*Haven't Seen One of These In a Time--Post a Screenshot of Your Desktop!*

[WritingIsMyReligion]

I'll start:



This is a painting of Duke Ellington I found via Google Images....I like very much!

In case you don't know how to take a screenshot but want to post...There should be a Print Screen button somewhere on your keyboard...On my Dell 'board, it's right near the Num Lock/Caps Lock/Scroll Lock lights. Pressing "Print Screen" takes the shot...you then paste it into an imaging program, save it, upload it to photobucket, etc., etc., etc...

:D

[Call Me Wesley]

1. Mine is just a recent Hubble picture,

but I've made one for Heidi's laptop she'll encounter tomorrow since it's her birthday. Along with many, many obnoxious wav files which will trigger when she uses it. But shhhh, she doesn't know yet. :rofl:

[WritingIsMyReligion]

2. LOL!

You're too much, CMW!

:D

[Call Me Wesley]

5. That's what Heidi will tell you

tomorrow ... :evilgrin:

[Richard Steele]

3. I think I've posted this photo before...

But my current desktop wall paper is my cat, Colonel Thompson:

[WritingIsMyReligion]

4. That's adorable!

:thumbsup:

7. What the HELL is that, Hypno?

:rofl::rofl:

[Deja Q]

20. Something similar to these (pic heavy)

[WritingIsMyReligion]

22. You're a wretch, you are.

:hug:

[Deja Q]

25. Yes, and all I need is a good... social life.

I must be an eternal wretch. :rofl:

[WritingIsMyReligion]

29. I'm lacking in social skills, as well.

:toast:

;)

[zanne]

137. Son, you just need to talk to a nice...

professional person about your feelings.

[BlueStorm]

113. LOL!

:rofl:

I just cracked up at your pics!!

BTW have you ever put those Peeps in the microwave and heated them up? It makes for great entertainment.

Blu

[BattyDem]

85. Those poor little peeps, LOL!

:rofl:

[SofaKingLiberal]

WTF?

:spray:

[spindrifter]

123. Just a question--did you

put those peeps things in the microwave?

[zanne]

136. Don't know why, but I almost split a gut on that one.

Why are people so mean to Peeps? What have they done to invite such abuse?

[TheFriendlyAnarchist]

8. Well, i can't figure out where it's saving the screenshot, but here's

my back ground

Or, somtimes



and occasionally



I like variety :)

[WritingIsMyReligion]

10. Those are wicked awesome pictures!

:thumbsup:

[Ptah]

9. The Horsehead Nebula, wide screen:

[WritingIsMyReligion]

11. Niiiice...

:D

[Ptah]

12. I've seen that Indigo somewhere

[WritingIsMyReligion]

14. Haha!

Yeah, I got the idea from you.....

:evilgrin:

Whaddya wanna make of it?

:popcorn:

[Ptah]

17. One of the things I like about the lounge is,

I can post a request on progmom's radio show
thread, and someone will enjoy my contribution
enough to remember it.



What do I want to make of it?

Hmmm.



I'm thinking of asking her to play some Sarah Vaughn next Staurday.

See ya then.

:hi:

[WritingIsMyReligion]

18. Broken pics, Ptah....

Though maybe that was intentional... :P

I'll definitely try to tune in there...

[Ptah]

24. I think I fixed the broken stuff.

If not, please enjoy this:


and this:

[WritingIsMyReligion]

27. Niiice.

:D

:hi:

[arwalden]

13. Is This What You Had In Mind?

[WritingIsMyReligion]

15. Omigosh.

Is THAT seriously your desk?

:scared:

:popcorn:

[arwalden]

16. No... Mine is WORSE!

Ha! Actually... I just did a google-image-search using the words "messy desk" and that one was the 2nd photo that was listed. Pretty bad, isn't it?

[WritingIsMyReligion]

19. It's horrid.

:rofl:

[spindrifter]

124. That's bad--but you should

see my boss's--the secretary literally scoops stuff into huge cartons once a year or so. Then he goes berserk because he can't find the one thing that might have been in those boxes. No one dares ask where they get sent....

[zanne]

138. You make me feel better about myself. nt

[MiniMandaRuth]

21. Just changed mine....

[WritingIsMyReligion]

23. Whoa....Verra nice, MMR!

:D

[MiniMandaRuth]

26. I change it once a month or so.

[WritingIsMyReligion]

28. I JUST put the Ellington on mine about five minutes before

starting this thread....

