We just have to keep batting the "colorful" and "techy" back and forth. It's become a tradition in this thread.

[securitybreach]

But of course. Thanks

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

[V.T. Eric Layton]

That is pretty cool looking... and techy. ;)Oh, and just when the coversation with cubi was getting good, you started redacting the lines.

Do what?THanks

[V.T. Eric Layton]

Well, it was a conversation with someone about hot sauce. Redacting = censoring, blanking out.

[securitybreach]

I had to, I think you know why. Thanks

[V.T. Eric Layton]

Must have been something naughty. You have to behave now that you're an "official" here at Scots.

[securitybreach]

On the contrary, it was very G-rated, Somethings are better left undisclosed. ;)Thanks

Cool SB! and techy. I admit I'm a sucker for pretty. Cool colours and translucency etc. I like the last few lines in the Arch IRC channel - "So sydney's not so great now?..........I wish I lived in Melbourne " So do I. Oh wait, I do!

Thanks. 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

My brother vacationed in Australia and New Zealand a few years ago. He said it was absolutely awesome. He brought me back a boomerang.

Cool!! I wish I had one Have you had a chance to go out and play with it.Thanks

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 )

Oh, no! It's a beautifully crafted piece of art on its own stand. I wouldn't even dream of throwing it around.

Did not think of that. Honestly I would not throw it either but it is definetly cool.Thanks

[V.T. Eric Layton]

Looks something like this one:

[securitybreach]

Wow!!! I can understand why you would not throw it. Was it made by the aborigine? That is really cool. Definetly a prized posession.Thanks

[V.T. Eric Layton]

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.

[securitybreach]

Either way its really nice. It does not have a made in china sticker does it? Just kidding , wish I had one.Thanks

[V.T. Eric Layton]

Nah... actually, it's signed by the artist/craftsman on the back.

[securitybreach]

Well then it is not a knock off.Thanks

[V.T. Eric Layton]

Nah... knowing my brother, he paid big bucks for it, too. Mine actually has a picture of a gila monster painted on it... like this one:

[securitybreach]

Awesome!!! Can you take a pic of it for us? Now you have me curious since it looks like a gila monster. Thanks

[sunrat]

The plastic one looks a bit like this one from Digital Boomerang SystemsAnd Gila Monsters come from Mexico, what is painted on an Aboriginal boomerang would be a goanna.Image thanks to livescience.com

And Gila Monsters come from Mexico, what is painted on an Aboriginal boomerang would be a goanna.

Learn something new everyday. Really neat picture. I wish I had one for a pet. Off to wikipedia to read up on them.Thanks

[V.T. Eric Layton]

Have to wait till I borrow my brother's li'l camera again. :)Hmm... sure looks like a gila monster. I'll take your word for it though, Sunrat, since you're in a better position to know than I am.

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

Looks a little like this one, actually...
