ITS EVERYONES FAVOURITE THREAD

Its a folder that I cant move

You mean that windowzer won't let you move it? Or that you don't want to? If you want to move it, just boot into safe mode, then move

 

[PinkSpider]

hehe. Will do that next time I reboot (this could be in a while :s)

It might be easier to find out what is locking the file so it can't be moved - I used to get enraged when files mysteriously got 'used by another process'. Then I discovered Process Explorer.

 

[PinkSpider]

oooh nice app ^_^

You're running 1280x1024 on a 350Mhz machine? :blink:

Yeah, i have a semi ok graphics card so it doesnt run too badly. I *realy* dont like less than this tho. i wish i had a mega cheap option for a good pc. saving for a trip to australia now tho so funds are limited .

i prefer TaskInfo myself. a SHITLOAD of info about all running processes. yummy.

TaskInfo costs $$$ ($35 for TaskInfo 2003). Process Explorer does not.

[02:44] <|rico> jeg is asleep, but tell him i never hated his blackbox setup, but imo if he replaces all the major windows components with smaller, faster and more efficient ones...

i only replaced the shell. and i wasn't really that sad about people not liking my desktop at all, i was playing along i'm like the only one using this PC and i love the desktop, so lah.

This thread is great. Im looking at everyones desktops and seeing all the great software they use, and then I download warez versions of it.

I'd kindof agree, it's good to get some tips on cool software. I've been trying out

blackbox (nice - very slender shell - have to agree somewhat with jeghegy),
miranda instant messenger (much better than msn msgr but not perfect),
process explorer (well good, I've not visited sysinternals for a long time)

keep em coming.... oh and here's mine

nice to see another bb fan here.

I can't believe no one's using fluxbox here, it actually sent a tear to my eye
Here's my desktop, alone in the community

Thanks to ssh, I get to put all the bandwith on my bro's computer at college instead of my purdie pc

"The cieling needs painting," ejaculated the lust crazed Duchess as the cross-dressing paraplegic pothead masturbated with her jiggling chubbies and eased his rigid bowsprit into her tightly tensed swamp.

OMFG that is so hot


.... I dont use alternate shells because they tend to:

1) work slowly
2) not work properly
3) be poorly designed
4) not have features I need
5) all of the above

 

[Meonlyeviler]

Its a good thing that fluxbox isn't an alternate shell then, unless you mean that I should use just bare xwindows

 

[Delsabre]

....

bwah, youre using linux. cheater.

install Winblows, no pain no gain.

... or more accurately, lots of pain, mostly no gain.

 

[Meonlyeviler]

That screenshot is kinda cheating, here's what my desktop actually looks like most of the the time. http://pete.yi.org/~dan/clutter.png

 

[jegHegy]

fluxbox is becoming bloated with all the eyecandy stuff :/ (rounded edges on menus and whatnot) really the opposite of the whole blackbox-concept.

[02:44] <|rico> ... then he might as well use linux

miranda instant messenger (much better than msn msgr but not perfect)

The good points are custom nick renaming, and multiple clients. To make it worth your while I suggest the nConvers plugin and SmileyAdd, then you get emoticons, message history, auto 'last 10 messages' and autologging. Still better is Trillian: although commercial, it's a lot more responsive than Miranda and has a few more features like buddy icons and proper handling of group conversations.

an absolute shite thread

congrats cheeseman on the most gay topic i've seen here so far

getting a hardon over a desktop is a tad sad lads....