:blush:

I had the default-boring "sunny day" one. :D

[MiniMandaRuth]

31. I think that picture is lovely...

This might be my next one...

[WritingIsMyReligion]

32. I saw that un....

Good choice.

:thumbsup:

[BattyDem]

86. Yours is pretty ... I like all the vibrant colors

I change mine every month or two as well. I get bored. :-)

[Ptah]

30. That is stunningly beautiful

Please share where that beautiful scene is.

:hi:

[MiniMandaRuth]

33. Got it off snopes...

here's the link....

http://www.snopes.com/photos/natural/flowers.asp

Love to go there someday...

[WritingIsMyReligion]

35. That WOULD be wicked cool.

:D

[WritingIsMyReligion]

34. Yeah, and Ptah doesn't say beans 'bout MINE...

:cry::cry:

Well, except to gloat on how he found it for me....

*whistles innocently*

[MiniMandaRuth]

36. Hey, I had that pciture a while back...

or something extremely similar. Have you seen the photos of the 'Gods Eye' nebula? Stunning stuff.

[Ptah]

37. My bad

Well I lay my head on the railroad track
Waiting on the Double E
But the train don't run by here no more
Poor poor pitiful me

Poor poor pitiful me
Poor poor pitiful me
Oh these boys won't let me be
Lord have mercy on me
Woe woe is me

[WritingIsMyReligion]

39. Whoot!

:bounce:

[Ptah]

43. Here's a closeup:

[WritingIsMyReligion]

47. Massively cool!

[northzax]

73. is that Big Indian Canyon, at Steen's Mountain?

I have a painting of that my stepmother did above my desk...

[ghostsofgiants]

38. As of 20 minutes ago...

[WritingIsMyReligion]

40. Wicked awesome!

:thumbsup:

[ghostsofgiants]

41. Thanks.

I designed the wallpaper myself.

[purr]

42. Hes 2 months older now.. I gotta put a new one on

[WritingIsMyReligion]

46. It's still adorable.

:thumbsup:

[purr]

61. Thanks :)

[WritingIsMyReligion]

63. Looks it to me.

[Maestro]

58. That is one happy kid!

You have a cutie!

[purr]

62. Hes ALWAYS like that...

constantly smiling and laughing.. he even laughs like hell when you lay him down to change his crapped pants :rofl: Out of my 3 kids he has to be the most pleasant child out of them. Thanks :)

[Maestro]

74. I still love your Osiris too

but we could never have one where we are in this sort of rural area. I'm afraid roaming dogs or coyotes would get it.

[purr]

76. A Sphynx?

Cant let them outside so he'd be safe. They get cold real fast and can get sunburned easy too.

[Maestro]

78. Good point.

I didn't think of that.

[BuddhaGirl]

44. San Francisco morning

taken from Marin:



on edit: why is this so tiny? this is my first time using Photobucket

[WritingIsMyReligion]

50. I don't know beans about why it's so small...

(Sorry 'bout that :()

but it's a gorgeous pic nonetheless!

:D

[BuddhaGirl]

70. why thank you!

:-)

[RoyGBiv]

77. A guess ...

The pic may have been larger (in KB) than what photobucket allows for individual pictures. If so, it resize the pic, and the result is usually something really small like that.

[giant_robot]

45. My desktop as of 5 minutes ago...

[WritingIsMyReligion]

48. Ha!

:rofl:

[zanne]

139. Gee, GiantRobot....

Do you like to play poker?

[deadparrot]

49. Mine:

[WritingIsMyReligion]

51. Whoa....Where is that????

It's beautiful!

:D

[deadparrot]

52. Italy.

Maybe around Sorrento, I think...? I went to Italy a couple years ago, so that pic always reminds me of it.

I'm in the rural hell of Missouri, so it's nice to dream. :hi:

[WritingIsMyReligion]

53. Dreams are good....

:D

:hi:

[BattyDem]

87. Wow! That should be in a travel guide ...

it's beautiful! :-)

[deadparrot]

90. Isn't it?

I wanted a new desktop, and searched through tons of sites for decent pictures of Europe. I saw this one and just thought "Damn...that's it." :hi:

[ZombieNixon]

54. Stuff...løts øf it:

[ZombieNixon]

59. Å gåme engine.

