09-10-01 Got sick of the lime green scheme I have been using, and switched to something with more purple. The background was Visiting Gamma Quadrant: Cellular Experience by dalinian (I actually think he also made the recent ones I've been using). The theme is Felix (good luck finding it on KDE.T.O 'cuz I can't find it now! ;-) So what's with the pastel-looking colors I've been using lately? Erm... Idunno.... I guess I'm just sick of all those dark schemes I've used in the past.... | |
08-16-01 Went away for a five day vacation and came back to find Tux Typing's status page reporting these numbers. Kind of blown away. Was not expecting this! ;-) | |
08-05-01 Been working on Tux Reader (no URL yet). So far, so good. It connects to Festival, init's everything.... all is kosher. Kind of pleased with the progress, so I took a screen shot. Here you see the loading screen (presently the only finished graphic in the game) as TuxReader sets itself all up, connects with festival, and inits festival. Verbose output was selected to show what's happenning. Pretty kewl, eh? | |
07-17-01 Alright, this is just showing off. I have been working on my own little theme for Tux Typing so that I can write a quick'n'dirty HOWTO for creating Tux Typing themes. My theme is an American Sign Language one, which can be found here. Anyway, this is a minor screenshot showing how the main page looks in Tux Typing(ASL). | |
07-14-01 Doing a bit of consulting for a friend of mine who runs United Financial Center Basically he has had a very non-compliant site up for a long time. This site was originally designed in MS FrontPage, and then possibly modified in another equally offensive web designing suite. This means that the site REALLY caused a lot of problems in non-MS browsers, and wasn't W3C compliant. So I took it upon myself to fix it. In this screenshot I have done that very thing, as you can see by 1) how the site is correctly rendered in Konqueror (Netscape still gives troubles :/) and 2) W3C's HTML/CSS validators report it has no errors!. This was a chore, and I was so thrilled that I took a screenshot! The repairs wouldn't have been possible without Quanta and W3C's awesome Tidy. | |
07-09-01 Well, after much debating and vacillation (can't you go blind from that?) I finally forced myself to do a complete system rebuild of my desktop. My desktop was in dire needs of an update, as I was still essentially stuck with RH6.2 (and didn't want to update to 7.0/7.1). So, I decided to take the plunge and rebuild with Debian (actually, I starded with a Progeny base and upgraded to the Debian testing branch (soon to be "Woody").) After mucho mucho toiling over the weekend (I wanted to do this right) I now have a very nice desktop (again). And here's the screenshot to prove it! | |
05-11-01 Just testing out David's awesome Tux Typing for BeOS port on my machine! Yes, that's right, this is a BeOS desktop and not Linux! I do use other OSes.... just not ones that suck ;-) Figured I ought to show some diversity on these screenshot pages.... | |
05-08-01 Again with the laptop screens! The deal is that my den (and computer room) AC has gone out (the pump has gone out) and pending it's repair, I have been working in the living room (under the main AC ;-) on my laptop. This screen shows me working on Tux Typing, while watching a Farscape DVD on VideoLAN (if you haven't tried it, you really should ;-) This is a particularily awesome episode (Throne for a Loss) where we get introduced to the Tavloids (*SMACK* TAVLEKS!) | |
04-22-01 Another laptop screen. Working on some Ghostwerks stuff. The main reason I felt keen on taking this shot was because I had just installed Enlightenment from source on my Peanut Linux based laptop. I know, that's not really much of an accomplishment.... But I felt it was important because I have never used Enlightenment without GNOME sitting on top. As a matter of fact, because of my sour experiences with GNOME and Enlightenment in the past, I had vowed never to put it on any of my machines, unless it got stable or I had to. Well... I had to for a project I am working on, but all I needed was GTK+ and Enlightenment. Needless to say, I was very impressed with how much better Enlightenment runs without GNOME. So... I was moved to take this snapshot! ;-) | |
04-19-01 Nothing fancy here.... just reading e-mail and junk. I really don't even know why I made this screen-shot.... except maybe because I felt it had been a little while since I took a desktop snap. |
