Yeah, it's similar to Samurize. Also, I looked that up and it seems like it's still supported...Phantasee wrote:Interesting. it's very similar to Samurize, then. Shouldn't be too hard to whip up some PNGs.

I've had lots of space backgrounds lately, mostly those Cassini shots of Saturn's moons.
However, after a particularly successful day, I decided to honour the Lord of Fear. That and I love the picture.

A decision must be made in the life of every nation at the very moment when the grasp of the enemy is at its throat. Then, it seems that the only way to survive is to use the means of the enemy, to rest survival upon what is expedient, to look the other way. Well, the answer to that is 'survival as what'? A country isn't a rock. It's not an extension of one's self. It's what it stands for. It's what it stands for when standing for something is the most difficult! - Chief Judge Haywood

My windows install went strange on me, so I installed ubuntu:
Until I figure out conky, I'm using GKrellM for a system monitor.

"The rifle itself has no moral stature, since it has no will of its own. Naturally, it may be used by evil men for evil purposes, but there are more good men than evil, and while the latter cannot be persuaded to the path of righteousness by propaganda, they can certainly be corrected by good men with rifles."

I don't actually know where it is, and it is a little stretched width-wise to fit, but it's a nice shot I found online somewhere.

Here's mine, the ex-USS Olympia which can be found at Penn's Landing, Philadelphia, PA on the Delaware River. I took the photo last month on a horrendously windy day.

Nice yacht. Reminds me (vaguely) of the yacht we see in The Island, that movie with what's-his-face and Scarlett Johanson.