I'm not good with coding....

:scared:

[Rabrrrrrr]

55. heh heh -

[WritingIsMyReligion]

57. I should have known.

:P

[LynneSin]

64. Here's mine!!!

Come one, who did you expect to see on my desktop

:eyes:

I have about 5 various pictures of him, currently using this one!

[WritingIsMyReligion]

65. LOL--Just what I'd expect.

:thumbsup:

[LynneSin]

66. This is my usual one

Classic shot from the 70s

But honestly, the guy has gotten so much better looking with age :loveya:

[WritingIsMyReligion]

67. Nice shot indeed.

:thumbsup:

[WhollyHeretic]

68. Mine...

[WritingIsMyReligion]

69. Ah, yes....

[Maestro]

71. Here is mine for now.

[WritingIsMyReligion]

93. "Stop using Jesus as an excuse for being a narrow minded bigoted asshole."

:rofl::rofl:

[Maestro]

127. Yeah, too many on the right do that.

Poor Jesus. I'd bring a can of whoopass on them if I were he. :)

[RoyGBiv]

72. Smooth Tux ...

[Maestro]

75. Is that Linux with attitude?

:rofl: Looks slick!

[BattyDem]

88. Ooooh .. I like that!

:toast:

[WritingIsMyReligion]

94. Hehe.....

;)

[BreweryYardRat]

79. All my icons clutter the pic up, sooo...

[WritingIsMyReligion]

95. But that's a very cool pic!

;) ;)

[Fenris]

80. O-K

[WritingIsMyReligion]

96. I always loved that painting.

:D

[GalleryGod]

81. Here's Mine. Wish I could've been there.

[WritingIsMyReligion]

97. Ooh yeah....So do I.

:D

[newportdadde]

82. Whats that weather forecast app I keep seeing on everyones desktop?

Looks kind of interesting and seems to be popular

[BattyDem]

89. It looks like the Yahoo Weather Widget

http://widgets.yahoo.com/gallery/view.php?widget=38248

:-)

[WritingIsMyReligion]

98. I dunno....

:shrug:

[BattyDem]

83. Here's mine

It's a 1967 picture of British actor Terence Stamp. :loveya: It was originally a black and white photo ... but I couldn't resist adding his trademark blue eyes. :-)

[WritingIsMyReligion]

99. That is VERY awesome!

:loveya:

I love the eyes!

[BattyDem]

125. Thanks!

I love seeing those blue eyes stare at me when I sit in front of my computer first thing in the morning. It's a better "pick-me-up" than coffee! ;-)

[DS1]

110. Ahh, Zod in his younger years, before he became Ruler of Houston

[BattyDem]

116. Shouldn't that be PLANET Houston?

;-)

By the way ... Zod's running for President.

http://www.zod2008.com/

Vote for your ruler

When I first came to your planet and demanded your homes, property and very lives, I didn't know you were already doing so, willingly, with your own government. I can win no tribute from a bankrupted nation populated by feeble flag-waving plebians. In 2008 I shall restore your dignity and make you servants worthy of my rule. This new government shall become a tool of my oppression. Instead of hidden agendas and waffling policies, I offer you direct candor and brutal certainty. I only ask for your tribute, your lives, and your vote.
-- General Zod, Your Future President and Eternal Ruler


It sounds like he wouldn't change any of BushCo's policies! :P

[DS1]

117. Yes, but Zod doesn't have to say Planet everytime, does he?

[BattyDem]

118. He's Zod ... he can say whaever he wants, LOL!

I was just reading his campaign platform. As crazy as it sounds, we may be better off with him than we are now.

Universal health care -
Even a criminal like myself is shocked that millions are not able to get health insurance and cannot pay for basic surgery. Who are these power brokers that allow the pigpen to become wormy and filthy? I demand your very lives, but I am not such an imbecile as to institutionalize suffering and poverty. You have my assurance that this shall change swiftly.

Eliminate the Iraq War -
The Iraq War has shifted $187 billion to the defense industry. How is this "defense industry" to kneel before me? Are my praises to be sung as footnotes in their paperwork? You will stop giving these corporations your wealth. I suggest you put the money into your own schools and health care, so that I may have intelligent, healthy servants. I will indulge your wishes if you all want a Westernized, unpopular regime in Iraq, and I too shall gloat in its troubles, but it will not be done at my expense.


