New Wallpaper: My 2-Computer Network & 100Gig Maxtor HDD

[Cyrus]

Just curious. This is my new wall paper. I got tired of my old one. I just bought a new Maxtor external hard drive that holds 100 gigs. I have two computers in my house networked, so I took ALL the files from both computers and put it on the external drive and made that drive on the network as well. That means I just cut down the files on my computers by 4 gigs wee! Now they run a little better. Here's what’s in my wall paper on my one computer:

Nice selection so far, well, except for mattmns. C'mon dude, put up a real wall paper on your pc. Sheesh.

You going to post that image

 

[Monique]

can't beat this one

 

[Cyrus]

Ouch that hurts my eyes Monique, that photo is terrible. Who ever shot that is an amateur! EWWW...

If you want a good nature picture let me know and I can provide you with one. (That one is composed REALLY BAD, its like trying to make your eyes crossed looking at it).

 

[Jelfish]

Whoa. Yeah - how does that blur not make you nauseous?

 

[Monique]

It's called 3d and I happen to like it , wouldn't want to have a flat picture.

 

[Cyrus]

Its not 3'd its field of depth, and its shot all wrong (They just adjusted the focal length of the lense)...Ill find you some pretty pictures and upload them for you. You will see the difference.

 

[Monique]

This one is nice too, although too busy for my taste:

 

[Jelfish]

Ooh I like that one

 

[TheStatutoryApe]

On my old computer I used to have some old pics of Marilyn Monroe and there was one I had for a while of a pretty girl wearing fairy wings and bondage tape(it was actually a very pretty picture). I also nabbed some cool pics from the solar observatory and used those. Now I just use the work comp and I have a moon pic. On my MySpace page I use the famous Ocean's Eleven pic with Deano, Sinatra, Bishop, and Sammy standing around the pool table.

Galaxies, galaxies everywhere - as far as NASA's Hubble Space Telescope can see. This view of nearly 10,000 galaxies is the deepest visible-light image of the cosmos. Called the Hubble Ultra Deep Field, this galaxy-studded view represents a "deep" core sample of the universe, cutting across billions of light-years.

The snapshot includes galaxies of various ages, sizes, shapes, and colors. The smallest, reddest galaxies, about 100, may be among the most distant known, existing when the universe was just 800 million years old. The nearest galaxies - the larger, brighter, well-defined spirals and ellipticals - thrived about 1 billion years ago, when the cosmos was 13 billion years old. [continued]

Here Monique, I can get more upon request...

See the difference a good composition makes!

The butterfly is a shot with field of depth that was taken properly

Right now its - http://www.peakware.com/encyclopedia/peaks/photos/images/chamlang.jpg

But I might pick a Hubble image.

For a while it was - http://www.physics.capcollege.bc.ca/stan/Earthrise%20from%20Apollo%2011.jpg

I wouldn't think of having either of those as a background. And the butterfly is the same, since the background is all blurry. At least with the pine branch you feel it is coming at you from out of the screen, the texture/lightening is also really nice.

Mines NGC 2070, the tarantula nebula.

I happened across this one searching for backgrounds. It replaced my klein bottle background, which I can't find anymore... oh well.

umm...no not really...the butterfly is composed properly, the tree is not.

This is my laptop. The wallpaper changes daily. Today I have my main man Elvis (Seal Point Siamese) helping me make the bed.

I like that one. Unfortunately, it looks like Graph Tree doesn't exist anymore.

Wow, that's an amazing site for wallpaper.

Search google images for "Error Island"

edit: nevermind. I guess it really isn't there anymore.

I agree, lots of cool wallpapers there. Here are my two desktops, the first is my Win 2003 and the second is my SUSE Linux (remote desktop). My SUSE Linux's wallpaper i actually got from deviantart, very cool.

 

[JasonRox]

Damn, I still have my Windows background that you first get.

I should change it to something else. Maybe something like...

"Get off the computer you bum!"

 

[Mk]

I like this one, of ferrofluid, but its not my wallpaper.

I love that picture of Ivan's I had that as my desktop for a while. It's the most amazing photo ever taken and can bring tears to my eyes if I sit and think about how amazing it really is. and I have 61 icons on my desktop. can't even see my wall paper anymore.

 

[JamesU]

I can't show you because neither of my computers is working, so I'm using my parents

 

[Gabrielle]

I've used this wallpaper every since I started using the Internet. I've tried others but I always go back to this one:

In addition to the Hubble site, try also - http://www.noao.edu/image_gallery/

for galaxies and nebulae.

Not bad coming from a free encyclopedia. There is a high-res version of that same image at http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/2/23/Lake_mapourika_NZ.jpeg

my wall paper wheels of steel!

 

[Cyrus]

MK, nice picture. It has good color contrast to it.

dumbadum, that’s a good big, clean picture.

motai, that’s a good one. Nicely composed, though a little boring.

Anttech, you have good taste. I love that abstract. Did you get it from fotocommunity?

 

[Anttech]

deviant art, Its a technics 1210.. might mean something to you if you like DJing :-). I have two of those babies sitting next to me ;-)

 

[Cyrus]

Just promise me never to mix that horrible european techno music. (or any techno for that matter).

 

[Anttech]

Actually I mix amoung other things Detriot Techno, the birthplace of Techno :-)

BUT before u go NNNNOOOOO... Its a very soulful music.. If u ever have the chance listen to it, especially Derek May Transmat stuff.. Electronic with soul :-)

 

[Cyrus]

I'll pass on techno....LOL It went out of style about the mid 90's for a reason. I'll give you some leeway, lounge is OK... like for example, theivery corporation.

 

[Anttech]

theivery corporation... Ahh you have taste!

Yes I like them a lot.. You should check out Rythm and Sound if you like them.. And wait for it, they are techno :-) what's called minimal dub-techno, a cross between Jamican Dub and electro.. I love it..

You are right sort of techno didnt go out style, but the modern stuff is crap.. I love all the old school late 80's early 90's acid stuff :-) saying that tho there is still some good stuff coming out of detriot and F-communications...

(Im listening to laurent Garnier right now :-) )
