Nothing wrong with this picture...

Posted by Astryl on Nov. 13, 2012, 11:03 a.m.

That's a screenshot of my PC, circa 5 minutes ago.

Anyways, I had a great birthday yesterday… and resigned from my job today.

I was getting a lot of customer complains (Customers who dislike me for being English, being young, and from not being around here originally). So my boss and I had a little talk today, and I decided to resign gracefully before this blows up in my face.

So I left on good terms.

So that means…. I'm back on the hunting range again, looking for work. This time though, I've got a reference and a list of places to try.

Sorry I haven't been paying much attention to the S4D comp entries. I've been feeling depressed as shit recently.

Anyway, I might write a longer blog than usual next time; need to write something.

Glad to see you kept the only apps that are actually useful.

With one, humongous, Internet-exploring exception.

you lost your job? over people not liking you? thats bullshit.

also only thing i can see wrong with that picture is that Internet Explorer shouldnt be there. (also 4 degrees? i hope that's Celsius)

Removed IE. Anyway, that's not Windows 8 when somebody notices. It's something called the Windows 8 transformation pack. Pretty neat, actually.

+1 for having a task bar and start menu.

I know. My bosses weren't happy about it either, but I live in a racist town, where I can be hated just because English is my main language instead of Afrikaans. Even though I'm perfectly willing to speak Afrikaans.

Oh, and that's New York's temperature. Need to change that.

ugh racism. what a barbaric thing. if only humans could sophisticate themselves at the same rate as us xD

also why would you want your PC to look like WIn8? i dont think i would like that. i dont like tablet interfaces. i like my desktop clean of anything. it makes it feel like a "desk top" where i can lay down the things i'm going to be working on and organize their placement. :P

(also i left a comment on your Exile page)

I was just trying it out a bit. Without spending any money. If you ignore the Start screen, it's not bad at all. Still, I'd rather buy Windows 7.

Astryl 11 years, 10 months ago

The local PCFormat magazine ran an article about setting up a Linux gaming PC. Because apparently Steam is going Linux native soon. [/notQuiteUnrelated]

Ooh I must get that issue, does linux native mean only working on linux?

Also how is the picture on top of windows xp?
