Thanks, Sapphire! How old is your dog?

Abbey is jsut over a year old... took a lot of effort in traning her since she is not into treats. Haley... well, she listens when she feels like it (guess that's a puppy thing... only 3 and a half months old).

New wallpaper, this time a screen shot from the upcoming game Ratchet & Clank Future: A Crack in Time. It's to be released this fall.

Zantor, your starcraft/broodwars icon looks different than mine. Why's that? Did you manually change it or is there a version out, I'm unaware of? Thanks!

It is Brood War, not the original; I shortened the title for my own liking. Since about v1.14, they've included a new icon, which is the sleeker looking Wraith for both the original and BW.

This is a cool Ubuntu feature that lets you drag windows with your mouse from one workspace to another.

Cool desktops, guys. I wish there was some good free virtual desktop software Winblows.

I changed my wallpaper, yet again:

To answer Issac's question, the \"battletech utilities\" folder refers to Battletech softwares such as Heavy Metal Pro (that lets you load and modify standard 'Mech designs and create custom designs prints out record sheets for game play plus Technical Readouts (TROs) and other forms - description from the Heavy Metal Pro cover) and other BT utilities such as Random Unit Selector (RUS).

Away from one of my most favorite games of all time becides Descent? Sure! We can handle it! As long as you don't click on the link! (you now know it's there! You cannot resist clicking on it now!) :twisted:

Then here's the one that I usually use. It was originally created by BUBBALOU. Sometimes I just like to turn off all of the icons and gaze into it.

NZ, just FYI: \"Keep the kitties away from AceCombat\" isn't about a game, it's a running joke that's been popping up around the DBB for years.

P.S. Don't ask for details, trust me.

Second Life and Dofus are the two games that I don't play. I don't have accounts in either one. 1 of my friends showed me Dofus, (which looks boring) and another friend installed Second Live which he played on when I was out doing something else for the day. (I wish Descent caught his eye first :P)

Byt hey, those icons are VERY organized icons! Top priority stuff goes in the top right. Regulars are in the middle to bottom right, and Useless/hardly used/work stuff goes to the left. I don't care for organizing the left.
