I guess the desktop screenshot meme is back?

Desktop screenshot

  • It's Minneapolis! Uh, I always forget what lake this is? It's at least near the Lake of the Isles. It looks idyllic, but There Are Bugs. No, I don't remember what that salmon-colored thing floating on the water is.
  • Note inevitable corvid joke.
  • I have a little bit of magnification on my dock. Yes, it's flashy and silly-looking and very 10.0, but it turns out that it actually makes the dock targets easier to hit--in effect, making the right-hand side of the screen taller than the left side. Who knew?
  • None of this transparent menu bar nonsense.
  • The folders along the bottom are permanent and extremely important, but they're far too boring to explain.
  • The busier I am, the messier the desktop gets. Once I'm done with something, I usually try to clean it up.


In conclusion, these idiotic "salmon" AIM bots must be destroyed.

I don't know how to post a smaller picture that turns into a larger one. That statement sounds dumb, but it's a question?

If you use Flickr, they have a "blog this photo" button that generates code for you, and I think Photobucket and the Livejournal photo feature will both do something similar.

I, uh, did it the hard way: upload a big and a small photo to my own webspace, and type in <a href="http://www.sedumphotos.net/nfagerlund/pix/clippo/desktop-june08.png"><img src="http://www.sedumphotos.net/nfagerlund/pix/clippo/desktop-june08%28sm%29.png" alt="Desktop screenshot" border="0"></a>. This is because having my own website back in 1998 or whatever taught me some bad habits.

Wow. So about a million years ago I created a geocities account with the idea that I would have a website, and although I took web design during senior year of high school, I didn't really keep any of that with me. I created a flickr account.

So if you are curious about my desktop you can click here:

And if you aren't, I will never know.
But if you do look at it, I want to say that those words on the right hand side are all quotes from things I found funny. Not my own words.
