Default What is your favourite screensaver?

Here's mine, probably forgotten by many, but it is an ever running story called Jonny Castaway an absolute sod to get to download. Here he is fighting Pirates who are attacking him in biplanes, taken from King Kong, he gets attacked by a Shark, has romance with a mermaid, the story if left running continously would last about 2 weeks and then start again. Well worth trying to download. So what do you watch in between phone calls?

I'll down size

My favorite is still Geiss from Geisswerks. There are a couple of others he has at his site that are equally impressive. He also created Dremples. If you've never heard of it Dremples it is a kind of animated wallpaper. It's hard to discribe just go and look.

I like the fish tank one. If you get a big enough screen it will look like you have a fish tank in your living room or office.

This new desktop is pretty addictive! I have now officially wasted half of the day looking at my new desktop and listening to pink floyd! (not too productive!) It may have been all the Saki last nite too ^_^ !
Either way this desktop is very cool you guys have to check it out!

Default I'm too conservative.

I'm too conservative. I still prefer the "Blank Screen" to anything else. It lets me know that everything is right in the world when my screen turns off.

Brian.

I've got a slideshow of my husband's artwork for my screen saver. I think I need something different - I'll check out Geisswerks and repost. If I spend too much time staring, well, I'll blame it on jdiben.

Just make sure you don't stare that long that you need glasses.

Like Brian, I'm a bit conserative and security conscious and simply have a blank out screen set up.

However, I do toy with different desktops, usually pics of the kids, scouting events, and a picture of ctabuk taken with Queen Victoria (1854) during one of his infamous "flings" prior to his lovely bride settling on him ... I'm not saying she lowered her standards, just that she other "choices" - lucky David! :)

Dude, did you really think I was trying to be funny? Here's the proof of ctabuk courting the little queen:



I posted a pic and link for larger view at his DC Forum to let his members know he's more connected than his humility will allow himself to take onus of ... also, it's proof that he's been given the Sith's knowledge of longevity - he's been around, as we used to say in the Army, since Christ was a Corporal.

Da vinci code hell - you'd better be reading up on David Code!

Have a great 4th and enjoy your family!

Well, I love putting celebrity pics on my computer. Julianne Moore's sexy pic would do.

I go fro the fish tank, too. It's very soothing and realxing to the eyes after hours of work and strain. It's quite refreshing to see a simulation of living creatures.

I don't know if I can live with this 'fame' thing, it's seems like I'm in every post. OK being a real live Time Traveller, has its perks, I got to meet a few famous dudes, Napoleon had halitosis, Cleopatra had a very cute asp (typo)I fought along side Daniel Defoe in the Monmouth Rebellion and gave him the idea for Robinson Crusoe, which in turn gave someone the idea for Johnny Castaway.

Defoe really did fight in the Monmouth Rebellion, he was a 'Soldier of Fortune'- A mercenary
