I made some major changes to my desktop, so I posted again. :p Finally got sick of the fact that gdesklets wasn't in Gentoo's stable package repository so I got rid of gkrellm and decided to use experimental gdesklets packages...

Ford Prefect: Hehe, actually I run Linux like WMCoolmon said. :)

(http://qsd.xpi.org.uk/qs14desktop1.jpg)

This is my current wallpaper, I have a program that changes my wallpaper every 2 hours. Randomly out of my oh curretnly 327 wallpapers, what can I say I can't stand looking at the same wallpaper for too long *lol*

Nice to meet you all and glad to be in the freespace 2 community thanks to the wonderfull work of the SCP. Keep it up and happy freespacing ;)

The exits are to your left and right. Flamethrowers are under your seats, but they are sometimes filled with water. If this occurs, please check the lockers for the old shotguns.
Stay away from the admin's weapon lockers and the air vents. If you see a large, insectoid-looking creature inhabiting the latter, throw him a large piece of meat (preferably not yourself), and he will leave you alone.
Thank you and have a nice day!


Which program do you use to change your desktop? I am interested in it!

*heh* I was waiting for that love that so great too bad more communitys don't do that would seem more welcoming :) As to anwser your question top i'm using Wallmaster Pro witch is a kickass program that will work on any version of windows i'm not sure if they have any non-windows version.

Pro is a trial/pay but they do have a freeware version that has set limts. The main limts is how many wallpapers you can have max. It's worth for it thou it's a sweet util very easy to use and like I said works on any version of windows. You can download it from download.com but the offical website is http://www.tropicalwares.com/wallpro.html
Hope that helps :)

Im eagerly awaiting Everquest 2, cause after the latest movie i saw from www.everquest2.com that included a talking dragon who was tougher then nails, I realized how cool a game this will be.

World of Warcraft just doesnt touch Everquest 2. I was a big WOW fan until i saw that video

Title: Teh desktop thread
Post by: karajorma on July 28, 2004, 11:07:07 am
Head Over Heels was a classic game from the days of the 8-bit computers (although there are versions for Windows, Linux and MacOS available from http://retrospec.sgn.net/index.php)  

The game was a 3D isometic game where you had to leap over spikes and avoid monsters to try to get Head and Heels home. It's basically a puzzle/platform game with lots of zany humour (for instance you can't shoot the enemies but you can spray them with the donut gun which makes them sit still while licking the sugar off themselves)

The thing that set it apart from other games of its type was that Head and Heels has completely different atributes (Head could jump further and higher while Heels was faster) and although you could swap from one to the other at will you needed the abilities of both to win the game. Best of all if you could get the two together (They started out in seperate jail cells) you could combine the two by getting Head to jump on top of Heels and you'd get a super creature with the abilities of both. :D

Basically I spent hours playing the game. It's one of the best spectrum games I ever played and although I did once manage to make it Freedom it was only by using cheats that I ever managed to achieve the ultimate goal of toppling the Blacktooth Empire
