V.T. Eric Layton Posted December 14, 2009 Author Share Posted December 14, 2009 We just have to keep batting the "colorful" and "techy" back and forth. It's become a tradition in this thread. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

securitybreach Posted December 14, 2009 Share Posted December 14, 2009 My newest one: Its weird that the info script does not show the correct font, I might have to look at it. I use droid-ttf fonts not sans font as shown in the ~/.Xdefaults on the left side.Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

V.T. Eric Layton Posted December 14, 2009 Author Share Posted December 14, 2009 Well, it was a conversation with someone about hot sauce. Redacting = censoring, blanking out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sunrat Posted December 15, 2009 Share Posted December 15, 2009 Cool SB! and techy. I admit I'm a sucker for pretty.

The wallpaper is actually from a set of 3 wallpapers. Get em here: http://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=75664 As far as the colors and transparency, I use urxvt (rxvt-unicode-256) terminal with a custom colorset. My configuration is on the left side of the shot next to the irc terminal and also in my sig.As far as Australia, I would love to visit or move to Australia, I bet it is awesome. Although, the telcoms are doing some things I do not agree with there but everywhere has its ups and downs : http://www.efa.org.au/Issues/Censor/cens1.html Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
V.T. Eric Layton Posted December 15, 2009 Author Share Posted December 15, 2009 My brother vacationed in Australia and New Zealand a few years ago. He said it was absolutely awesome. He brought me back a boomerang. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sunrat Posted December 15, 2009 Share Posted December 15, 2009 The internet censorship has been a storm in a teacup. Sure they can order you to take down really bad content, but I think many countries do that. Several ISPs (I think 3) did voluntary testing of the Internet Filter scheme but dropped it really quickly as unworkable. A list of filtered sites was leaked much to Govt dismay.I sometimes go to a park with some friends and fly a plastic boomerang and frisbees. Lotsa fun! PS. It's a perfect 28C in Melbourne today. Don't mention tomorrow's forecast though (39 ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
V.T. Eric Layton Posted December 15, 2009 Author Share Posted December 15, 2009 Oh, no! It's a beautifully crafted piece of art on its own stand. I wouldn't even dream of throwing it around. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

V.T. Eric Layton Posted December 15, 2009 Author Share Posted December 15, 2009 I haven't a clue. It's probably some "made in china" knock off tourist crap, but it's really well made and looks hand painted. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
securitybreach Posted December 15, 2009 Share Posted December 15, 2009 Either way its really nice. It does not have a made in china sticker does it? Just kidding , wish I had one.Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or it could be Tiliqua rugosa, aka Stumpy-tailed Lizard or Shingleback, or a similar species.http://www.outback-australia-travel-secret...gue-lizard.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
