Look at my lousy desktop and be jealous
Sep 26, 2007 Blogging, Link Love
My good buddy Baron of Brown Thoughts tagged me with this little meme where I have to show off how my desktop looks. Fortunately it’s the desktop on my PC and not the desktop my PC resides on. No one wants to see that. Trust me. It’s not a pretty sight. Here’s my current desktop. It’s all nice and tidy, unlike that other desktop.
[TAG STARTS HERE]
My Desktop Free View Instruction:A. Upon receiving this tag, immediately perform a screen capture of your desktop. It is best that no icons be deleted before the screen capture so as to add to the element of fun.
You can do a screen capture by: [1] Going to your desktop and pressing the Print Scrn key (located on the right side of the F12 key). [2] Open a graphics program (like Picture Manager, Paint, or Photoshop) and do a Paste (CTRL + V). [3] If you wish, you can “edit” the image, before saving it.
For MAC users: Press [ Apple] [ Ctrl ] [ Shift ] and [ 3 ]
B. Post the picture in your blog. You can also give a short explanation on the look of your desktop just below it if you want. You can explain why you preferred such look or why is it full of icons. Things like that.
C. Tag five of your friends and ask them to give you a Free View of their desktop as well.
D. Add your name to this list of Free Viewers with a link pointing directly to your Desktop Free View post to promote it to succeeding participants.
List of those who have participated: Francine of La Place de Cherie Chez Francine Bloggishi Unchained Melody LadyJava’s Lounge Mariuca Revellian Dot Com|Desktop iRonnie Rebecca Jon Rolando Speedcat Brown Baron Ordinary Folk
add yours here after doing this tag.
[TAG ENDS HERE]
I shall tag the following five fine bloggers: Danielle, Teresa, Aaron, Polli and Bucky. Apologies if any of you have already been tagged ;)
When it comes to finding a search engine marketing company for those desktop illustrations you’ve created through photoshop tutorials, first you’ll need to find a dedicated hosting company. The director of a cheap web hosting company may offer great web design tips but its all a marketing technique. But these cheap web hosting companies do offer great web host services. Packages with cheap web hosting may offer the cheapest domain name in the net. So start off with a great web design and make some money.

Like that wallpaper. You got a really neat desktop there. I’m surprised hehe.
September 27th, 2007 at 1:20 am
So what are you trying to say, Baron? You expected I’d be a messy person? :P
September 27th, 2007 at 1:34 am
Haha, I run a few blogs and I find this to be a pretty cool idea.. but I’d NEVER show you my desktop right now, it’s a mess (and yes, I’m talking about the one on my PC). I’ve got so many folders that need to be organized and added to other folders… it’s a mess, I’ll jsut leave it at that.
Anyway, cool image on yours. If you’re ever looking for cool ones, check out NASA’s “astronomy picture of the day”… sometimes they suck, but a lot of times they’re really cool.

When I first saw this, it reminded me of a movie where a character said, “Everything’s so green!” Remember what move that’s from?
Reminds me, I gotta get my response to this tag out, too.
September 27th, 2007 at 2:23 am
That sounds really familiar but I can’t place it. What was it??
I just realized I forgot to link back to Baron when I made this post. Oops. Fortunately Wordpress has the handy edit feature :D

@Mike: It’s from History of the World, Part I when Mel Brooks plays the king and takes a “snort”. :P

@Marzie: This meme caught me on one of my tidier days :P
@Bucky: LOL, thank you sir ;)
@Bobby: haha…I tried linux briefly. It just wasn’t for me ;P
@Mark: Ahhh, a Mel Brooks flick. See I should have known that. I love his movies :D

I would like to see your real desktop :P
September 27th, 2007 at 4:07 pm
Your desktop is much cleaner than mine.
September 27th, 2007 at 6:02 pm
I didn’t know it was possible to not have dozens of folders…hmm…fascinating….
September 28th, 2007 at 2:21 am
Like Christy said, I didn’t know that it was possible to have a clean desktop heh. The only time my desktop is clean is …. um nevermind.

mike, how can’t you know what Compiz Fusion is?!?!
it’s frigging sexy, you’re lucky I wrote about it today, check it out to see what COMPIZ FUSION, really is :D
Linux is really cool now, not what it was even 1 year ago. The tough times are over!
October 3rd, 2007 at 10:33 pm
I would be really jealous, but I have a bunny rabbit on my desktop. Therefore, I’m not too jealous :)
I like your desktop. I’m not a big icon fan. I only like the icons that I absolutely need.
October 3rd, 2007 at 11:05 pm
Lol. I’m the same way about icons. Once things start to get even a bit out of hand, I start cleaning it all up =P
