Desktop icons without text

iktie — Tue, 22 Jul 2008 16:26:32 +0000

How a user sets up their desktop is strictly a matter of personal preference, but if you’re looking for a very clean, streamlined look then consider removing the text from desktop icons. Since this is tweak has to be set individually for each icon, shortcuts that you save to the desktop temporarily before deleting or finding them a permanent home will still be easily identifiable by their text titles. To implement the tweak:

Right click the icon and select [Rename] or pres F2
Name the icon Alt+255 and hit Enter
( this means you hold down the Alt key and type 255 then release the Alt key )
The text will be gone from the icon.

For each successive icon to have the text eliminated, repeat the above sequence adding an additional Alt+255 sequence. For example, the second no text icon would be ‘renamed’ Alt+255 Alt+255, the third no text icon Alt+255 Alt+255 Alt+255, etc.

Well, well, well. 100 hits on this blog. I wonder who these people are. I never told anyone about this blog. Sure, I gave some hints here and there. It’s probably all because of my werchter-post, with google and all.

Going diving tomorow. At nemo 33. More info can be found here. It’s only the deepest swimming pool in the world! Hopefully I won’t get drunk on the bottom, also know as getting narked. It’s a diving syndrome, look it up. pretty shitty feeling, I can tell you that. Hope it doesn’t happen again.

Sigur Ros Werchter 2008

Day 3, Werchter 2008, Radiohead. But most off all: Sigur Ròs!

Not the best setting for a Sigur concert but with a big crowd, a sun that was setting and a few trompets they had brought with them, it became a masterpiece. I think I must warn you now that this review will not be the most objective one.

The lead singer, Jonsi Birgisso, who is a bitt cross-eyed, began the concert with Svefn-g-englar, a song from the movie Vanilla Sky. The band played songs from different albums, mostly from takk… and their last Með Suð í Eyrum Við Spilum Endalaust. Their last single Gobbledigook, recieved an extra moment where when the song bursted the band ignited a confetticanon. A surrealistic view!

The only downside on the concert was perhaps the last song, Popplagið. After Gobbledigook, where the band had constructed some kind of vibe, Popplagið was to much of a difference of pace for most of the crowd.

setlist:

Svefn-g-englar
Ný Batterí
Glósóli
Sæglópur
Við spilum endalaust
Hoppipolla/Með blóðnasir
Inní mér syngur vitleysingur
Hafssól
Gobbledigook
Popplagið

Conservapedia

I just found something extraordinary on the internet. Yes, I see the sentence, just live with it. The thing I found on some random forum was conservapedia. A wikipedia made by conservative Americans. The absurdity you see on the wiki is immense. Just a few highlights:

Currently, there is an ongoing debate on whether atheism was a causal factor for Friedrich Nietzsche‘s insanity or whether it was caused purely through disease.

Here is some more:

Atheists are making a concerted effort to win the youth of America and the world. Hundreds of websites and blogs on the Internet seek to convince and convert adolescents, endeavoring to remove any residue of theism from their minds and hearts by packaging atheism as the choice of a new generation. While you think your kids are innocently surfing the Web, secular progressives are intentionally preying on their innocence and naivete.

What’s preposterous is that atheists are now advertising and soliciting on websites particularly created for teens. The London Telegraph noted that, “Groups including Atheists for Human Rights and Atheist Alliance International – ‘Call 1-866-HERETIC’ – are setting up summer camps and an Internet recruiting campaign.”

YouTube, the most popular video site on the Net for young people, is one of their primary avenues for passing off their secularist propaganda.

This is insanely funny.

(not so) Bad weather

iktie — Mon, 30 Jun 2008 10:32:53 +0000

We had the BBQ inside fearing the bad weather that was visible in the morning, but it turned out to be quite nice outside so we had the drinks and all outside. All in all, it was fun. Might have taken a bit to long though. Recieved nice presents too!

The next noon we headed off to a dive on ‘Oesterdam’ in Holland. Very good dive, taking into account I hadn’t dived in more than 18 months. I saw a ‘paling’. A big fat one. Made for a good dive.

today I am just going to get in bed and watch television all day long. Allready looking forward to it.
