picture as they would duck behind the tower when I raised my camera.  So I just popped the top off my Nikon and let it hang by my waist and looked in the top of it, sure faked them out.

Check out this program:  "Vital Desktop".

Does anyone have a ViRtUal desktop program recommendation for Windows XP? On MacOS and Linux I typically run 4 desktops and switch between them. I've never seen a Windows virtual desktop program that worked smoothly for me.

Vital Desktop threw me for a moment.

Does anyone have a ViRtUal desktop program recommendation for Windows XP? On MacOS and Linux I typically run 4 desktops and switch between them. I've never seen a Windows virtual desktop program that worked smoothly for me.


I didn't run into any issues running the Virtual Desktop PowerToy from MS.  Its definately no-frills.

At one point I tried Yod'm 3D as well.  It adds a bunch of visual effects.  It did the standard spinning cube virtual desktop in Win 2k, XP and Vista.  Older versions were free.  I don't think there is a current free version with virtual desktop in it.

I use VirtuaWin. Been using it for a few months, no extra stuff, just simple hotkey or mouse navigation to different virtual desktops.

no cleaning up
this is just how it has to be
i was looking for a cleaner, smaller version of the wallpaper the other day but found it fine for the time being, better than the 100% black that ive been using for about a month.

Here's my desktop, nice and clean:



I hide all desktop items and don't keep anything in particular on my taskbar.  I use the vista startbar search to launch all my programs, keeps things much more organized looking and more space for awesome backgrounds like fractals and the like.  I also use global hotkeys as much as possible for hiding and showing, play/pause for winamp and stuff like that.  The gadget keeps track of cpu and ram usage as well as cpu temps, I keep it on top of all windows.  I hide everything in the notification area except for winamp.  

I like it clean as you can tell lol.

I've also found it to be faster to do it this way, things are more fluid for me.

I also use a program called dexpot for multiple desktops similar to linux.

My Windows desktop on my main PC. My Linux one is similar, except with the taskbar along the top of the screen -



For those who are interested, the picture is one I took myself. It's of one of the walls of U2's old studio in Dublin.

on my other partition, that's me exactly, but without tint2 (tried it) and no showing icons... id be posting just a wallpaper.  i wish there was such an interface for windows that is as customizable and well thought-out

too bad the current state of affairs with ati and composting though
free ati drivers = no 3d
proprietary ati drivers = compositing with awful performance with xcompmgr
compiz is too much crap for me and requires so much stuff

so i still dont really know what to do, it really sucks

and Rajagra... wow... is that actually productive?  i started looking for bonzi buddy, weatherbug, and the one where the stripper is on your taskbar.  i mean, the sheer number of icons in quick launch, is it 'quick' anymore?

If I take a picture of my big toe and use it as my desktop background, it is original art. But if I use this, it's a copy, and thus inferior?


I'd go for the toe picture. Honestly, that Van Gogh looks like it was painted by an eight-year-old.

Here's my Van Gogh's Big Toe desktop:

It's definitely snappier and takes less time to boot.  I don't really care if it's smaller or not.  It was certainly worth the upgrade from XP (and Vista at home).  I haven't had a single issue since installing it last week.  It's been fantastic.

I'm bumping this to say I've found a great practical joke.  So my wife is NOT happy with me that the icons moved around after I installed Win7 and my son,  well, he's a teenager so HE manages to piss me off sometimes.

So...
1.  Take a snapshot of the desktop
2.  Download a utility to save the desktop icon layout (not sure, maybe Win7 maybe has this finally!)
3.  Delete all the desktop icons
4.  Now use the snapshot of the original as WALLPAPER.
5.  Watch the fun as they click away.

Yes, you will go to hell for this.

I did that to myself by mistake on my phone after taking some screenshots. It is hilarious.
