Cool! I was going to ask where you got it, then noticed you edited in the link. Thanks!

I suppose this is a tribute to the days before subterranean arcologies, huh?

My current desktop:

That's gorgeous! What is it?

This just makes me sad for William Thornton, Thomas Walter, and the youth of today.

Just changed it today to this picture.

Adorable!

I'm still celebrating the World Series.

The filename of the wallpaper tells me it's called "lesscolorfulvariant" - I think I got it from InterfaceLIFT - there's some great stuff there.



EDIT: Yup, I did get it from there.

 

[Philo]

Cool, thanks. I'll browse.

My current desktop is too embarrassing to post, so here's the one from yesterday:

Well now I'm just curious.

Well now I'm just curious.

It's nothing particularly interesting; just anime stuff for which I'm far too old and hairy.

I like to use this one around Christmas time.

I found a nice workaround for 3+ display backgrounds today. Apparently Windows starts the picture at the primary display and then wraps it around. So I cut up the image into pieces and switched them around myself.

Christmas Spirit!

 

[Philo]

And listening to Christmas Time is Here, no less. Good girl.

Now, the real question is whether that's off of the real deal, or The Royal Tenenbaums.

^Real deal. That is one of my top ten desert island albums!

Nerdy question - what's up with the Firefox drive icon on your desktop ?

I actually have no clue. Whenever I start Firefox, it appears, and I can't seem to move it anywhere.

I actually have no clue. Whenever I start Firefox, it appears, and I can't seem to move it anywhere.

Close Firefox first, then double click on the icon on your desktop. It should bring up a finder window with a Firefox icon inside.

Drag that icon in to your Applications folder. It will copy some files, but this will only take a second. Then run Firefox by double clicking on the icon within the Applications folder.

Cmd-Click on the Firefox icon that appears in your dock and select the "Keep in dock" option. You won't get that disk image anymore.

You've made the same mistake I made when I first got a Mac. I didn't understand how you install applications.
