| Tom King 2002-11-05 11:53:45 | OK people, let's have a look at your desktops! This is my laptop:  |
| Stephen Brooks 2002-11-05 13:27:14 | Here's two of mine - this one I've just taken: ...although due to the jpegging the text on the left is less coloured than it is here. This one I saw on the server but can't remember what it looks like:  "As every 11-year-old kid knows, if you concentrate enough Van-der-Graff generators and expensive special effects in one place, you create a spiral space-time whirly thing, AND an interesting plotline" |
| Bill[Romulus2] 2002-11-06 12:33:04 | I shrank my desktop image down a bit from it's normal 1600x1200 size but I think you can still see enough to drool over   |
| Stephen Brooks 2002-11-06 13:10:44 | quote: I wish my life was as simple as yours appears to be from the emptyness of your desktop  "As every 11-year-old kid knows, if you concentrate enough Van-der-Graff generators and expensive special effects in one place, you create a spiral space-time whirly thing, AND an interesting plotline" |

| Stephen Brooks 2002-11-06 13:22:57 | Here we go again with the 1.1MB images... I might let that one survive on the basis that the background image is totally stunning. "As every 11-year-old kid knows, if you concentrate enough Van-der-Graff generators and expensive special effects in one place, you create a spiral space-time whirly thing, AND an interesting plotline" |
| Tom King 2002-11-06 13:56:24 | The backround image is certainly gorgeous, but overall it is a tad large. |
| Bill[Romulus2] 2002-11-07 14:37:13 | Nobody else has a desktop? Either DrHanser's colorful display or my hyper streamlined strictly business server crushing display has the world awed |
| Lord Flasheart 2002-11-20 11:48:24 | Wooo, flying thingies... (yes I'm bored damnit!) EDIT: Arses, that didn't come out. And I can't be bothered to make it work. Needless to say it's a nice picture of a Tornado F3 jet against a blue sky. Woo. [This message was edited by Lord Flasheart on 2002-Nov-20 at 19:56.] |
| Tom King 2002-11-20 12:07:43 | Then post a picture of your desktop, beakbrain. |
| Stephen Brooks 2002-11-21 06:25:25 | OK, something "odd" has happened to my Windows machine now...  "As every 11-year-old kid knows, if you concentrate enough Van-der-Graff generators and expensive special effects in one place, you create a spiral space-time whirly thing, AND an interesting plotline" |
| Stephen Brooks 2003-01-28 05:18:06 | It's a big odd HORSE, of course. Err you know, if they made an extra-large black briefcase that also doubled as a 1-passenger car, some fool would complain it was too large to open at their desk |
| Marv The Grate 2003-01-28 20:53:45 | Off topic I know, but I noticed that Mr. Brooks has testout on his desktop. If you are studying for your CCNA perhaps I have some advice.... Let me know if it is wanted. Why curse the darkness when you can light a flamethrower? Men At Work -Terry Prachett |
| Herb[Romulus2] 2003-01-29 09:11:43 | The wallpaper is a bit hidden ------------------------------- I'd say more, but I can't reach the keyboard from the floor. |
| Stephen Brooks 2003-01-29 14:51:15 | quote: What's a CCNA? No, the only reason I had something called 'testout.txt' on my desktop was that I was testing a PHP script which outputted a text file, hence the name. I didn't know that name meant anything else! Err you know, if they made an extra-large black briefcase that also doubled as a 1-passenger car, some fool would complain it was too large to open at their desk |
| Marv The Grate 2003-01-30 21:38:49 | The CCNA network certification. Cisco Certified Network Associate. Testout is a program that helps people prepare for the cert, but I found it lacking. Were you looking at that as a means for preparing for the cert I was going to suggest something else.  Why curse the darkness when you can light a flamethrower? Men At Work -Terry Prachett |
| Stephen Brooks 2003-01-31 14:01:34 | I'm afraid the technicalities of computer networking is a subject that rapidly sends me to sleep. Funny really considering I'm running a DC project... P.S. Stylish desktop you have there. Err you know, if they made an extra-large black briefcase that also doubled as a 1-passenger car, some fool would complain it was too large to open at their desk |
