Im going to try and hackintosh mountain lion on this baby later just to say I could...

R61 time:

I put Windows 8 Enterprise on the desktop.

Start menu is called Pokki by the way and it's free. I've customised it quite a bit since I uploaded these shots (I've added more programs to my favourites).









That desktop photo was taken by myself by the way using my Nikon D3200 D-SLR. http://www.flickr.com/photos/jasonbrown ... 2572902319

Got bored and made this, lol.

Nothing fancy. Its supposed to mean "Terrible things happened here" its a reference to the fact the computer is running Windows 8. Hopefully i didn't mess up too bad. My latin is, quite frankly, pathetic.

Took the photo a couple of days ago.

^^^ beautiful

Thanks. That's the city of Norwich by the way, where I live.

You can see more of my photography here if you are interested http://www.flickr.com/photos/jasonbrown2013/

Current wallpaper is one of Earth from space which I certainly did not take hahaha.

My T60 frankenpad, nothing fancy.

Photo taken by me the other day.

I prefer simplicity on my desktop. I love the greens in this wallpaper

Btw, its legit. Pinky promise. I just didn't have the patience to deal with MS after my SSD died, so I just cracked it.

My new X61T running Windows 7 Pro. The pic is one I took with my Galaxy S3 while on a recent hike last weekend.

Both photos taken by me, of course.

On my primary PC, the desktop on the secondary PC is the lock screen, and on my secondary PC, the desktop on the primary PC is the lock screen.

Moved back to OpenBSD for the first time in a couple of years. It now supports full disk encryption and KMS on Intel graphics. Everything works out of the box. The only thing I had to configure was suspend on lid close, which involved editing one file. Resume from suspend is instant.

I also regressed from Gnome3 to Xfce. There is nothing wrong with Gnome 3, I just wanted a change. Theme is Clearlooks, which is about ten years old, but it is a consistent look across Qt, GTK2 and 3.
