Bah, we just did this.

Oh well, gives me an excuse to make up a new background. As much as I like the cast of Firefly, I'm going to have to go with the burning church this time.

Cutting pictures out of their background and fixing them got a lot easier with the Wacom tablet, and now I have even one background image in reserve, waiting. But this is it right now:

Heh heh. Well, I suppose I just like girls better than wornout old men...

I don't actually have Illustrator. Just Photoshop. I have heard a lot of good things about Illustrator (and bad as well), but I'm not really any artist, so I haven't decided to find out what's it all about.

Well, technically, it doesn't open Oblivion. However, that didn't stop a bunch of people on OTHER sites from asking similar questions... The resulting confusion (which was aided by my "high status" among the Elder Scrolls community) was quite fun to watch indeed! :D

In all reality, it's just a shortcut to the extensive store of data I've collected on the game. It's not even accurate; note that it's a daedric/roman numeral 4, rather than a daedric "O" as it should be.

Psh, I like men who create awesome plots. He definately does so. After all, he's the reason her gengai (Sp?) doesn't work correctly. Oh, and he's like the greatest fighter of them all, save maybe the head captain. :p

If you choose not to decide, you still have made a choice.

Keep in mind that most of the software you see, including the visual effects, is enough to lag a slower PC to HELL and is hardly worth the purtyness.

No, but that site is good too. See Koobie's post for the link where the pictures came from.

You have a lot of icons.

Yeah... Thrawn, when you take pics of your wallpaper, you're supposed to turn off icons so no one sees the mess you make of your desktop. That's what I do :D

Ill admit the opacity is a bit much, but most of that is fairly lightweight.


Also, if you find KDE slow, UPGRADE. KDE could be desribed as bloated, but Fluxbox is best described as "feature scarce", which is worse.

It's similar to that right now, apart from I've put my dock down the bottom again and cleaned the work of the desktop.

Its just below Glacier Peak in the Cascades, WA. Its up sort of near the border of Canada. This is one of the things that I absolutely love about living in washington. The scenery is beautiful. No matter where you go here, you can see mountains. Unless of course it is raining...
