LOL RetroTech! Good one! Gave me my "Laugh For The Day". :lol:

Starhawk? If I could withstand the heat like I did a few years back - maybe five years ago? - I'd be down your way in a minute 'cos I really miss those nightime sounds buddy regardless of the migraines! There's nothing like the sight and sounds of nature to remind one that they are not alone on this ball of rock drifting through space...

Thanks for sharing Starhawk. I appreciated that! I really owe you an email as well. -sigh- I've been a very bad boy in that respect. lol.

Oups! Time to take the newspapers around the complex here... Laterzzz!

Cheers/Amicalement,

@Eyes-Only -- drop by in the mid- to late fall, if you want to visit when the weather's agreeable. Spring is rainy, summer is unsufferably hot (this July has been mostly 90 F days...) and winter is too cold but without snow... yet fall is NICE... funny how that works.

Late Sept, all of Oct, and maybe some of early Nov should be nice. "Should be".

I'd advise for sure against visiting in winter. Although we had very mild winters the last couple years, we're about due for a humongo snowstorm -- they tend to drop by every five to ten years (or so) and the last bit of big winter weather was in the early '00s -- 2004 we had 23in of snow in the drifts, at least on my property. So we're actually overdue... of course if Al Gore has his science right the whole country's gonna look like New Mexico in a few decades, but that's a whole other ball of wax, I think.

Don't sweat the email. It's not a big deal.

If I had a decent microphone I could record some of those sounds for you and put 'em on a CD... ah but the microphone is sorely lacking and a standard PC model (optimized for voice, not environment) won't produce anything other than a pile of awful.

Latest computer contraption build of mine, "Paper Tiger 2". Worklog here.

Desktop screenshot as seen by my horrible camera. Maybe someday I'll get a better one, when I get the money...

Image

Puplet: Upup Raring 3991

Resolution = 1024x768 (16b color IIRC) 75.1Hz refresh.

Wallpaper: from goooooooooogle, don't remember the site but I can post the original if need be.

Icons: Rouge.pet from dejan555's puppy.b0x.me site. Not wonderful, but it's alright.

GTK Theme: I forget :oops: I want to say it was gray bird something something but I can't remember the whole bit. Included with Upup.

JWM Theme: Onyx. Included with Upup.

Camera: Pathetic, awful, blurry as **** and partially damaged (battery door is cracked) Kodak EasyShare DX7630. Nobody told me it was the FuzzyPix Edition, either... :(

Its just the way this thread works. Tons of people post pics and never get responses.
Example: my post higher on this page got no responses. No big deal, it doesn't matter if others don't like my setup... just as long as I like it. :)

Now I feel bad -- I looked at your pix, thought the space themed ones were incredibly awesome, but didn't get the Tron thing (I've never really paid attention to Tron for some reason). Meant to post a comment, got caught up in other stuff, forgot, and here we are.

Its all good. Tron is kinda a niche film anyway, And the remake was rather abysmal.

starhawk - it'd be nice to see a clear screenshot of your tiger setup - can you use mtpaint or something to get a screenie in better detail? I love those flamey cat pics.

Just realized -- I have the wallpaper itself on my main system (which is what I'm typing on now). So I'll just post that. Here you go...

Bing is M$ trying to end Google. I know, "good luck with that!" but I don't want to give them anything more than I absolutely have to.

Also, take a look at this.

More corporate greediness and monopoly-making than anything in the usual arena covered by politics... but then again, these days the two are hardly separable...

Also amusing is that Bing doesn't deliver personal sites, establishing under "Google Sites"...

600 pixels wide would be even better... :wink:

In light of recent disclosures (thank you sir Snowden), it would be sheer stupidity to keep using Google or Bing. Using those goes against the essence of what Puppy is all about...

Especially because there are alternatives that are improving all the time:

* https://duckduckgo.com/

*https://startpage.com/

Or, in general, see : https://prism-break.org/

Sorry to have gone even more off-topic than you guys.
I just hope it can be useful :)

Looks like you need to plug in your AC charger - battery is down to halfway... :-)
