Put this vivid little guy on my work desktop this morning... yes, the temp here today really is what it says there.

Ironically, this happens to be the thirteenth desktop I've used for this laptop, which I thought was a funny coincidence, given the year. :P

And you changed your avatar back to what's his name the feline booze runner. Come to think of it, I haven't looked at Lackadaisy for at least two years...
My desktop is still the jaguar of odd cuteness (or cute oddness?)

This is a picture from Calgary, taken by a cousin of mine while she was visiting there. She showed it to me today and... well, the picture will speak for itself, otherwise this post will get very wordy! There's another one which would make a really nice desktop as well...
And yes, that sentence before the last one was a pun.

Anyway ...
Here's my Desktop for my latest Linux favorite Fuduntu (http://www.fuduntu.org/) which is a Fedora derivative polished to fit somewhere between Fedora and Ubuntu. I've really been impressed with it. I've pretty much ruled out using LXLE Lubuntu (http://www.lxle.net) due to some limitations and "quirks" that showed up.
The image I used is pretty cool, so I've posted the original image as well.

Here's the desktop for the Xubuntu system which looks pretty nice and a deeper blue in real life, and also clean.
... But Scyphi (http://www.planetdescent.net/index.php?action=profile;u=12) thinks it's ... boring. So today I changed it to this:
Here's the original.

Relates to a tumblr blog by same artist called "Moonstuck" (http://woonastuck.tumblr.com/tagged/archive/chrono/). It's no longer updating, but it's still a great read. Very silly and epic at the same time. But mostly silly. ;D

Props to whomever (other than Scyphi) can tell what it is in the pic.
Also, I'd post desktop pics of my latest project (a Linux based file server) but it's a "headless" server and all I'd be able to post is a blank screen with a couple lines of text. Not exactly post worthy viewing. :)

A large number of pixels of various colors and brightness.
Seriously though, I am sure I have seen that before but can't quite place it. Eve perhaps?

The hard part, is finding the episode where the pic takes place. I almost thought that pic wasn't actually in the episodes (I reviewed them looking for it) ... and then I realized it's there in an episode, but this copy is a mirror image.

"Aurora Class" is just what the humans call that ship design. They didn't know what the ancients called that style of ship, but they encountered the Aurora and after that they called that ship style "Aurora Class" just to simply say that it's a ship of the same design as the Aurora.
Man, I haven't visited this site in far too long.

The Orion? That was the name Shepard gave the ship they found in a hanger at the planet where the people were living on top of a huge volcanic caldera (which was going to explode soon) and were using Ancient technology to tap the power from the volcanic activity. Shepard picked the name spur of the moment for lack of any other name.
It was in need of lots of repair and without the "Ancient gene" none of the people could activate the systems. Along came the humans and Shepard (who has the Ancient gene) activated systems and Rodney Mckay got it running enough for them to ride the shock wave of the explosion of the volcanic caldera enough for them to then trigger the hyperdrive just enough to reach orbit. That was about all they could do with it at that point (because hadly anything was working). Doing that allowed them to rescue a whole bunch of people from the volcanic explosion which made the planet uninhabitable for many years.
That ship next appeared when they "borrowed it" to help battle a couple wraith ships. However they had a hard time getting the weapons systems to work (a lot of stuff still wasn't working on the "Orion") and shortly after unleashing a bunch of drones which took out a wraith ship, the "Orion" had suffered too much battle damage and had to be abandoned right before it was destroyed.
Funny, the episodes in which the "Orion" appeared never show any clips of the "Orion" entering hyperspace, only of the "Orion" exiting hyperspace. The pic I used is clearly a ship entering hyperspace.
... OK, time to get back on topic. ...
Hey Scyphi, that link goes to some pretty nice pics of the Orion. More desktop material. 8)

It's a little stretched in order to fit my desktop, but not noticeably enough for me to try and adjust it to fit better.
Post by: Kaiaatzl on August 21, 2013, 10:25:04 AM
I've had a few lately but this is the newest one.
I didn't stretch it, but if you look you can kind of see where I copied part of the purple grass to make it fit over my entire screen.

Even on the anime side, there's goin' to be the 'Origins' series, that I think it will bring some very nice and fresh air to the now boring and stagnant common series.
So, both are indeed pretty good news regarding Pokémon. :)

This new Mac is a pretty sweet system, plus it does what I need (that Windows and Linux can't very very well. "Joke"? In your dreams, buddy.
Heh, Got tired of that pic already. Now I'm undecided between two pics.
