Opps! I forgot too! *Changes Desktop picture*

Here's my desktop's image. http://home.teleport.com/~daberle/s3d/s3dxmas.jpg (Shrunk to 640x480 from 1024x768). It's based on an original image by GlassShard but I extended the sides to make it fit the desktop.

Next year, I plan to set up Xmas lights in my room, and hook them up to my computer so they blink according the song I play in Winamp. (And don't tell me it's impossible, I saw it on The Screen Savers on Tech TV the other day!)

Heh-I didn't have anything, but I do now...

Heck, the thought never entered my mind to search for an anime background-most xmas desktops are corny and pretentious.

Sadly, I have an ornament of a mouse(rodent) "surfing" on a mouse(input device) sitting on my case. My mom gave it to me last year.

Actually, the instructions should be on http://www.thescreensavers.com. I'm gonna go there and try and grab the instructions.

Here's the link to the site that'll tell you how to do it: http://www.luminus.cx/projects/chaser/ Enjoy!

Merry Christmas/Happy Holidays! (Damn, I need to get to sleep before Santa comes.... ;) )

Very Nice Alhexx... I once Recreated that shot using Counter-Strike. All you see is a terrorist & his huge gun pointing a bit off to the left, ala the Matrix. I might post an image of it later.

Hope you all got want you wanted for FFXmas! ;)

Hmm... C++ Book eh? Cool. I'm trying to learn C++ using a copy of Sams "Teach Yourself Visual C++ 6 in 21 Days" that I downloaded off the net a week or two ago. (I'm only on day 3, about to start day 4... I need to continue with that so I can get Kefka rebuilt...)

And no Joey, I don't remember where I got it, and it's too big for me to email it, so please don't ask.

just move that little pentium you have in the back room and bring it out near your main one. oh and why don't you use your ISDN line on your main computer? firewall issues?

ok i downloaded and installed LS. I have win2kpro :( . i set LS only to run under my user. I have photoshop so i'm kind of worried about that one. I'm gonna go look at the FAQ's, but just to get a head start how do you change backgrounds?

Don't move this to the spam forum . . . this is a very good thread.  I've been wanting to mess around with LiteStep for a long time now, but never got around to it.  I think you've just re-sparked my interest.

Post by: Darkness on 2001-12-31 15:08:00
