[BART]

wow you werent kidding zbr. hahaha

[ZapBulletRider]

yeah, every pixel on my desktop background is represented by 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000. Just that little extra help for load times.

Nice desktop! Rob has been my #1 surfing influence since I started. I remember the first issue of Surfing (or Surfer?) that I bought, the cover had him in a maroon gotcha wetsuit surfing a cameraboard with Jimi Hendrix's face on it.

[Derek Makekau]

i get rid of my background when i do large projects...but it usually looks like this:

[Derek Makekau]

shit, maybe i should not be a kook and resize that.

[ZapBulletRider]

I fucking love that song, D.

Thank you. I haven't learned to surf yet, but for the past year or so have been following surfing and realizing how bad I need to learn. I really need a job so I can afford a used board. I love watching Machado surf. He is the man, there are no other men, just Rob.

[727bryon]

Dzan, you need a giant Z as your desktop to keep it fresh. Double posting, I am.

[Derek Makekau]

amusing lack of a Flash shortcut

it's in the quicklaunch...

your GUI is so pretty, dzan. like a woman.

[Chrith]

ZBR how many flac files do you have. must ake up a lot of memory if you dont store it on an external hard drive.

[ZapBulletRider]

Derek, I feel so foolish.


As you see guys, I lied about making it the MOST efficient XP can be. I have a soft spot for smooth fonts.
http://members.cox.net/whitmell/fonts.gif

[Derek Makekau]

you also have a full recycle bin.

tsk tsk.


really though, what is that mini menu dzan and beezy have?

[jake]

derek how the fuck would you know that?

[Derek Makekau]

i just meant there was stuff in it, jake. i did not mean to insinuate that i could in any way determine how much was in his recycle bin or what his limit is set at, by looking at an image.

[ZapBulletRider]

ZBR how many flac files do you have. must ake up a lot of memory if you dont store it on an external hard drive.

1,562 files = 71.8 GB = 76 soundboard phish shows

then w/ .shn, which are almost as big

1008 files = 40.1 GB = 48 audience recording phish shows

[ZapBulletRider]

i just meant there was stuff in it, jake. i did not mean to insinuate that i could in any way determine how much was in his recycle bin or what his limit is set at, by looking at an image.
however, he can.

Object Dock, with custom icons from Deviantart.com

[jake]

thats sick. downloading as we speak.

[Chrith]

damn ZBR. but it is all worth it. it sounds so good

[ZapBulletRider]

yeah, it's definately worth it. I have a really nice Phish library. Unfortunately I had to delete about 30 shows when I had to rearrange hard drives.

[DjMattyD]

ZBR you are a fruity looper.

[new guy]

full = not empty (fyi)

[ZapBulletRider]

full != not empty

exhibit A:
http://www.joburg.org.za/images/glass-water.jpg

[DjMattyD]

Some people say the glass is half full or half empty. I say the glass was designed 50% too big.

[ZapBulletRider]

I say water molecules were designed 50% too small.

[DjMattyD]

Good luck on redesigning water.

[Icej]

Some people have shit in the way of their desktop.

[mitchell p.]

i need a new computer.

http://xs201.xs.to/xs201/06225/desktop.JPG

[Derek Makekau]

haha....gotta love the firefox windows.

[Dzan]

I'd die if my desktop had that many icons on it. Especially that many redundant icons.

[didj prophet]

im usually not a fan of anything other then just a barebones desktop with the classic windows theme, similar to zbr's, but i do have to say, dzan's set up is a perfect blend of fashion and function, if i didnt desperately need every last bit of memory i have to do the simplest of tasks i too bad i need every last bit of memory i have to perform even the simplest of tasks

edit: jesus christ, i dont think ive ever seen that many icons on a desktop, it looks like half of those are just old install files, might want to toss some of those out and youd have room to put up a picture of a hot tranny as your background, since you're into that sort of thing........

(teehee, that was bait)

you take that back, i can't listen to more than 3 songs of jack johnson

[didj prophet]

yeah i was about to say, that is called a bubbler, or "burb," not a bong

im too lazy to post my desktop, but i have a foreverskim background too, its the empty french break with the big bunker looking thing on the beach, i cant handle having a picture of somone actually skimming on my background because i dont get to the beach nearly enough and it would kill me to look at someone skimming that much

[Logan]

kyle, i have the france FSM screen. i have a few more icons than most on here; most of which being skimnc and njskim videos....i should make a file.

djmattyd, the glass would have to be designed 100% too big. otherwise, it would be 2/3rds full or 1/3 empty. same sort of thing applies to you zbr.

http://i36.photobucket.com/albums/e15/lothepro/blarneystone.jpg
how do you make the image bigger? im not very good with the computer......:(

i made said file before i took the screen

[dkenn75]

[ZapBulletRider]

hahaha nice bong. and whit, there is nothing wrong with jack johnson. jack johnson is as good as phish


(teehee, that was bait)

and bait that will ALWAYS catch me. I would love to see Jack Johnson write an atonal fugue.

