Here's two of mine (I don't want to boot my netbook up, just yet). The first one is my laptop, running Windows and Fences, and the second one is my server running mlvwm and sic (My super-text-based IRC client).

Ahh I've see you've been to suckless.org does sic really suck-less than other IRC clients?

That said it looks rather nice for a simplified setup.

I like it a lot, although others would hate it, I'm sure. I had to poke a few things to get what I wanted (Like, I had to add an action command, aka "/me", and a quote command, so I can say ":q NAMES #cemetech" to get the people in the room, and to do other, more complicated things). My favorite part of the client, really, is that I understand it, and it's super easy to store logs from. The last few lines from the screenshot, when sent to a file, show up exactly as they do there. And, since the logs are easy to read, there also really easy to parse with sed or some other regular expression matcher, so I can find what others have said a lot easier.

Also, FWIW, and I doubt anyone'll want it, I had to change a bunch of things to get mlvwm to work, so if anyone wants it, I can share what I've got. The documentation is long-gone, so I had to guess for a lot of it. (It'd also be nice to have other people using it so we can get a lot more of the bars at the top made, for things like File, Edit, etc for each window).

Edit: Also, with sic, the commands are odd. To join a channel, you use ":j #channel". The first channel you join, you are talking in, but if you join another (":j #another"), then you are still talking in #channel. To talk in the other one, you do ":s #another", and now you're talking in that one. So, when you are wanting to switch what channel you are talking in, you have to use ":s #blah" each time you switch. So, what tends to happen to me, is that I'll be talking in one, leave for a while, and then say something and it ends up being in the wrong channel, since there's no visual cue, or I'll accidentally forget that I had put a space before I left, and so it doesn't register as a command and I actually say " :s #another". This client has gotten me really fast at typing "#cemetech" (for the normal and staff channels), so that's an upside Like I said, I like it, but others will probably hate it

Well, I've gone through the long process of making Windows 7 customized completely so that it's Ashbad-optimized, so I can be really efficient in it. I've configured how I have my user directory setup so that everything is in an easy to reach directory, created quite a few nifty PowerShell (and batch equivalent) scripts in my user directory so I can do pretty much anything with just a few keystrokes, wiped out the desktop again (I started putting stuff there again, shame on me), changed my shell from Windows Explorer to #E, and many other things. I tried out #E simply out of curiosity, and was thinking of dumping it for its default design being so clunky and slow; after an hour or two of tweaking though, I cut out 80% of the components I would never use or added to the clunkiness, minimalized the design, and customized the remaining components for pure functionality, and this is what I came up with:



So far, the makeover has been rather swell, as I've gotten accustomed and efficient with my new workspace, more so than I was before it.

here is mine. I am using xfce with a wallpaper I made myself. I watermarked it because I am planning on selling the boombox graphic (not the whole wallpaper, you can get it if you want it by emailing me) so I hope you guys don't mind.

I just got bumptop and couldn't refuse showing it off!



icon stacks + fanning = win



hanging your photo on a 3d wall also = win




also winning = resizing icons, pinning icons to walls, throwing icons into junk piles, aligning normally, and alining piles on a slightly elevated grid (much like fences). I will love bumptop foreveh

That looks like FlyAKite OSX, a set of skinning tools to make your Windows look like OS X. I tried it out back in the day, I'm ashamed to say.

Actually, I used Custopack with a Mac OS X Lion theme. I got tired of it though.

cuz mac is pretty, but completely useless to people who aren't developers.

I'm attempting a little experiment to see if I can setup my pc to boot Windows 7, Mac OS X Snow Leopard, and Ubuntu. It probably won't be easy, but I'm sure it's possible.

EDIT:

I found this site if anyone else wants to check it out. It shows how to setup your pc to boot Win7, Mac OS X Snow Leopard, and Ubuntu http://www.tonymacx86.com/viewtopic.php?f=81&t=20872&start=0

I've had the OSX 10.6.6 retail for a while, but I need to finish downloading Ubuntu and buy a DL DVD to try it out. I'll feedback once I've tried it out.

Clicky!


Desktop of my work laptop. I really want to rebuild my old laptop so I have a Windows 7 PC again!


OS X is difficult to set up on anything other than Mac hardware, and that was by-design. However, I have heard a number of people get it running. I just know you've gotta tweak it a bit.