Ok ... so his ideas may not be perfect, but it sounds like a good start. Now if only we can get him to let go of the "you are my servant and you shall worship me" crap! ;-)

[datsafact]

84. Mine

[WritingIsMyReligion]

100. Mac user, I see....

;)

[ChoralScholar]

91. Mine... featuring a picture of Lake Norfork in Northern Arkansas.

[BattyDem]

92. That's a nice picture ... did you take it?

:-)

[ChoralScholar]

121. Yes I did...

on my trusty HP Photosmart 305.

[imperialismispasse]

101. It's the most wonderful time of the year

Can't post my desktop because of security stuff at work but this is the picture:

[WritingIsMyReligion]

105. Niiice.

;)

[imperialismispasse]

107. I'm getting excited already

I wish it would hurry up and warm up already. :D

[WritingIsMyReligion]

108. Yeah, 'tis pretty effing cold here, too...

:scared:

:D

[City Lights]

102. Mine is a picture of Watson, whom I miss terribly.

[BattyDem]

103. He was beautiful!

:hug:

[City Lights]

104. Thanks.

:hug:

He was a beauty. Inside and out.

[WritingIsMyReligion]

106. What an adorable kitty!

:loveya:

I'm very sorry you lost him.

:cry:

:hug:

[City Lights]

119. Thanks.

:hug: It was such a shock. He wasn't even sick. The vet thinks he had heart disease. :cry:

[WritingIsMyReligion]

120. Awww...That's terrible!

:hug:

[_testify_]

132. Feline Cardiomyopathy?

I lost 2 sweet, young cats to cardiomyopathy. There are few ways to spot it until it's too late. Both my kids were gone in 48 hours from the first display of symptoms.

I'm sorry for your pain - he looks like he was well-loved. :hug:

[City Lights]

134. I'm sorry for your losses as well.

It hurts so much. :hug:

Watson acted totally normal the day he died. We have another cat who was sick (Mozart) and was being fed through a feeding tube every four hours. I found Watson with his head hanging over the side of the cat tower when I got up in the middle of the night to feed Mozart. We weren't sure Mozart would pull through (vet gave him 50-50 chance), and then had to deal with Watson's unexpected death. Mozart is now eating on his own and his tube is gone.

[Lorien]

129. What a beautiful boy he was

simply stunning. He looks a lot like some of my Maine Coon's grandparents.Here's my big boy, who I got after losing another kitty-my best friend Peewee-to cardiomyopathy.I know what you're going through. :hug:

[City Lights]

130. Thanks, Lorien.

Your cat is gorgeous. I :loveya: Maine Coons. Watson was our first. Our other 6 are shelter kitties. Watson was the most tolerant, gentle, loyal cat I've ever had the pleasure of loving. Your cat reminds me of another Maine Coon we fostered. I'll try and find a picture and post it later. :hug:

[Lorien]

131. They are a remarkable breed

I'm sure your other kitties miss him too; MCs just seem to adore everyone. :hug:

[BigMcLargehuge]

109. mine (changed today)

[otohara]

111. Geisha or Prostitute?

I bought these lovely post cards when I was in Japan thinking they were geisha's. Not so, turned out they were prostitutes.

Nice desktop BTW....love all the little icons. Did you find them somewhere - may i ask where?

[BigMcLargehuge]

112. Gosh Otohara, it was a year or so ago when I found them

I still have them here if you want to IM me I can transfer them to you. They are free licenced so it is legal to give them away. I googled Hiroshige Toons (which is the name of the icon set) and came up with a couple of Korean Language BBS listings, but no link to the files.

[WritingIsMyReligion]

114. Very cool.

:thumbsup:

[BlueStorm]

115. How do you print a screenshot of your desktop? n/t

Forgive me for I am so computer illiterate.

Blu

[BattyDem]

128. Hit the "print screen" key on the keyboard ...

then open up a graphics program (if you're using Windows, Paint will work just fine) and hit Ctrl+V on the keyboard (or click "Edit" then click "Paste").

Save the picture as a .jpg file.

Then upload the picture to one of those free photo hosting sites, such as Photobucket.com, and post the link so we all can see it. :-)

[BlueStorm]

140. Hey thanks!!

Now I am going to have to try it.

Blu

[spindrifter]

122. Very cool painting!

[WritingIsMyReligion]

126. Ain't it?
