Desktop Wallpapers the NEW post your desktop thread

Nice and clean there Kaen :)

Everyone's desktop is suspiciously neat, did you all tidy up before 'screenshotting'? I have loads of random pictures on mine, including some pictures from dissections.

i don't actually use my desktop, always have a browser open and just use the start menu

almost all of those shortcuts are from installs where i forgot to deselect the option to put a shortcut on the desktop haaa

looks like you're streaming stuff to your ps3? have you tried ps3 media server? far better than anything else I've used.

tversity is crap compared to ps3 media server.

thanks, i'll give it a go for sure! tversity is really awful, insane with the memory hogging and shit UI and whatnot. it's loads better than WMP, but that says nothing.

edit: haha, pms-setup

PMS works insanely well, transcodes almost any format.

Hot shit. What WM is that? Is that the latest Conky?

it's some kind of tiling windowmanager, probably wmii or awesome

Yes it's Awesome WM.

It's the latest conky (1.8.1 compiled with lua support) but it's still shit:

- Layouting is horrible. Images need to be positioned absolute, one flawed script can offset your entire layout because there is no absolute goto for y, only for x)

- I had to use some crazy lua script just to get nice rounded borders (that don't scale on layout or move when their "content" is moved, they are actually drawn over it with an "add" blendmode)

- I have to run 2 conky instances for left and right screens

I wish there was a better alternative with a sort of widget approach. Because it's a bitch to set up nicely.

i'm not so worried about transcoding, i tend to convert everything with mkv2vob. my computer CAN transcode 720p stuff but it's REALLY old and i literally can't do anything else while it does transcode stuff. i've got a 1.5tb external so having 2 copies of everything is no biggie.

but it's a lot lighter weight than tversity and doesn't try to do a shitload of stuff it can't actually do and the interface is a lot more basic and i dig that.

my desktop, across to monitors

like this

awesome shmup setup

you should be using sabnzbd!

is that a newsgroup reader? the only one ive ever used is altbinz

Ok, I just setup sabnzbd and it actually seems to be transferring much quicker (3.2MBps as opposed to 1.8MBps with alt.binz) since it is all browser based, what is the default download location?

Yep. Grab things from binsearch, nzb.su or nzbmatrix and use sabnzbd through your browser. It does all the par and unpacking for you. nzb.su works well with this sab addon http://forums.sabnzbd.org/index.php?topic=4636.0

go config > folders. I use the classic theme, you may be using plush and the things are laid out a little differently I think.

one thing that addon doesn't do though, is check to see if downloads are password protected aka the please visit megaultramalwaredownloads 4 a pass downloads. I've only had a few of those on small downloads though. ps. downloads.

Figured it out, thanks for the heads up!

excuse the bump
