Southern California - Off topic!! What does your desktop look like ?

I know this has been done often, but I was just wondering what your desktop looks like here is mine.

I couldn't help but notice that it looks like you're coding up a DAG for a SPF implimentation. I was wondering what application the code is for. It wouldn't happen to be for some kind of routing protocol would it?

It's a homework assignment "Dykstra's Shortest path algorithm".

It's a homework assignment "Dykstra's Shortest path algorithm".

Yes... the quintessential SPF algorithm. ;) It's used in both OSPF and IS-IS. BTW, it's spelled "Dijkstra".

aside from whatever is covering it....
Just finished a fast ride around the Back bay in Newport. Short but good..

Mine has an 06 mustang on the front

Here are a few screenshots from years past although my current desktops haven't changed much at all.

My main desktop: Solaris/SPARC running on a dual headed Sun Ultra2/2300. Window manager is fvwm2 with a lot of customisation. The desktop environment is Gnome2. And I'm also running a bunch of WindowMaker dockapps.

My laptop running FreeBSD. Windowing environment is set up similarly to my desktop.

Here's a relatively recent addition to my stash of machines. This screenshot is off my "guest" laptop. This is a laptop I loan out to people who are visiting me and didn't happen to bring their own laptop but want to hop on to check email and browse and such. It's an old IBM ThinkPad X21 (ultraportable). It sports a 600MHz Pentium-III, 192MB of RAM, 10GB HD and a 12" display. I stuck a cheapo 802.11b wireless card I had laying around in it. It's loaded with a stock install of FreeSBIE (http://www.freesbie.org/)-1.1 LiveCD. This is a FreeBSD-5.3R distro with a bunch of goodies all wrapped into an ISO that can be run on a diskless machine. It's similar to the idea behind the Knoppix (http://www.knoppix.org) Linux distro. However, you can also choose to install it to the HD if you want. It's a quick way to build a fully working out-of-the-box FreeBSD laptop. The install took me less than half an hour. I just popped the CD in, hit the enter key a few times and off it went. The window manager is XFCE4 (FreeSBIE also comes with Fluxbox) and I'm running both Gnome and KDE servers underneath to support any apps that need those. Running FreeBSD makes this pretty snappy for such a relatively old and limited machine. Windows 2000 was a dog on this thing. And XP was simply painful.

This second set of screenshots are from my Cingular 2125 phone running Windows Mobile 5. I've highly customised it which is fairly easy to do since all the screens and such are configured via XML.

Nothing wrong with that. I ride a single cogged bicycle too. :D

Good job, you are a bike riding geek!! My goal was to find if there were any NON windows geeks here, I guess I am not alone.The problem in our field is that most programmers spend more time in front of the monitor, and less time in front of the stem.

Great shot. It's now my desktop pic too (thanks!). :D


A pic I took a few weeks ago on my usual early morning ride is my desktop: http://i37.photobucket.com/albums/e95/blah106/DSC03686.jpg

Chronological by depth; I'm sure you can picture the magnitude of that. And yes that describes both my computer screen and desk.

All I have to say is that Apple is bad

(walks off shaking head in sheer disbelief....he has 153 women my god finding 1 would do me...)

Haha I only do that so it's easier to find who I'm looking for.
Plus I only talk to about 10 of those 153.
I'm just to lazy to go through and delete.

I use Fluxbox. No icons. No background image. Nothing. It's just blue. I'll get a shot of it from home later, but it's an incredibly uninteresting patch of blue. I love it :)

(And I'm happy to see Mac and Linux here -- and even FreeBSD!! I'll take a "slice" of that any day!)

I have a picture of my nephew cannonballing at our former cottage (sniffle) at West Hawk Lake, Manitoba (I know, too many icons) and on my laptop I have a picture of mist on the open water of St. Mary's River, Sault Ste. Marie, at -40.

It's a homework assignment "Dykstra's Shortest path algorithm".

There's a really bad Lenny Dykstra joke to be made here.

This is a pic from last year's Spooktacular that I use for my desktop viewing pleasure.

Mine's very plain. I keep it uncluttered, unlike my home. :D The pic changes regularly...

Brandy, how does AllTunes work with iTunes and your iPod? My spinning instructor told me about it, but not the specifics.

OK....here's a dumb question: How do you post your desktop?

Brandy, how does AllTunes work with iTunes and your iPod? My spinning instructor told me about it, but not the specifics.

I download from allofmp3.com then open the file they're stored in, select all and drag and drop them into my iTunes library. Not sure if there's an easier way...that one works for me. iTunes reconfigures it, if I recall correctly.

OK....here's a dumb question: How do you post your desktop?

Print Screen (prt scr), open Paint, paste image, save as a jpg. ;)

Use the import folder option from iTunes and point it to your allofmp3 download directory. If you want to copy them directly into the iTunes directory, use the Consolidate Library option.

See...I always do things the hard way! http://www.smileypad.com/v221/Feelings/Doh3.gif

Thanks y'all! That's going to keep my husband from choking me over how much I'm spending at iTunes. And here's my desktop.

I can't do it. I think I'm stupid.

They are sooo cute, Biscuit, and that picture reminds me of when I was a kid and had leaves to jump into like that. These native Californians have never seen piles of leaves, thus it scares them. ;)

The best was making these huge piles and riding your bike thru them!!!

What??? You don't like my darling little heads?Don't get me wrong...they're very cute. Just that that image of heads poking out of leaves reminded me of a horror film I saw years ago.
