Post by: Lemika on July 15, 2004, 07:25:32 PM: Neat desktop!

Weirdly, I was just thinking of starting this thread up again, so I just took a screenshot of my desktop.
This is it. (http://www.familylees.net/~morgan/squeegeescreen.gif)

Except the icons aren't usually all highlighted, of course, but I thought it looked better that way :P

Post by: G3K on July 15, 2004, 09:08:02 PM: Since my desktop is boring, I decided to add a couple of captions. Here. (http://www.ldine91.freeserve.co.uk/misc/desktop.JPG)

Lem'ka> I couldn't access yours :???:

Andi> Nice wallpaper... I could have actually had a t-shirt with a similar design, but I was skint at the time :/

Post by: Lemika on July 16, 2004, 01:45:08 PM: It works just fine for me. :???:

Interesting captions, those.

Post by: Lemeri on July 16, 2004, 05:05:34 PM: It works for me...

My free image hosting is down, so I can't put mine... &#A0;>:(

EDIT:
I hosted it on my own, so here it is...

Title: Re: Your Desktop
Post by: G3K on July 24, 2004, 11:08:20 PM: L'K> I think he meant it was his wallpaper.

Looking a lot cooler these days. (http://www.ldine91.freeserve.co.uk/misc/Desktop.JPG) There's a bit of a story behind the wallpaper which I'll explain in due course.

Post by: Timballisto on July 25, 2004, 01:02:39 AM: Heh...I have a desktop to show y'all, I just need to get it off of my dad's computer. I drew it myself, and in my opinion, it looks... B)

Title: Re: Your Desktop
Post by: Lemika on August 10, 2004, 07:05:20 PM: Yeah, welcome :D

I changed the desktop in my gaming profile (http://jupiter.walagata.com/w/eyetyrant/prof2bak.gif). Why? Because the color scheme of the other one rendered it impossible to type sometimes O_O
Title: Re: Your Desktop
Post by: Mr. K on August 10, 2004, 07:23:27 PM: I just made some new wallpaper and slapped it on with a matching Windowblinds skin.

EDIT: Whoops! Made it a link, it won't show up in the page now.

Post by: Timballisto on August 20, 2004, 03:28:43 AM: Hey, wait a sec.... Lem'ka, why does your Populous icon look like a yellow bow tie? :-/
Title: Re: Your Desktop
Post by: Liebatron on August 20, 2004, 03:31:02 AM: i had no idea how to get a new desktop i just sorta clicked on things and the end result was a yoshi desktop.

Hey, wait a sec.... Lem'ka, why does your Populous icon look like a yellow bow tie? :-/

That's the icon for the new matchmaker client the Gabber cooked up when the normal lobby went down. I don't know exactly why that symbol was chosen, but it wasn't me who chose it :D
Title: Re: Your Desktop
Post by: Lemeri on August 20, 2004, 02:25:01 PM: I thinks it's supposed to be a radioactive symbol.

Post by: Lemeri on August 22, 2004, 02:55:27 PM: Not too bad. What is it supposed to be? A mushroom?
Title: Re: Your Desktop
Post by: Andi on August 22, 2004, 03:22:07 PM: Mushrooms... MUSHROOMS! These specific MUSHROOMS! ;P
Title: Re: Your Desktop
Post by: G3K on August 22, 2004, 04:08:26 PM: Yep, they're 'shrooms alright.
Title: Re: Your Desktop
Post by: Lemeri on August 23, 2004, 02:57:43 AM: There's some kind of story behind this, right?
Title: Re: Your Desktop
Post by: Lemika on September 26, 2004, 11:50:27 PM: I dredge this topic from the grave to rejuvinate it with inhuman sacrifice.

My new desktop. (http://www.familylees.net/~morgan/revshot.gif)

I felt I needed a change. I'd had my previous one up for... a whole month O_O

Post by: Andi on September 27, 2004, 03:02:07 PM: Very clean, G3K. ;P

L'K, you play Neverwinter Nights? (or was it Knights? Damn, I forgot ^^;) Anyway, it's an MMORPG, isn't it?
Title: Re: Your Desktop
Post by: Lemika on September 27, 2004, 05:52:28 PM: You were right. It's Nights. And yes, I do. I just started, really -- and all I've done so far is the single player. You can play it single player as well.

Post by: G3K on September 28, 2004, 11:44:44 PM: Yey for laptops. (http://www.ldine91.freeserve.co.uk/misc/Desk2.JPG)

For the uninitiated, my mum recently got a laptop for her college work, which when she's not using is quite thoroughly mine. ;)

Nice system, Pentium M 1.7GHz with a gigabyte of RAM, ATi Radeon graphics and wireless networking capabilities... now I should be able to play UT from even the most remote farm (assuming it's a wireless-enabled farm, of course) :D

Post by: ?QuErY? on April 04, 2005, 05:27:08 PM: AAAHHH!!!! That's so sweet! Normally, it's pretty hard to get me to say something like that. There's just something about small rodents which makes me crack up... By the way, is that rat yours?

Post by: Timballisto on April 06, 2005, 09:41:49 AM: I don't quite get it, but, here is what I think of XP's stupidity,

XP "MWAHAHA! &#A0;FOOLS! &#A0;I WILL HAVE MY REVENGE! &#A0;MORE MEMORY!!!!"

GENERAL PEPPER "Star Fox, we have an emergency! &#A0;XP is alive...and he's launched an attack against Corneria! &#A0;Enemy forces have sortied from XP's motherships and carriers are heading towards Corneria. &#A0;They've also built bases on several planets, and are firing IPBMs at Corneria. &#A0;Your help is crucial! &#A0;Corneria can take some hits, but with excessive damage, we will fall! &#A0;Protect Corneria, and wipe out XP's army! &#A0;We're counting on you, Star Fox!
Title: Re: Your Desktop
Post by: G3K on April 06, 2005, 01:11:19 PM: Close, it's comparing Windows 95 and Windows XP's memory needs.

<3 Crazy Japanese people with too much free time
Title: Re: Your Desktop
Post by: Timballisto on April 06, 2005, 07:22:55 PM: Yep, XP stinks. Why?...who knows. What's with the "bam" coming out of the bowl of...rice memory XD ?

Oh, and guess what game the above dialogue is from. :devil:

(replace all XP's with Andross, and take out the top line entirely).
Title: Re: Your Desktop
Post by: Conway on April 06, 2005, 09:03:09 PM: I don't really see what the complaint is against XP, except it can't run LemEdit properly. But it's silly comparing its memory requirements to that of 95, because all PCs being released now with XP have at least 256MB of ram. But back in the days of Windows 95 and 98 they didn't have really complex programs or operating systems that require more than 64MB. So it's okay making progressively more complex software, as long as equivalently powerful hardware is available to accommodate it.
Title: Re: Your Desktop
Post by: Andi on April 07, 2005, 05:24:50 PM: But it would have been possible to make winXP needing less Megs of RAM.

Windows 95 was made to run on a 386 at 4 MB RAM.
Title: Re: Your Desktop
Post by: Timballisto on April 07, 2005, 07:10:11 PM: They sell gig ram sticks now, don't they?
Title: Re: Your Desktop
Post by: Conway on April 07, 2005, 07:52:34 PM: Yeah, and the next version of Windows will probably need them!
