April Desktop Thread
2006-03-25, 10:12 PM #1
No, this is not a "PYD" thread. Had you there for a second didn't I. It's about Desktop Earth. This cool program replaces your wallpaper with an image of the Earth as you would see it in orbit...kind of. You don't see a flat Earth in Orbit. But it I think it's nifty that you can see the Earth in both night and day. For those all worried about "omgmemory & seepeeyou", I hardly if ever notice performance drops. Hell I was just playing NWN a little while ago and it ran smoothly.

My desktop showing the Americas all sleep and sound.

For my fellow SA Goons I found it first on this thread (language)
Code to the left of him, code to the right of him, code in front of him compil'd and thundered. Programm'd at with shot and $SHELL. Boldly he typed and well. Into the jaws of C. Into the mouth of PERL. Debug'd the 0x258.

Well crap.

I can:
a) Merge the threads
b) Close the thread.
c) Turn it into a PYD thread.

Turn into PYD!

Or perhaps merge the thread with the last PYD thread, thus efectively closing the thread. ;)

Rather than drag the necromice out of their sleeping quarters at this late hour, I decided to start next month's thread a few days early.

LOL. I really like WWII. There's just somethng about it that really gets to me on a personal level. It's kinda like the feeling you get when you watch Band of Brothers.
