Dan’s Space on the Web

Nothing particularly special again, except Foobar. Posting it mainly for archiving purposes.

VS: Nion 2 – lassekongo83
Wall: Futura – Space by PaulEnsane
Foobar: FooNION – lassekongo83
MirandaIM: HUD Port by chaodam

Not shown: Launchy 2.0 (I’m going to stop including this)

1. Download the free program Command Line Wallpaper Changer and install (or rather, extract).

2. Control Panel > Scheduled Tasks

3. Click “Add Scheduled Task”

4. Click “Next”

5. Browse for CLWCP.exe (it’s wherever you extracted it to).

6. “Perform this task” however often you want, I have mine daily. (Time is set in next step)

7. Set the Start Time (time at which you want to change wallpaper). Leave the rest of the options, or change as you see fit. Click “Next”.

8. Fill out user name and password as needed. Click “Next”.

9. Check “Open advanced properties…” and click “Finish”.

10. In the Advanced Properties window: under the “Run” entry, add the path to the wallpaper you want to change at the end, putting in quotes if you have spaces.
eg. “D:\Customize\Command Line Wallpaper Changer Portable\CLWCP.exe” “D:\Customize\wallpaper\1 wp.jpg”

11. Click “OK”. Done!

Repeat 3 to 11 for multiple changes.

Nothing much to see here. I actually only changed miranda and the wallpaper since the last time. Also, I seem to have uploaded the screenshots but never posted it until now.

VS: SlanXP Edition 3 by lassekongo83
Wall: Futura – Space by PaulEnsane
Winamp: Big Bento (default with latest versions of winamp)
MirandaIM: HUD Port by chaodam and GoneDark for ieview
Rainlendar 2.0: default shadow skin

Again, I’m also running two other useful apps (that are not shown):
1. Launchy 2.0 , makes things a lot easier.
2. DesktopCoral , to allow my winamp to be visible at all times.

No, and that’s a MSN virus thing you got there. Received 3 of these so far.

oopz, i clicked it cuz i rly tot it waz mi pic
don’t worry, it’s not the end of the world. There are three things you should do immediately:

1. Exit MSN Messenger. You don’t want to keep sending out those embarrassing messages, now do you?

2. Google it. do a google search for exactly what the virus makes you say, and you’ll definitely find someone who’s already beat you to being hit and someone else who has found a solution. The internets is full of people like you. That’s how the virus reached you in the first place, right?

3. Download/Update/Execute your anti-virus software. This should usually clean up the mess, but I’ve come across a couple of cases where this didn’t work for some reason. Maybe the virus definition database was not updated in time. If it doesn’t work, try doing a spyware search & destroy.

If neither 2 or 3 works out, contact someone with moderate tech experience, before you accidentally break more things.

And in the future, please don’t be so click happy. If we avoid so many people getting infected, perhaps they’ll stop putting in that virus scan requirement.

Maybe ask the person who sent you the message about it, be like “wth how u got my pic”

“stalker.”

Two shots this time, the first shows an attempt at switching to foobar and miranda:

However school work got too heavy and I never completed the endeavor, so here’s what it’s been since then:

VS: SlanXP Edition 3 by lassekongo83
Wall: 1st – Request by chiwou 2nd – Great Wolf Shrine, Far Shiverpeaks (personal screenshot)
Foobar: Foo Slan3 by lassekongo83 (mod by me)
Winamp: Big Bento (default with latest versions of winamp)
MirandaIM: Mire v2 by asuraci (mod by me) and GoneDark for ieview
Rainlendar 2.0: default shadow skin

I’m also running two other useful apps (that are not shown):
1. Launchy 2.0 , an application launcher. hit alt+space to bring up the launch bar, then simply type in the first few letters of the program you want to launch. Also able to open files such as documents and music.
2. DesktopCoral , a tiny handy app that reserves space on your desktop such that maximized windows don’t cover this. I use this such that my winamp is always visible and in reach (at the top there).

freeware, all platforms.

finally, no more panicking to try and find something to get that report combined on time.

CONFIRMED: OC ReMixer Reuben Kee, 23, killed in boating accident

A great pity. He’s one of my most favourite remixers, and quite possibly the only good Singaporean video game/anime music remixer out there. Each and every one of his OCR’s have made my top list, as have a few more from his own site. Check out his OCRemixes at: http://www.ocremix.org/remixer/reubenkee/

VS: Default (Leopard OS X)
Wallpaper: one-a-day-#1 by colossus72
Adium: GAIA

Got a new macbook pro. Yep, beginning to use OSX. (I still love windows XP, but the macbook’s just blows every other laptop out of the water) As of now, Shape Shifter is not compatible with Leopard, so nothing much to do.

Things to do before I graduate and return to Singapore: “Borrow” a projector and console over a break – Check.

Completed Halo 3 in under 8 hours (on normal difficulty). “Criminally short”, to quote the Escapist, but still pretty awesome.  Nothing like blowing up a Covenant Scarab, and that last maul run is probably the best “omg-the-place-is-exploding-run” sequences I have ever played.

VS: SlanXP Edition 3 by ~lassekongo83
Wall: My ultimate by ~sliderPL
Winamp: Ebonite for Winamp by ~WinstonGFX
Icons: Guild Wars Dock Icon by =aphaits, Elements Icon Suite by ~pantoni
Rainlendar 2.0: default shadow skin

Heh, the real edition (as opposed to the Guild Wars Edition). Yea I actually had the GW Edition up for a few weeks, just never posted it, but decided that I should post it before I changed to a new setup.

Saw a friend’s Vista setup today and felt like giving it a shot. Finally moving away from Areao4! I like the VS + Winamp combination, but I think I may change the wallpaper. And I still kinda prefer Areao4.

And now it’s time to get some sleep.
