My old host’s hard drives died. That’s why a lot of my posts have disappeared. I’ll see if I can recover them, but I’ve got better things to do as well.

Anyway, there’s a new theme that’s not entirely done, but still looks good enough to be running now.

By “not entirely done” I mean that viewing single posts and viewing pages aren’t changed.

And I still need to figure out what the hell is wrong with sIFR showing “Blog” as “Blo [newline] g”

So, yeah.

There’s a reason I like OpenID. It’s easy to use, it’s free, and most of all, it’s not centralised. Go and pick and choose any OpenID site you fancy, because if they’re letting you create OpenID accounts, surely they must not be trying to take over the world with their user database.

But look at Facebook Connect. It’s for Facebook only. It’s for Facebook users only. What are the privacy implications of this?

For all I know and care Facebook can do whatever “[not] evil” Google does with their user data.

I do have a Facebook so it is a few less logins, but at the end of the day, I’m still hoping to see OpenID win.

I removed Mybloglog, moved some stuff in the sidebar, added my SteamID to the sidebar and also my new Twitter to the sidebar

Twitter is nice, but it needs OpenID, methinks.

Also, WordPress 2.7 ftw. I just upgraded, and is taking some time to get used to, but is nice.

And just like SMF, I can upgrade WordPress itself and add new modifications without pulling out FireFTP now. Awesomeness.

My designs suck.

I need tutorials to get better at web design (in terms of graphics).

So now, I’m going to be using K2.

I got around to customising my desktop more, but I still can’t be bothered changing Aero.

I got sick of the Sidebar recently. I hate the way gadgets work – they’re oversized, fat, oversized, fat, sdjfklsjfklsdjfs.

Anyway, so during my daily reads of Lifehacker at school before that, I came across this. I had never gotten around to actually implementing the thing, but I just kept it and saved it a bookmark back at home.

Near the end of last month, I got around to actually installing it. And heck, Rainmeter didn’t work on Vista. Well, it did, but it lagged insanely, so I gave up and went with the lesser Samurize theme, which was actually the Lightning at Sunset desktop, not the Enigma desktop version.

So I customized it to make it more like the Enigma version. A few days ago I then came across the roundup of the Enigma inspired desktops, which really got me tweaking things. Compare what you see in that screenshot above to the version here. Now we’re talking! ^_^

Anyway, you should probably have noticed that the dock from my previous desktops remains. In fact, the same dock skin I used when I was on XP. Just, smaller. Keeps the nice minimalist idea going.

And about the song… all I have to say is…
All we want to do is eat your brains
It’s not unreasonable – I mean, no one’s going to eat your eyes
All we want to do is eat your brains
We’re at an impasse here – Maybe we can compromise
Open up the doors
We’ll all come inside and eat your braiiiins

As everyone should know, religious cults exist. Apple is practically a religious cult.

Fanboys:

Quote from YouTube user 09AUTUMNUS22
People don’t buy Macs to look cool. That’s just ridiculous. People buy Macs because of how great their products are. I bet you that you can’t find a PC with the SAME specs and same hardware cheaper than a Mac. I know this for a fact. The reason Macs are more expensive is because they come with better equipment.

Slander? Am I speaking or typing? Hmmm….Figures someone who is a PC fanboy is stupid like you. Fast? I bet I can start my computer up–same time as you–and start running apps before your computer is halfway done booting.

Quote from Simpsons:
Customer: “He’s a genius!”
Customer: “He’s like a god that knows what we want!”
Steve Mobs: “[Here's] an announcement that will completely change the way you look at everything!”
Crowd [pulling wads of cash out of wallets and purses]: “oohh!!!”

Prices:

Quote from Simpsons:
Employee: “Sure, those are called MyPhonies. Oh, and they cost $40.”
Lisa: “Oh, I’ll never be able to buy a Mapple product.”

And here’s something for the more technically minded:

Quote from YouTube user 09AUTUMNUS22
If VIsta has great security then how come there are no viruses for Leopard? Moron.

To all those who haven’t realised – this is because Windows’ market hold makes it a great target for malware writers. Who’d target something having 8% of the market share, when you can target something having 80% of the market share? If Apple was successful in converting most Windows users to Mac OS X, all of a sudden you’d have Apple having to put up with a constant barrage of virus attacks.

Vista does, in fact, have great security. Those who are not using Vista due to their perceptions… well you’ve got Apple to thank for that. User Account Control is neccesary. Quite frankly, people getting annoyed over these kinds of things are getting annoyed over the fact their computers are being made more secure for the payment of clicking a tiny bit more. You compare how many times you get “Please type in root password” prompts on Linux, and you can see that Linux users have put up with such prompts with no problems whatsoever. Even though we are becoming more technically literate, our current generations are still imagining some areas incorrectly. Computers are not weaved magic; they have problems and those should be taken into account; something not taken into account by Apple users who believe the products they hold in their hands are magical, precious things.

Or design 13, if you’re not scared of the number 13. I’m not, but whatever.

Anyway, it is not complete, and needs tweaking. Anyway, feedback is appreciated

Don’t be surprised if you find things suddenly changing.

My god people, my stats are showing a lot of my referrals are from searches about it or from forum topics, etc.

Well, if you guys really want it then comment here, because there’s undisclosed reasons why it’s currently unavailable for download.

Seems pretty good. Now, have a look at what I have made…
