In case you were looking for that perfect hockey season wallpaper for your desktop, this guy seems to have the best one out there (as well as a nice drawing of some kind of livestock with a bad puncture wound). I mean, I’m not using it–I’ve got a desktop of Veronica Mars reclining sexily on a bed, and that ain’t going anywhere–but maybe you’ve got that Windows rolling hillside going on and it’s driving you inexorably to the brink of madness.

Really, though, I’m just counting days until he updates it with a giant orca and Roman facing off against each other. Yeah. Because that’s going to happen.

I just spent a half hour trying to make the clamshell iBook accept that it was directly connected to a hub and could in fact access the internet. It did not believe me and I eventually gave up in disgust. I knew there was a reason it had been living on a shelf for the past year or so.

Well, that, and it’s as slow as molasses in January through a 2400 baud modem. I’d have better luck haxx0ring teh intarwebbs with this:

Incidentally, yes, it is mine. Yes, it works. And yes, I’m pretty sure it does tap directly into the Matrix.

The Matrix from Neuromancer, by the way, not the other one.

I did some tweaking and revising on TheG33K.com over the past couple of days. No new content or layouts per se, but it’s hopefully a little easier to navigate and a little less cluttered. Malloreigh and I might put our heads together sometime in the not too distant future to see if we can’t make it look a little more awesome, but that’s still in the theoretical stages right now.

Incidentally, when I was running checks on all the site pages to see if they work properly, I booted them up first in Firefox (which I use exclusively) and then in Internet Explorer (which I use exclusively for testing webpages on). What happens within literally two minutes of booting up IE? I get a message from Spybot telling me that something’s trying to change my registry. I haven’t gotten a message like that in months–maybe a year. Damned if I don’t hate Microsoft sometimes. (By the way, you know Firefox 2.0 is out now, don’t you? Yeah, you should use it; it’s good).
