Let's See Your Desktop (Dialup Warning!)

[Ryan Ruck]

Okay everybody, let's see what everyone's desktop looks like!

This is what I have now:



The wallpaper is a picture of Operation Upshot-Knothole, Shot Badger, 23 kiloton yield, conducted April 18, 1953 at the Nevada Test Site.

I have other nuclear detonation wallpapers that I switch between as well. I also have other wallpapers of various military hardware (land, sea, and air), various firearms, and a couple space wallpapers.

In case you are wondering why my version of Windows (I am actually running Windows XP Pro) looks so odd, it is because I am running WindowBlinds. WindowBlinds is a skinning program for Windows XP and I am using the Blackcomb skin. It's cool because it has a feature that allows me to tack windows on top of everything else and also collapse them to just their title bars. I use this feature a lot when listening to AOL Radio.

And for the heck of it, I'm also going to share my "New Mail" indicator sound with you all!

I run Mozilla Thunderbird for a mail program with Thundertray to keep it minimized to the system tray and yet still run in the background to constantly check for new mail.

I used to have the Howard Dean scream for my new mail sound but, I recently got tired of Howie scaring the crap out of me when I least expected it! So, I have switched to a new one that I am going to attach to this post (MP3 format). It is the ring tone of the CTU phones on 24! The sound originally came as one ring. I added two more. So, now when I get mail, it "rings" three times with the CTU phone ring!

If anyone wants this sound file in WAV format, let me know. I have both the 3 ring version and the original single ring version.

I'm wondering which one I ought to put up. I have five computers I use.

[Ryan Ruck]

Wow, talk about a zombie thread! LOL! I think wallpaper I posted was from my old Dell Latitude laptop.

[American Patriot]

I never saw the thread before, Ryan. lol

[American Patriot]

Didn't really save it well. It is in jpg format so it's not high quality. This is my work desktop (one of two machines on my desk).

[American Patriot]

I dont see yours. I see Ryans and Mine though.

But I know how to capture it.

[Malsua]

Two screens..usually keep my mail up on the left one but can't for something going out on the net.

Here's what I've got going on currently...



Work laptop is sporting the May LaRue Tactical monthly calendar. No screenshot of that but here it is:

I'll play.

I have been using this desk for many months. If you like it look to the lower right corner.

I have my bar set to hide for more desktop as I prefer minimalistic appearance.

The image is showing how I use my two monitors. The left is my main and often I drag info I am using as reference to the right smaller monitor. Sometimes it is my forex browser on the right so I can use my main workspace freely.

[American Patriot]

Ok.. one more. This is home. Two screens.



On the left is World of Warcraft, Vargung - one of my main characters, flying above Orgirmar on a Netherwing Dragon.

On the right is my other desktop with a picture of me and my dear lady walking a deserted beach on Sandy Cay in the British Virgin Islands (ok, my son and a couple others were there taking pictures).

Both of those are on at the same time by the way. One is a game running on the left, the one on the right is the actual desktop image. I have two monitors running.
