What does your desktop look like? V3



I think eighteen months is a long enough wait.

Oh god....

My desktop is like one of those 'find the mistakes' pictures they put in the paper. How many mistakes can you find??

It's a bit more cluttered than it usually is. I suppose I've been a bit lazy lately.

I was looking for something to do with deep sea diving so I could find something with nice, dark colours. I saw one with a viper fish on, and it made me realise how much I like the photograph used on Bungle's Disco Volante. I'm not as overly mad on Bungle as I seem. It's just a huge coincidence that it happens to be their album that bears an image I like.

You'll notice that I have three browsers. Firefox is for me, IE is for Emily/brother/Louise and Chrome is on here at for my nephew. I wish we had other computers.
You'll also notice that there is a Mr. Bungle torrent. Again, coincidence. The bloody thing's been in Frostwire for eight months, and it's only up to 60%.

Why don't you have seperate Windows logons for each user?

We do, but more often than not, either myself or my nephew are on for quite a while (I have a lot of work that can be done on the computer, and my nephew has a lot of video games), so we keep the three to a user so that the next user doesn't have to log off and wait for their own account to load up.

You all have way more complex backgrounds than me. I just have a plain-black desktop. It's almost always full of icons

Mine is a goddam chicken. You must have a REAL plain background if mine is more complex.

I just found it on the Google image search after I'd given up on "Deep sea divers".

No. I searched for it when I realised that it would make a nice background. I realised this because it is related to the sea.

I don't think shadows work quite how you think they do.

Also props for OANST, Nate and Kastere.
