What does your desktop look like? (V4)

[Jordan]

Look who just got Windows 7!

[Wil]

My work computer desktop.

[Nate]

Sweet! I hate you!

Look who just got Windows 7!

Who cares? I'm going to be installing Windows 8 over the weekend.

[Jordan]

Fucking sweet.

Bollocks to you Nate! Don't crush my dreams!

[Dynamithix]

Wha-wha-whaat, is Windows 8 out?!

Also, Max, that's an awesome wallpaper.

[Wil]

Windows 8 is available?? They only unveiled it a couple of days ago.

[Dynamithix]

I decided to change my wallpaper.



EDIT: Oh wow, I still have Spotify on that image even though I deleted it months ago

You can download and install the beta.

I see. I suppose I'd best not put it on my work machine.

I'm getting it now, also, it says it's not possible to uninstall it. I'm trying it in a VM.

Unless terminology has changed since the days of X-Files, shipper.

The fact that it took me minutes to remember it demonstrates my inexperience with that word.

[Wings of Fire]

Oh I love shipping.

And so does Peter. Ask him about his NaruKiba.

It’s a really obscure pairing, you’ve probably never heard of it.

Beat you to it:



Installed it yesterday on my old as shit laptop. Despite the graphics chip not playing nice (due to the drivers refusing to install on anything besides Vista) it runs reasonably well, and the new UI feels slick as, even with just mouse and keyboard.

Oh, good thinking. Right after writing my last post, it occurred to me that the last time I installed OSes on my computer I forgot to leave a partition free for experiments like this. You've just reminded me that I've got several old laptops laying around that I can play with.

I'm certain I have no knowledge of the vast majority of all fiction out there, but shippers are shippers just as Mary Sues are Mary Sues and monster of the week episodes... You get what I'm saying.

[Nate]

I thought Oddhunter was making a hipster joke. I don't know why though.

[MeechMunchie]

I just don't know what he was talking about.

How old? Mine’s an Aspire 9300 with a 1.6GHz processor with 4GB, and a GeForce Go 6100 (which doesn’t seem to be getting utilised due to no drivers). It runs okay, but the Metro UI can get a little choppy sometimes; so I’d recommend using something a bit higher-spec than me.

“Shipster” sparked in my brain.

[Nate]

How old?

Buggered if I can remember. I bought it in 2005 and it's spent the last few years sitting in a cupboard at mum's place.

“Shipster” sparked in my brain.

Ah, I get it now.

[Dynamithix]

I changed my wallpaper again.



Is this better than the Bender one? I'm not sure.

[moxco]

Nate, have you been downloading AiN's photos from WDYLL?

[Nate]

Nate, have you been downloading AiN's photos from WDYLL?

Hahaha. That folder is a backup from my Ubuntu partition.

My computer/device naming theme is based on Shaun Micallef's sketch comedy characters:

• Ubuntu partition: Fabio
• WinXP partition: Nobby
• Asus Eee: Milo
• PS3: Inspector Herring
• MP3 player: Sotto Voce
• Wireless network SSID: The World Around Him
• etc

[MeechMunchie]

I named all my iPods Geoff.

My work computer desktop.

Thats a sweet wallpaper, I've never seen it before

[Mr. Bungle]

[MeechMunchie]

Oh R'lyeh?

[Dynamithix]

I dig my new background. It's funky.

[JennyGenesis]

Before I even read the text, the word "funky" came to my head
Anyway, heres mine.



And my dashboard, the chicken has been replaced with a picture of Bill Kaulitz

[Ridg3]

I don't change my background often, but when I do, I make it worth the change.