| Marv The Grate 2003-01-31 23:47:27 | The technicalities of networking is what pays my bills. I am a TAC engineer for Cisco and I work with firewalls for a living. But I agree that it is a dry dusty subject that most people are not fond of. Why curse the darkness when you can light a flamethrower? Men At Work -Terry Prachett |
| wizbones 2003-02-05 18:28:00 |  Herb - Love the "Desktop" too funny. Nothing real spectacular here - just shameless self promotion   ----- The maximum effective range of an excuse is Zero point Zero Meters !! |
| [DPC]Stephan202 2003-02-05 22:40:57 | SPAM! SPAM! SPAM!  I don't believe that's your actual desktop background LOL --- Dutch Power Cow. MOOH! |
| wizbones 2003-02-06 08:26:29 | It is, that's my Half Moon Conur, his name is Screach and we call him that for a reason!!! Besides I like the skull it goes with my tatoos  ----- The maximum effective range of an excuse is Zero point Zero Meters !! |
| [DPC]Stephan202 2003-02-06 09:25:06 | Allright, how obvious...   You convinced me --- Dutch Power Cow. MOOH! |
| Stephen Brooks 2003-02-06 10:06:23 | Your conur looks a lot like a parrot from that angle. Err you know, if they made an extra-large black briefcase that also doubled as a 1-passenger car, some fool would complain it was too large to open at their desk |
| wizbones 2003-02-06 13:11:14 | Well he is a parrot I also have two Kakarikis (small new zeland parrots) two peach face love birds, three cockatials, and several varieties of finch(a small annoying bird). A total of like 30 +/- birds with an avairy inside the house. /Sorry for the totally off topic post, but Stephan202 started it LOL ----- The maximum effective range of an excuse is Zero point Zero Meters !! |
| [DPC]Stephan202 2003-02-06 13:51:32 | I think no one is going to blame you for this extremely off topic post , since this is the "Marmite-flavoured mallards" forum (still need to translate the meaning of this. I have absolutely no clue) I wonder: why do you keep annoying birds in your house? Getting rid of them doesn't seem to hard to me. Just accidently forget to close a window --- Dutch Power Cow. MOOH! |
| wizbones 2003-02-06 14:36:51 | We gave my mom two finch for her birthday and they turned out to be extremely furtile - just our luck. Anyhow they basically took over her house and she couldn't keep them any more. 25 or so I don't remember. Hard to count them, they're alwasy moving around. So being the wonderful son that I am I took them for her. We've lost eight of them so far, they don't swim to well and keep drowning in the waterfall. I've revised it three times now, and so far so good. No more dead birdies. Mallards a duck idn't it? Marmite flavoured? Cooked maybe? ----- The maximum effective range of an excuse is Zero point Zero Meters !! |
| [DPC]Stephan202 2003-02-06 15:01:27 | Well I translated it, and I think marmite is something we don't don't know in Holland. A mallard is a common wild duck, or as would say, an every day duck. We have em all around over here in Holland. They're in every ditch.  So I don't know how the ducks of this forum taste, and I don't want to imagine the taste of a Dutch mallard which has been fed with leftovers (bread) day in - day out, living in a filthy ditch. I'd go for a normal chicken. Yes but that one's facing the WRONG WAY. --- Dutch Power Cow. MOOH! [This message was edited by Stephen Brooks on 2003-Feb-22 at 21:04.] |
| Tom King 2003-02-07 03:53:49 | I like ducks. They're nice. They swim around in thier pond and go "QUACK QUACK QUACK QUACK" "Quarnk" "Qwaffle" etc with comforting regularity. Parrots are very odd indeed, but I treat them with slightly more caution seeing as I've been beaked by them on many occasions. |
| Stephen Brooks 2003-02-07 09:12:50 | quote: Hmm, could this be a magic parrot, that can become both a parrot and a conur at the same time? Or maybe can turn from one to the other at will? Marmite is a bizarre invention. You should look it up on the internet, order some, and then put it on your TOAST to see if you like it or not.
