Just a plain screenshot of my FreeBSD box doing its usual thang. Stuff includes:

Blackbox 0.65.0 with taskbar patch (style "Spiff" (distributed with source))
Phoenix 0.5 (shaded, theme "MicroPhoenix 1.3")
rxvt (font "shine")
aterm with transparency and fading (font "smoothansi")
GKrellM 1.2.13 (theme "prime_23")
bbkeys 0.8.5 (iconified)
wallpaper "blue_forest.jpg" from shiftedreality.com

I keep forgetting to grab ImageMagick. xv for screenshots isn't very pleasant :(

[Chinasaur]

I love Fluxbox/Blackbox...fastest windowmanager around :)

Gotta get Waimea functional one of these days and try it out.

Last month's desktop:

Dyyryath's Desktop (Outdated Link - Disabled)

Right now I'm experimenting some more with KDE 3.1 & Mandrake 9.1. We'll see how it turns out after I've had some time to play with it. ;)

[Scoofy12]

you run your desktop as root? :scared: why?

[Dyyryath]

Heh, it's convenient. :D

Yeah, I know the rule. "Only act as root when you have to. Making a mistake as root could have severe consequences."

On production machines & whatnot I generally work as dyyryath. On my development box, though, I'm always root. Believe it or not, if you think before you do things, it's really not that big of a deal. In the fifteen or so years I've been working in Unix, I've never made a really ugly mistake as root. (Of course, having said that, I'll now promptly have some kind of brain cloud and issue rm -rf * from the root directory. :D)

The only other drawback to being root is security. Generally if I'm doing something that could be a security risk (i.e. running an IRC client) I run it as a normal user.

What can I say? I guess I'm just a foolish rebel. :D :D

[Scoofy12]

well... seeing as you have been using unix almost as long as I have been using computers, i'll let it slide :D

[Dyyryath]

LOL :D

Threads like this are insanely popular over at Ars (last I checked a screenshot thread was at 54 pages). I wonder why that isn't so over here?

I'm just gonna clean up one of my Windows boxen and throw a screenshot here in a bit.

[Chinasaur]

I think people at Free-DC tend just run the dog snot out of their computers and tinker with them, OC them, etc vs posting screenies :) Less interested in eye candy.

[alpha]

Yeah, that would make sense. Its one of the main reasons I only posted a screenshot of my FreeBSD box, because my Windows box is so slimmed down that it is nothing to look at. Oh well, I'm eating up DF/OGR cycles posting this, so I should shut up and assume the crunching position ;)

[Dyyryath]

I don't mind looking at the occasional screenshot. In fact, I usually find it fascinating. It's interesting to see how other people organize things. Eye candy is always fun, too. ;)

Today's desktop:

The bigger version can be found right here (http://www.zerothelement.com/ss.php).

I want to see what IronBits desktop looks like...

[IronBits]

You guys are so strange. What single guy goes without a picture of his favorite woman in the world?

1600x1200 Image is here (http://images.dp.cx/index.php?currDir=./misc/desktops&pageType=large&image=desktop.png)

[Dyyryath]

LOL, I guess we have different taste in women. She's a little too bright & shiny for me. :)

If I was going to have wallpaper with a woman on it, it'd probably be this one (http://www.zerothelement.com/image.php?Image=Angelina.jpg). :D

I like tough, crazy women. :thumbs:

[IronBits]

Levis and a T-shirt, or nothing at all will do. :D

Sooo, you like em TOUGH you say?!
http://stream.qtv.apple.com/qtv/videoc/http/benn001/benn001_http_300_ref.mov
Not what I would call work safe unless you turn the volume down and make sure no one is looking over your shoulder. Now these are real tuff workin women ;)
:D

[Darkness Productions]

Don't get me wrong, I like em tough and crazy as well, but there's something about a woman in a Tennis skirt that gets me all fired up...

