Apologies if this has already been done.
My Internet connection just crashed and I had to restart my computer. While I was doing so, I looked at the picture of the cover of Horses by Patti Smith on my desktop and thought, "damn, I have good taste. I'm the coolest guy in the world." Then I walked into my bedroom door on the way to the bathroom.
So, what's on YOUR desktop?

What's wrong with mine?! Are you trying to tell me I should never play with photoshop again?! :(

Foot prints in the sand? There are no foot prints.. And what? None of mine?

what do you write?

Comic fiction. I'm blogging it at the mo, and I've only just found a narrative voice that isn't horribly stilted. My Blogspot site (which incidentally can be linked to from my profile) has four chapters of a first draft I'm putting together at the moment, but I have wreams of crap on my computer. I'm still learning a lot of basic stuff, but my self-description is "writer" regardless: if I don't succeed as one then I'll be in dead-end jobs for the rest of my life, because it's the only thing I really care about.

do you have your own characters or do you do like fanfic?

I don't mean to pry, I just write as well, so I am curious.

You freak.
Honey, what do you think that wide, dark line sneaking through the sand is?

It's more sand. When a wave comes in, it leaves sand behind, making layers of sand. And if you had your glasses on, you would see that there are no footprints in that photo.

Yeah, Portstewart gets some amazing views; facing north-west, out over a massive bay with cliffs running along one side and Donegal across the bay, and with a mile-long blue flag National Trust beach. Really is very beautiful.

yeh, i was leaning towards that one too. i've got bored of 'Arrested Expansion' quite quickly, maybe cuz it's not got many colours. i might browse the photo thread and steal someone's photo for my desktop, or try stumble-upon. hadone of ruffy's for a while before this one.

The Ulster GP one looks really good as well - love the contrast. Goes well with the startbar.

that pic makes me feel like i've to get out of the way fast! it's awesome! like, i dunno, i can't describe it - it's a really powerful image.It totally reminds me of the style of Sky Captain and the World of Tomorrow (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0346156/).

Vet! You dog! Completely unexpected :)My thoughts exactly. ;p

Wow! Nice! Okay to DL?
She didn't take it. Well.. she took it, but not with a camera.. :pAs Ruffy so kindly pointed out, she didn't take it, so sure, go ahead. She took it from this NYT article (http://travel2.nytimes.com/2006/04/30/travel/30easter.html) by Edward Albee on the Easter Islands. =)

The last one is a great shot. Where is that?Thankee. :) It's in southwestern Bolivia and I will gladly take this opportunity to shamelessly pimp my flickr page (http://www.flickr.com/photos/whereyouthinkyougoing/sets/72057594055931133/) where it and its friends are housed. :p

Any chance of a linky to the first image, but w/o your icons? Very nice stuff!

It's a panorama of the Panama isthmus, taken in Google Earth. My screensaver is all Google Earth screenshots, too. :cool:

that's really cool - google should so do a screensaver touring round google earth or something :)

Just changed it to this (http://www.allcarwallpapers.com/lamborghini/lamborghini-gallardo-superleggera-/10641/1024x768).

a submission for a desktop wallpaper contest as work in progress.

I got. A black background with all the famous final fantasy characters :P

On my laptop I have a picture of Apostle Sri Syadasti taken from Principia Discordia, and "There is serenity in chaos. Seek ye the eye of the hurricane" beside her. It says FNORD down the right hand side. If this thread is still around tomorrow I might be able to post a pic.

I have a whole series of wallapers like that, mostle with stuff taken from PD, but some with other images. They all have the fnord down the side though.

This is mine, just a little collage I made as a battle with a friend... mine is way more chaotic... Working on more stuff right now which is a tad more sophisticated, I was a novice when I did this:)

Everybody recognises the ass. Possibly the greatest ass ever. Pity the rest of her doens't match up.

and dangit..mine is just a beach scene

i just thought of this pic which i used to have as my background cuz it's blue. it was taken by someone in my department at uni so it's probably not in the public domain. i think it's a really calm and peaceful image (entitled 'fishermen' and iirc it was taken on lake victoria):
http://i65.photobucket.com/albums/h211/infiniterevolution/fishermen.jpg

I got a multipicture of the lunar eclipse of the last weekend, with all the phases from full moon to the red moon.

http://geek.upwardthrust.us/pictures/computers/dual.jpg (its big and a bit slow so ...)

a pic by mapplethorpe and i turned the icons off.

A little bit of highjacking, as this is not really a wallpaper but rather photoshop battle... enjoy! (I hope) Sadly, seems the others were lost when I got my new puter... Anyone else doing battles with a friend or foe? That could be a cool thread if more people here are into that stuff :)

Dual monitors I am guessing,

It's more effective if you click your heels and scream "SIEG HEIL!" or "MEINE EHRE IST MEINE TREUE!" at them when you've opened the door.

Nope, just me in my own particular brand of insanity. Nothing stops a random caller asking for money for starving orphans like a cap with the Totenkopf emblazoned on the front ;)

Very useful if you are trying to do things like pattern match coding where you need to look at a document, in as close to original format as you can and then write a program that matches it

(thats what I am doing right now)

also good in things like website design

Also a few studies as far as business productivity in a high email environment when you can for example leave outlook occupying one monitor and work on the other and coordinate between the two

In the end duals are incredibly productive for me I would never go back

Yes.