[727bryon]

I like Jack Johnson. I like Phish too, though I listen to more Jack Johnson.

[Pack A Bowl]

jack johnson only had one good song "burn one down".. everything else sucks balls by him.

[KrisStone]

What resolution are you running Walruz?

[Walruz996]

800 x 600 oohh yeah.....

[KrisStone]

do you have any reason or you just like it like that. When i played CS i ran a 800 x 600

[Walruz996]

I dunno, it just looks nicer on my monitor (old 15" bubble)

[didj prophet]

jack johnson only had one good song "burn one down".. everything else sucks balls by him.

you mean ben harper?

[Pack A Bowl]

yea actually my mistake, its ben harper who only has the one good song and jack johnson has none.

[Derek Makekau]

i was just going to correct you on that.

jack johnson has sick songs. bunches.

[Logan]

sooo....anyone help me out with getting a larger image of my desktop? hmm? been workin on it bout 3 years now? hmm?

[ZapBulletRider]

yeah I mean Jack Johnson's songs don't commit any major crimes against humanity, they're just kind of ... there.

[beezy]

sooo....anyone help me out with getting a larger image of my desktop? hmm? been workin on it bout 3 years now? hmm?

[Walruz996]

sooo....anyone help me out with getting a larger image of my desktop? hmm? been workin on it bout 3 years now? hmm?

I dont why you cant do it, just hit Print screen, then hit paste in paint or photoshop. Save the file, then go to imageshack.us and host it.

[ZapBulletRider]

has he really been working on it for 3 years?

jack johnson is a very multi-listening artist. no matter what im doing i can listen to him. whether im chilling out, getting pumped up, whatever, he's just good like that.

[Jeff.Liu]

you also have a full recycle bin.

tsk tsk.

at least he doesnt have over 300 gigs of anime sitting in it :mad:

ran out of dvd-rs

http://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y160/ThePoliticalThinker/Desktop.jpg

overclocked budget computer that im doing a article on

lemme see if i can dig up some pics of the mammoth i had couple months back

[didj prophet]

i see you have steam, im guessing that means you played half-life 2, was i the only one that was horribly dissapointed with the end of that game? it felt like they ended it half way through, half-life 3 is really going to be half-life 2.5

although the super-gravity gun may be the illest weapon that has ever been in a first person shooter

[Jeff.Liu]

holy opinion

ive never finished half life or half life 2

kinda got bored with the horrid storyline

[Walruz996]

the continuation to HL2 came out yesterday, its called HL@ episode one, you get the super gravity gun in like the second level its sick.

[KrisStone]

The object dock thing is sweet thanx for the refferal

[KrisStone]

http://i59.photobucket.com/albums/g293/skimfl925/desk.jpg


My desktop after remodel using the Object dock and ideas stated here

[Dzan]

There is an extension you can get for the dock that puts the start menu on the bar so you can access it from there.

[KrisStone]

explain? not understanding?

[Dzan]

http://www.wincustomize.com/ViewSkin.aspx?SID=1&SkinID=2373&LibID=29

Like the weather and clock docklet thing, you add this one and it makes an icon that when you hover over launches your start menu.

[KrisStone]

sweet

[ZapBulletRider]

Kris, that's what's up. Some minimalist desktop there, although I'm not a fan of objectdock. My bro installed it and I had to set him straight. I don't have a superfast comp so I have to conserve memory wherever possible for photoshop and audio/video stuff.

[unorthadox]

yeah i just love the sun and color of the wave in the pic. my all time favorite i think.

Yea dude i totally downloaded the movie have you seen it. And ZBR I dont have that fast of a comp but I use a separate one for video editing. This one is like 2.5 ghz and the other is like 2 ghz

[ZapBulletRider]

heh. yeah mine's 1.5 ghz, 512 ram.

[DJ-NJ]

http://img415.imageshack.us/img415/593/dddd2rz.png

a lot of old/useless icons, but i like everything right there. i made it blurry like that bc i felt like, not cause i suck at resizing.. haha
Dzan i really i lke your black taskbar/theme. share your secret.

[Jasen]

yours has more ram, ghz than mine, and i run dock fine...

[ZapBulletRider]

yours has more ram, ghz than mine, and i run dock fine...

I never said I had a problem running dock, just that it's a waste. I can get to my shit just fine as it is and I don't need another app using memory. I make it a point to keep as little as possible in my Run folder in the registry and to have as few services set to Automatic as possible. No reason to waste memory on shit you don't need.

[KrisStone]

How many processes do you run on average?

[ZapBulletRider]

on average? I have no idea, depends on what I'm doing and how long it's been since a restart. I also have a Shoutcast server, SQL 2000 server, Internet Information Services w/ FTP, a VNC server, an SSH server, and a BitTorrent server running, so the last thing I need is extraneous UI apps.

[nukka-cp]

jeff runnin is running gimp, sickk

yes yes that picture is kind of gross cause you know it had to be dirty when it came out