/me agrees with IB - that is the best .mov I've ever seen :smoking:

My current work desktop:

IB, that was one of the funniest things I've ever seen! :rotfl:

Not sure how I missed this thread so long ago

[jesterKing]

I have a narcistic desktop... :smoking:

[magnav0x]

jesterkin, excatly what is Blender?

[jesterKing]

http://www.blender.org

3D-stuff :)

[Dyyryath]

Well, our new friend is running Windows, but he's also got Firebird, Cygwin, & Blender so I guess we can let the Windows thing slide. :D

[jesterKing]

As they say, the customer is King. And if our customer wants stuff that works under Windows, we better test it, right?

My first choice OS would be a Linux-kernel powered one, though. As probably already has become clear in previous posts.

[Dyyryath]

That's what I use vmware (http://www.vmware.com) for. Of course, I do have a handful of Windows XP boxes upstairs for playing Battlefield 1942 on, so I guess I shouldn't really be giving you too hard of a time. ;)

Today's desktop:

[magnav0x]

Dyyranth.......is that a karamba app for DF?! :eek:

[Dyyryath]

gDesklets, yes, which is pretty much Karama for Gnome. It was a 5 minute hack that I never got around to making any fancier. ;)

[magnav0x]

I'm jealous now :cool: I think I need to learn python so I can make something similar for Karamba

[Dyyryath]

You'll like Python. It's a fantastic language. :thumbs:

[jesterKing]

Python rocks. And Blender too, because it uses Python as well :D

[pointwood]

/me wants a desktop that looks as cool as Dyyryaths :help: :D

I must say that is one sweet looking desktop!

I guess I better switch back to my Gentoo install and make it my primary OS :smoking:

Believe it or not, if you think before you do things, it's really not that big of a deal. In the fifteen or so years I've been working in Unix, I've never made a really ugly mistake as root. (Of course, having said that, I'll now promptly have some kind of brain cloud and issue rm -rf * from the root directory. )

The first time I installed Linux was Slack on a 386, back when 386's were hot. I had a lot of fun playing with it until the day I went to delete a temporary directory.

You guessed it - I didn't do a pwd first, didn't realize I was at /, and did an rm -r. Everything worked great until I rebooted it.

It was educational. I haven't done it since. I highly recommend working as root only on a scrap box until you do something like this. You'll never do it again <g>.

[magicfan241]

Ok, here is mine...the file is huge! EDIT: IB fixed the file...now 110k instead of 1100k!

No one else would know where the artist got the inspiration for the drawing from. Other than it is a book they made me read in 8th grade.

[rshepard]

MY EYES! The goggles, they do nothing!!!!!!!!!

Man, that's bright---Don't know if I could deal with that first thing in the morning :D It is pretty though; is it inspired by "Watership Down" ?

[Moogie]

rshepard: I was wondering about the Watership Down thing myself.

I don't know how you guys keep your desktops so clean! I've got so much stuff on it atm. Every onece in a while, I need to clean things up.

[Dyyryath]

Chinasaur: That's a very nice looking desktop. I love the colors. OS X is nice to look at, no doubt. In fact, I've been very impressed with it all the way around. I'm not willing to give up Linux/Gnome for it, but it's definately a classy OS. :thumbs:

[magicfan241]

rshepared & moogie: It is inspired by Watership Down!

And hey, I like my things bright.

Moogie: I have a folder with about 350 links in it, just so they don't clutter up my desktop!

magicfan241

[Chinasaur]

Dyyryath,

Thanks. I need muted shades for these old eyes :D Where is a shot of your latest?

rshepard: :lmao:

Moogie: I have everything set to download/write to my Desktop. That way, if anything is there, I know it needs to be put it in it's proper place. If you have lots of icons on your desktop, they are sucking cycles for screen refreshes that could be better used for crunching :jester:

:cheers:

[gopher_yarrowzoo]

okay what my screen looks like :p just about :p Excuse the mess - I work hard and need things to hand (that's what I keep telling people anyway
