Journal FortKnox's Journal: Desktop Background Picture 43
I am having deja vue, I think. Hasn't someone already posted a JE to link to what your background desktop pic is?
If not, lets start up the linkage!
What is on the background of your machine (if its multiple, put up multiple links).
And make sure we put in whether its ok for work.
For the record, my work and server desktop pic is a high resolution enlarged picture of the Cassini's photo of "New Years Io".
My windows machine has a picture of Joey on it, and the screensaver is pictures from his birth (mostly people holding him).

But seriously, what's the point of sending up a probe with cameras if not for people to see them on a level beyond that of a press release? (Yes, I know the answer, but it's a rhetorical question damnit!)

Oh, and the question I get is "what's that supposed to be?" It isn't supposed to be anything, its a REAL photograph of Io with Jupiter in the background.

On my TiBook, with its more cluttered screen, I tend to use solid colors, dark gray or blue.
I used to do some R-rated pictures but as I went to link some from Freshmeat, I notice they have my real name and work email address on them! No, I don't think I need to call attention to those. I'm planning to put up an anonymous Geocities page sometime to distribute a bunch of backgrounds I've made (Jun Kusunagi, Lacey Duvall, etc.) that are nice but don't fit my now-married persona. ;-)
Oh, and sometimes I still use Alan Cox's tile from when Themes.org had their "Three questions and a tile" column. That definitely dates me...

Usually I just use them for XDM login backgrounds. For my actually desktop wallpaper, I use a solid color. I'm not able to see the desktop often enough to bother. When I do look at something on the desktop, I like to be able to use/see it, so many of the uber-cool themes/patterns are not good.

Note: I do not own a TB303, I just have a great appreciation for the engineering feat that it is. It was design to replace a bass guitarist. It failed miserably. However when you tweak the hell out of it (twisting knobs and programming in slides from and to infinity) its turns into this beautiful, squelchy, rock box. So fabu, you couldn't have designed it better.

...changes every (/me checks my cronjobs...) 15 minutes (occasionally more frequently since I've bound a key combo to my background rotation script). Most of them are self-made, in the GIMP (perusing them will see that I am not a GIMP expert by any means...). The majority are not work safe or borderline, but you can browse what's in the pool (and a lot that aren't, but used to be) on my server [cygnetnet.net].

It turns out that, for a few days, the Linux box at home that is a DSL router and the nameserver for cygnetnet.net ran out of memory (bug in initscripts), so for a few days, BIND wasn't running. Try this link [128.119.117.163].

Currently I'm running a self-made Azumanga Daioh theme. I've got a screenshot that is close enough to what I'm running now here [rit.edu].
When I get a new computer in February probably I'll make a new bad-ass metroid/samus theme. Then I'll run this computer as Mandrake/FreeDOS with multiple KDE 3 wallpapers rotating.
