Geek poll: what do you have open?
May 21st, 2008
I love a good internet meme. So how could I resist playing along? I have only one instance of each of the following:
Evolution groupware suite
Liferea rss feed reader with over 100 feeds being updated regularly
Firefox, with five tabs
OpenOffice Writer
Conky, with custom settings that I like to play with
Tilda, a terminal that I have running on my desktop at all times, with transparant settings so it looks like part of my desktop wallpaper until I click on it and start typing.

I would like to see what that wallpaper looks like with your terminal embedded. I have been wanting to do this for a while but have not found a good wallpaper to make it work and look nice.

Ciego: your wish is my command.
Click for larger.

I created my own background image with a specific spot for the terminal in this shot. My backgrounds and themes change often, so if you look at the link below you can see some more examples.
link removed…same reason

I can see you MAC address matthew,haXXing possibilities are endless.
Oh and your public IP so now I can stalk you(even if IAM has dynamic IPs and I don’t have access to their logs)so now I can stalk you

nabil: doh! I know better than that. I forgot to clean the screenshots.
Fortunately, IAM does use dynamic IPs, and this is the MAC address for my laptop, which is only online when I am actually using it and would/could detect any attempts. Still…I have removed the images until I get around to cleaning them and uploading new ones.
Thanks…I didn’t even think to look, and usually I’m very good about stuff like that.

Okay, I cleaned up the images. Here is a repost of a safer version.
Like last time, there are more here.
