Title: The Longest Overdue Post Your Desktop Here.
Post by: rtf on Mon 06/09/2004 19:27:24
Another crazy idea to show off organizational skills:

That's right.Ã,  Ã, Post a picture (or a link to a picture) of your desktop,Ã,  right now.Ã,  Don't clean it up, rename anything, or delete anything you don't want to be shown.  Just take a screenie right now. :D

Yeah it reminds me of that scene in "Full Metal Jacket" by Stanley Kubrick:

"You write 'Born To Kill' on your helmet AND wear a peace symbol button on your jacket? Is that supposed to be some kind of a sick joke?"

"Sir, no, Sir!! I was trying to say something about the duality of men, Sir! The Jungian thing, Sir!"

<uncomfortable silence from the superior officer>

"You better pull your self together, son, and help along until the final vicotry. AND you should remove the damn peace button!" :)

in my new computer i am going to put linux windows and finally dos

windows will only be so i can play some games
dos because i am scripting in qbasic(quickbasic) and so i can play some abandonware games like mi1 and 2, and so on

RCT3 is an awesome game, but the peeps at the RCT3 forums would beg to differ. (I'm not a member there, just a lurker)

Just something interesting I thought of. Anyone who feels like it, take a screenshot of your desktop (try to shrink the size down a tad to fit on the page).

I'm just curious as to what desktop icons everyone has, what backround and what OS.

I'll start with mine.

Clean your desk, or you can't have any icecream

You seem to have a shortcut for any program on your computer Ã,  :o Ã, Am I the only one who doesn't have shortcuts etc on my desktop (http://info-resources-pastime.com/scrsht.png)?? The only icons are: Bin, My Comp, My Doc and IE as hidden in the corners as possible...

I don't have any icons on my desktop except "My Computer" and the "Recycle Bin".

With Windows XP, you get around using those really easy by using the start bar and also less icons equals greater speed.

I download everything to my desktop so that I can easily find everything and after some time it starts to look like that. Only 4,7 GB worth of crap at the moment. I'll clean it when I have some spare time...

Nope, CP, you're not alone - I can't stand having a metric ass-ton of icons on my desktop, and I also go for the minimalist look with my images as well. This one (http://www.garlic.com/~rideout/spacepiratecaine/Desktop.jpg), from the comic Makuhari was on my desktop for a month or two, until the superhero comic competition, when I found my most recent (http://www.garlic.com/~rideout/spacepiratecaine/Desktop2.jpg). It dethroned Nara for a while, but he may return soon.

I don't have any icons on my desktop... I don't see the point, since any and all moving of files, copying, deleting, trashbinning, I do in explorer (the file manager). I don't feel comfortable with icons all over my desktop, it just looks bad.

Great movie... That's my second favorate Takashi Miike film, just behind Ichi.

And, ok, here is my desktop. I didn't post the image last time...

That is the current avatar for the game I'm working on. I decided to leave Winamp up, which is an older version. The newer versions may have a bunch of bells and whistles, but I find they tend to be slower and just not what I want in a player for mp3s. If I want it to play all that other crap, I'd just use my WinVideo or mplayer2, which work fine. I never understood this obsession with trying to combine everything into one package (usually at the detriment of what you got the program for in the first place). Sometimes it works, many times it doesn't. The system is also 1.6 ghz running win98 (I hate XP, biggest piece of excretement ever shoved down people's throats).

Here is the desktop for the crappy computer I do internetting currently.

Look at the screenshot I posted. In a couple of weeks I'll have reinstalled all of my favourite programs and my dock will have approximately 50 icons on it. That's what I use. No folders, no menus. Move my mouse down, start a program.

I never understood the efficiency of having to go back to my desktop to open up programs. I usually have about 6 programs open at any given time. Going back to the desktop to start another just seems... redundant.
