Quaver, why don't you save some memory and put all those items into your quick launch bar?


Blame it on Microsoft, God does.

My left side is used for browsing generally. The right side is used for... well... Hammer, DVD, and stuff (other appications). Ah; I upload both examples.
Desktop only
Used programmes

Oh Jeah; I change my wallpaper very often, so I picked a neutral one (needs to look pretty)

I have a strict "Only my work goes on my desktop rule". That way I have to stare at whatever it is I have done until I find all the flaws in it and fix it, or hate myself and cry. Eitherway it stays on the desktop.

Winamp MMD3 Skin (For the last 3 or 4 years now I think) It's the best what can I say.

I have made peace with the big Apple and bought one of their monitors... actually I bought it in the "big apple" on a vacation now that I think about it... no pun intended.

Icon placement is fairly exacting...
System icons along top row.
General linkage on left column.
Folder links on second column.
Temporary files on the rest.

Floating island on first column is project based apps. (in this case
VTF explorer
MDLDecompiler
Studio MDL (with fancy green arrow icon I found)

That is a hell of a screen resolution. Although I work on 1280 by 1024 I am the only one of the local boys with a resolution that high.
You've got my deep respect.

That picture makes no sense at all! Its a Mac screen <img src=" SRC="images/smiles/icon_eek.gif"> But yet you have Windows XP and Athlon XP... Surely you are but a fool for wasting money on this Mac screen which cost double the price of your PC?!

Why does having a high screen resolution make you worthy of respect? It just means you can afford better hardware, no more, no less.

I hear Mac screens are very high-quality... but yes, I still think that Apple logo on the front might have cost you upwards of $100 :P

Unlike my computer which I replace, if I'm lucky, every 18 months, my monitors usually last me about 6 years or so. Doing design day in and day out, it's a better investment than a fancy sports car, and actually pays for itself pretty quickly in productivity. It's nice when computer equipment starts to pay for itself. High resolution earns me money not respect. Out of the box, I send a printing company a PSD, it comes back, except for RGB to CMYK loss, it's as close as I could ever ask for. No more spiders for me.

P.S. Apple monitors are cheaper and better than Dell's.

I am amazed at the ammount of desktops that are filled with shortcuts, it breaks my heart...
There is a nice trick with windows to avoid this, make a new folder on your c:, lets call it 'Shortcuts', put all of the shortcuts in it, then right click on your taskbar (not the start button) and select toolbars -> new toolbar, then browse to the location of the folder you created. This will give you a nice spanking new menu on the taskbar next to your system tray in which you can access all of your favourite shortcuts in two clicks.
(in XP you may need to 'unlock' the taskbar in order to move it around)
Just like the start menu but waaaayy better
I'll post my desktop showing an example of this whenever photobucket pull their thumbs out and let me host the image.

P.S. i think frenchtoast is right, that might just be the best wallpaper ever.

*edit* Here is my desktop:
thumbnail

You can also stick 'My Computer' into its own taskbar and add your quicklaunch icons to it like so:
thumbnail

Do this by dagging the 'My Computer' icon to the side of your desktop and letting go, it will 'stick' to the side as a toolbar with which you can edit via right clicking on it to make it auto-hide. You can also add toolbars to it such as quick-launch. There is a downside to this - you cannot access this toolbar with other windows open. I have got used to pressing 'start + d' on my keyboard to show the desktop if i need to acess 'My Computer' and I wouldn't go back now that I am used to it.

I can bet 99% of you who try it won't like it, but I thought I'd let you know how its done anyway.

I'm gonna shut up now, peace.

The graphics aren't a big deal, because people can create their own custom addons, I have one that replaces almost half the models in the game.

Its not just the graphics its the general gameplay. when you run in a diaganal well you dont. you just run forwards and move left. Playing EQ2 too much, when you run in a diaganal they character actualy Turns in that direction and runs how he should.

I did make my owm maps and stuff for morrowind.... when i was instested in it, im just not anymore. it gets to a point where you get redicuasly Uber and you can fly when you jump etc etc.

Another thing im not so keen on morrowind is that the actual storyline quest is realy realy boring and rubbish, i just did all the guild thingies and general killed anything and everything.

I show respect for in fact using a high resolution. I use 17'' CRTs with the highest possible resolution.
Most people (I know) just don't.
I show respect for not being mainstream (as far as I experience). Probably 80 % of SnarkPits' users use a high res - so I just have to get used to it.
