How do you keep your desk that clean? And yeah, they're your favourite resolutions 1024x768, 1280x1024 and 1366x768

@Yodaman Jer - Is that an easter egg in the background?

Those either need to be a lot higher or a lot lower. >=|

Yes, it's been stuck on that door since before we moved in... it's a sticker that somehow became one with the door, it was probably put it on as the paint was still fairly wet and so sunk in.

@MrValentine Thank you for the trade secret disclosure.

That's statistics in my books. Well, it's also discrimination based on statistics in my books.

As are most males, including myself.

I was thinking of adding some sort of transparent texture around the text, almost to make the page around the text look textured.

I'll be off to bed now, so it'll be a while before I am back here.

1278.92 is the total. Can't believe it. Set a goal for $1500 including keyboard and monitor and I managed to get it down to $1278.92. Wooo!!!

I love AMD. That's how I was able to get the cost down so much.

I once had a triple core AMD. I don't think Intel makes those. But it was cheap!

DJD64...

You missed this ^^

EDIT

Oh yeah those triple cores were actually failed quad cores, I must praise them for not binning them though...

My guess is Intel either never makes that many bad batches or they binned the failed batches

OH right, sorry Valentine. I saw those earlier and meant to reply, but I was too busy. I feel sad now. Kind of like those, but more textured around the text. Maybe like... Oh how do I describe it; almost like a 'gripped' surface kind of texture. Like a surface with little tiny bumps on it. I can't think of any examples... If I can find one, I'll link a picture here.

Maybe a texture a little like this:



But haha, you don't have to make pictures for me unless you want to. I appreciate it so much, though. In fact, I will make one of those my signature...

Yours is better than mine, Randomness. If I'd had the original text without the faded black surrounds I could have done better, but as it was I didn't feel like cutting out the text by hand

This is such a wonderful thing to wake up to. I feel immensely honored. I wish I could have all of them for my signature... Randomness got even closer to what I am talking about but still not quite there... Today, I really should make an example to show you guys what I mean.
