Deus ex Machina Posted August 2, 2004 at 12:00 am

Description

This was my first real desktop layout after I got my new display, a 20" Dell 2001FP LCD. The monitor is gorgeous at its native resolution of 1600×1200, and this nice high-resolution wallpaper featuring artwork from Deus Machina Demonbane really brings out the crispness and rich color saturation that give LCD displays an advantage over CRTs.

Misintentions Posted July 2, 2004 at 12:00 am

Description

Ah, I just love playing with new software; I’m always looking for something new and cool to come along. Here, I’m using voice commands to navigate through my pictures from China. It’s a novel feature supported by FFView and it works to some degree.

The desktop picture is one of the many whimsical works from M’s collection. Deciphering his taglines is a job in itself.

Everyday Castaway Posted March 18, 2004 at 12:00 am

Fiddling with a couple of neat apps here: VoodooPad Lite and GeekTool. The G7 logo was adding using GeekTool’s image functionality; it is not part of the wallpaper.

Dark Lands Posted March 3, 2004 at 12:00 am

Description

Tsukihime was a dark, brooding series with a mix of action, fantasy, and romance. It’s a relatively short series, but I found it quite enjoyable, all the same. You’ll also noticed Darklands, a semi-historical RPG classic from my DOS days, playing on DOSBox, a very capable cross-platform DOS emulator.

Holiday Cheer Posted December 24, 2003 at 12:00 am

Description

It’s that time of year again and the talented artists have put out some great holiday works. The one you see here is only one of the many I’ve acquired. What makes this one special is that the author has provided multiple version including a Mac edition. From someone who uses a PowerBook this extra bit of effort is more than welcome. Good desktop pictures at the PowerBook’s native resolution (1280×854) are all too rare.
