Fickle Me – the Reprise

KDE 3.5.5 DesktopApparently, our Red thinks my Desktop looks like Windoze. Anyone else agree? 🙂 He thinks I have a “Start Menu”. I think we all need to drop Mr Red a note to ask what that little menu on the top right of his Mac Desktop is for 😉

  • Argggh – I can see you’re on the slippery slope towards Windoze !!!
    Using kconsole instead of xterm and those folders on the desktop imply you
    use point-and-click to find your files instead of good old “ls” !

    Call ureself a Unix bod ????????????? 😉 😉 😉

    Please please please please tell me that you still use a proper text editor roflol

    And as for kde/gnome – what’s wrong with good-old lightweight fwvm ???

    (says he lighting the fuse and running…..)

  • Oi! What’s this – pick on John day? 🙂

    I use kconsole cos it’s tabbed, and I need about 400 tabs open at any one time 🙂

    jmd@cadmium:~/Desktop$ echo $EDITOR
    /bin/vi

    And there’s the editor question answered! [0]

    Banged to rights on the files on the Desktop, though, but in my defence, I’ve only just copied them over from backup after upgrading my disk – they’re just there temporarily.

    As for fvwm – it’s too bloody bloated! If I’m short of RAM, I’ll use twm or wm2, thanks 😀

    And while we’re at it:
    xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx – – [18/Mar/2007:15:46:59 +0000] “GET /?p=949 HTTP/1.1” 200 7342 “http://www.nelefa.org/?p=949” “Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-GB; rv:1.8.1.2) Gecko/20070219 Firefox/2.0.0.2”

    Ah well, at least you’re using Firefox 😉

    [0] Text editor wars FTW! The only dick-size war that can be won by the smallest and least functional 🙂

  • lights fuse, steps back and watches the fun 😉

  • You’re a pair of rotters 🙂

    Martin, meet Alastair; Alastair, meet Martin 🙂

  • Blast – ya got me!
