Following in the great tradition of Geeky forums or when geeks get together and hang out on a forum, you have to show your desktop.

Here is mine.

Size = 1280x1024
Image used as Desktop Background = Ball and Chain 2 (Created by myself.)


View the Fullsize Image Link

Don't know how I took the screenshot:  Here is a little Tutorial to show you.

Naughty Darkside!  G.T.'s NFI (Not Fucking Impressed) smiley

Oooooh! A "you show me yours and I'll show you mine" thread!  G.T.'s shake smiley  G.T.'s giggle smiley

Here's mine - rather boringly it's been the same for quite some time now. I think it's about time for a change...

This one's the background image (can't remember where I got it from though)

1024 x 768
And this is a screenshot (this one's my laptop cos I'm currently lounging on the sofa, but Diva's is identical except she's got even more shortcut icons if that's possible)... I think I really need to do something about all of those.... Darkside's thinking 'umm' smiley


They also both have custom bootscreens too. Diva's is curtesy of Taz, and can be found here - http://darkerside.co.uk/image-gallery/cpg133/displayimage.php?album=22&pos=3 (you've removed my beta test credit Tazzie... G.T.'s sadlook smiley)

Diva-ette (laptop's) is one of mine:

There used to be a sort of system to mine - work stuff in one area, web stuff in another, then fun stuff. It sort of all got a bit confused though.  G.T.'s giggle smiley

Ecanus.net's eek! smiley Quick! Enroll her on the express geek training programme! If I recall, week 2, module 27b covers customising your p00ter so you can try and pretend that it's not got a Windoze OS.

Next you'll be telling us he/she hasn't got a name either.... G.T.'s eye smiley

Hmmmm...."it"? Do you know if it's male or female? You'll need to check out the ports and stuff round the back.

Handy hint though if you can't be bothered with all the crawling around behind the desk thing - browse to Taz's site and show it the pics of Venger. If it makes a strange noise then crashes, it's female. Venger has that effect on most female computers.  G.T.'s nod smiley

Unfortunatley I do need to crawl around there at some point.. for some reason, my headphones are still working, but not the speakers.  Darkside's sad smiley

I kinda get the impression this one is a male.. it malfunctions at the worst possible times!   G.T.'s wink smiley

You are just gonna upset Rob and Dragon with this line of conversation you know that, right?  G.T.'s giggle smiley

Speaking of Venger...

MJM has not had the pleasure yet has she.  G.T.'s ebil smiley

You do realise what effect that just had on Diva don't you Taz? She always starts acting funny when she sees pics of Venger (calmed her down a bit though when she saw the pics of the Dragon though G.T.'s giggle smiley)

Apart from that she starts feeling very inferior when Venger's around  G.T.'s sadlook smiley, but here she is anyway...
