My Desktop

Posted June 26, 2008

This has been in my draft file,so i have finally got round to finishing this post.

Clicking on picture gives you a bigger picture with more detail.

This is the desktop I see when I first switch the computer on

Ubuntu Desktop

On top left is a facebook feeds

words next to Jack Nicholson is quote of the day which changes daily.

I don’t need to tell you what a calendar and a clock does do I ?

As you see here I am reading my gmail using Mutt which is the best mail client in

my opinion. N stand for new mail and D is to delete which I always delete anything from

RNID :-)

Top left is my facebook feeds which Mathew is taking the piss. I upgraded Ubuntu to Hardy Heron and for some reason colours got set to 256  instead of 16.million which of course I had fixed.

In this picture I am viewing my RSS feeds using Newsbeuter

After i highlighted and pressed enter to read post using newsbeuter in this case

I am reading the GOD blog.

Reading See Hear forum this way  as I find  the forum in ghastly colour

I will post more later on , as Newsbeuter and Mutt deserve a post of its own :-)

    When I clapped my eyes on the 1st pic, I thought…hmmm, nice….then I saw the apps you are using for RSS, email, etc….I thought….hmmmm, geek. I prefer something more user friendly than sticking to the UNIX terminal format for everything else.

    Mine’s still basic a la windows really. The computer is just a tool not an end in itself. I think the novelty of changing the screen every 5 minutes wore off after 2 days. I have icons to press on when I want to use a program, or go on the net, what else is there to want ? and, WHY do we want them ? D you have ‘open days’ so people can admire it or something :)

    I go for simplicity and not fancy graphics or icons :-)
