I couldn't figure out how to take the screen shot and copy directly over to the TD forum. So, I e-mailed the pic to myself and then copied from the body of the e-mail. Yes, there are gaping holes in my computer knowledge

I got a bit bored today so I made some wallpaper, might not be to everyones taste but theyre one of a kind Melvbot originals.

The pix you see are a preview, click the link and save the file if you want them. The resolution is 1024 x 768

These images are unique, made with hours of sweat and toil from a complicated mathematical software program, I just push the buttons, it does all the hard stuff.

Download 'Electric Sheep' as your screensaver, it will produce far better results than your complicated mathematical program. It's great. Although respect due, if you enjoy popping out fractilized images for your DT then all fairness to you.

My current DT:

Rather boring and bleak as this is a company laptop hence some blurs as I don't want to disclose anything confidential.

**melvbot** · 15-01-2009, 10:48 PM

I just download the Genomes from electric sheep to play with. I like playing around with the buttons to see what they do, nothing more.

I've never understood this preoccupation with decorative desktops.
This is what mine looks like for abot the first two seconds my machine is up:

Two seconds later it looks more like this:

It will continue to get cluttered and overflow on to a couple more spare desktops.
If you use your machne to do anything other than look at the pretty picture, what's the point?

That's because you're a Developer/Programmer nerd

I used to manage a bunch Programmers and Designers, the difference in their desktops was worlds apart!

I AM NOT A NERD!!!
I'm a GEEK!
Sheesh!
