Saw Angie’s blog post which made me wonder why i never did do this =/, so here I am posting about my Laptop’s desktop. My PC at home has almost the exact same setup (desktop and taskbar-wise) with the exception of a few gadgets missing/extra. So yea they’re almost clones of each other lol. So let’s start shall we?

I think one of the first things that’ll come to your mind when looking at the first pic, is how my desktop is devoid of any links, shortcuts or files. One of the main reasons in keeping it so is because a cluttered desktop just make startups slower. So for those of you complaining of slow startups, try uncluttering your desktops and see whether it helps. Of course, having it sooo bare makes it seem nicer, neater, and allows you to fully appreciate the wallpaper =D.

So anyway my current theme has a wallpaper of a Saber Fanart drawn by a fellow singaporean, xephonia, entitled King of Knights, and it is really a work of art. So the theme also sports custom colours for the desktop and Aero interface (though the Aero Colours are hard to see due to it being similar to the desktop background). Sound scheme is a slightly modified version of the Windows 7 Nanami Madobe theme’s sound theme. If you guys like what u see and want it, the theme can be downloaded here[WINDOWS 7 ONLY].

2nd pic would be of my Taskbar. As of Windows 7, we can now pin programs to it, making it easier to find and start programs that we normally use. But unless u know what the icons mean, heres a brief run through of what are on my taskbar.

  • Google Chrome

My web browser of choice. What’s more to say about this minimalistic browser from internet giants, Google? Blazingly fast with features like the omni-box and even bookmark sync. It even caters to Otakus/Anime Lovers by having themes like Miku, K-ON! and even Good Smile Company

  • Winamp

My Music player. Although Windows Media Player plays almost anything now with the awesome codec from Shark007, FLAC playback support on it still is a drag, Hence I’m now using Winamp for all my musical needs.

  • MSN Messenger

My Default IM client. Just because most of my peers and family use it. I use it for video calls too.

  • Skype

Another IM client. Though I use it for the mass chat sessions and the occasional karaoke sessions.

  • Windows Live Mail

Default Mail handler. I can read my mail faster and easier than opening my web browser. Not to mention the other features like Windows live Calender and it being a  RSS feed reader. Kinda wished gmail worked better on it though. Might just switch to thunderbird and lightning though =/

  • Steam

Quoted from wiki

Steam is a digital distribution, digital rights management, multiplayer and communications platform developed by Valve Corporation. “

So seeing as to how i play games developed by Valve (L4D2 and TF2), It’s no surprise that i have this. I use it to lanuch other games as well.

  • uTorrent

It’s lightweight and it downloads fast. It’s no surprise why it’s my torrent client.

  • Sticky Note

I use this to take notes/to-do/what-to-do lists. You can see it in action near the top left hand corner of my desktop screen-shot.

But then, you might ask “where in the god forsaken world is the bleeping taskbar?”. Well my taskbar is hidden to prevent it from taking up my precious desktop space. So enter picture 3, where you see the taskbar unhidden and in all it’s glory. I experimented with placing it on the top at first, but I found it to be restricting as it might block the maximize/minimize/close buttons for the windows. So now it’s permanently at the left side of the screen.

Ok thats it for my tour of my desktop, gotta go back to work (seeing how killer my Common Test timetable is @_@)

OMG. Just received our common test and it’s really a killer DDD=. Plus the fact I’m helping out with two shoots the weekend before that week OTL. I really should start now.

Just found out about this handy little tool today. It lets you sync your files to any computer you want securely, great for a business man who needs some important document as he goes on trips and such. Also good for me to let me place whatever downloads i make in sch on my laptop, or at home on my desktop like pictures and stuff, so that i can transfer these files at leisure instead of transfering it. If you still don’t get what this is about, Hit the link and watch the video!

Green.

So today was a blast, between leading cell and the Lan Session, it was really fun.

But really the highlight for the day was Aaron’s *cough* haha. They’ll MOST PROBABLY get together. But still, I’m a lil green with envy though. Cause it’s robably something i won’t get to experience. but nvm ._.

On a side note I should sleep soon.

Quote from the Facebook group

“I have been with my girlfriend (Caroline) for over five years now. Six months ago, I made a proposal to her, but she rejected me. It was not about the amount of money that I have in bank or my ordinary look. I asked her why but she refused to tell me. I suspected that there was a third person in our relationship but I realized that it wasn’t.

Two weeks ago, I proposed to her again. This time I brought her back to the place where we first met and I thought that I would succeed this time, but…. yet again I failed. She rejected me and this REALLY drove me mad. I love her very much, I can even give up my soul for her but why??

Then she told me that if I can get 1,170,000 people to back me up with my proposal, she will put on the ring. 

This is ridiculous as where could I get such number of people but soon I realized that Facebook is the hope. I was reluctant at first because the whole world might laugh at me.

You can call me a fool or anything but I don’t care anymore because for her I’ll do anything. This group was born out of my LOVE to her.

You might be wondering why 1,170,000? 

Well, We met on January, 17th, it was simply our anniversary date and to her (and me) this is a BIG Day!

I hope that you could help me to achieve the DREAM of my life. 

It would be really helpful if you can leave some messages on the wall. So that I could prove to her that my LOVE is real. 

Note: Would you please ask your friends to help me on this, I want to speed up this process so that I would at least get married on Jan 17th, 2010. Just click on the ‘Invite People to Join’ and select All your friends and I really thanks you for that. 

“Caroline, I love you!” “

So yea HIT THE LINK AND JOIN!!!!

Changes

So as you guys would have noticed, I’ve changed the blog abit, using a theme that has better disqus comments intergration….Plus the fact my previous theme was acting up no doubt due to my meddling with it’s code. So how do you guys like it?

Don’t hate me just cause i’m cooler than you.
