Very nice! Ooooh - I may just have to buy this! Digital Blasphemy is one of my favourite wallpaper sites, so this just looks too good to pass up!

I'm using Ealm at the moment. I really, really like it. To me, it's neither a feminine nor a masculine skin, but as a woman, I enjoy it's 'natural' theme, as opposed to so many of the technical or metal-type themes out there. For those of you looking for skin ideas, how about some more nature-themed, or fant

George Perez's comic art is some of the most beautiful stuff I've seen: http://vu.morrissey-solo.com/moz/perez/info/solus1.htm http://vu.morrissey-solo.com/moz/perez/cv/cc2.jpg And I really like Greg Land's stuff too. Especially his work on Sojourn - beautiful stuff! In terms of 'traditional' art, the Group of Seven and Emily Carr have always inspired and amazed me: http://www

Reply to Who rules ? TGTSoft or WindowBlinds ? in WinCustomize Talk WinCustomize Forums

Isn't ThemeXP just a hack? As such, doesn't Microsoft frown on it, while supporting and promoting WindowBlinds? I'd rather use software that doesn't involve hacking my system.

Reply to Wallpaper moderation gets tougher in WinCustomize News WinCustomize Forums

I agree with those who have said that you need the cull the current selection of wallpapers. There is some stuff in there that is of poor quality. If people are submitting higher-quality stuff and getting rejected, they might be understandably annoyed if there is poorer-quality stuff still in the wallpaper section. Perhaps you could get the assistance of a few more individuals to help with the clean-up process?

Toronto. All you Americans will definitely get your money's worth up here, since the Canadian dollar is so pathetic right now. You'll get a lot of 'bang for your buck' up here. And Toronto is a wonderful city - lots of places to stay, lots of places to visit, lots of things to see and do. <img src="http://images.stardock

I have Windows 2000 at work (we move slow in the federal government - we're just rolling out 2000 to all our users right now. We like to wait until things have been proven and established.) When I bought a new computer this year I debated whether or not to get XP or 2000, but decided on XP for two reasons: computer games (I love RPGs) and customization. <img src="http://images.stardock.com/images/smiles/sb.gi

Reply to Are there any Squids out there? in WinCustomize Talk WinCustomize Forums

WiseOldMan - Yep, it can be tough. My husband's tours in Bosnia and Eritrea were while we were dating, and to top it off, when he was in Canada, he was in New Brunswick (CFB Gagetown) and I was in Ontario (Guelph or Ottawa). So we had lots of practice at doing the long-distance thing before getting married. I'm lucky - because I work for the Federal Public Service, my job is guarranteed if I do want to go on a tour as a member of the Reserves. Unfortunately here in Canada, we don't

Reply to Are there any Squids out there? in WinCustomize Talk WinCustomize Forums

WiseOldMan - I can understand that. My husband has the opportunity to go to Bosnia for another 6 month tour in March, but since we've only been married since last October, he's declined for now. Thankfully they are only looking for volunteers right now, so he doesn't have to go. Of course, I want to get done with my Reserves training, so that I can go on a mission somewhere! Time for him to stay at home and let me galavant around the world. <img src="http://images.stardock.com/images

WiseOldMan - my husband has 8 years left until he can retire from the army with a full pension, but he'll probably stay in past his 20 years. Although he's in a 'staff weenie' job right now, he's loved all of his previous positions. Hey, he's an engineer, he loves blowing stuff up. He only plans on getting out if they post him somewhere, after his 20 is done, where I can't get a job (like back to CFB Gage

At home I use Paint Shop Pro, because that's all I can afford. But at work I have Photoshop, and I LOVE it! So, perhaps people using Photoshop use it at work, like I do. It's provided for me at work, I don't have to buy it.

I'm an Officer Cadet in the Canadian Forces Communications Reserve, serving as a Communications & Electronics Engineering Officer (CELE). The CF recently restructured all of its Reserve training, so I'm in a holding pattern, waiting for my Phase II training. My husband is in the Regular Force. He's an engineering officer, currently at the rank of Major. He's done tours in Kuwait, Haiti, Bosnia, and Eritrea, and had postings at CFB Chilliwack (which no longer exists), CFB Petawawa, CF

Reply to The Nickname we choose.... in WinCustomize Talk WinCustomize Forums

Caylynn was the name of one of my role-playing characters. I used to write for a Star Trek RPG, and when I was given my own command, I needed to come up with a name for my Captain character. I already had a character named Catherine, my favourite name, and I had an NPC named Caitlin, another fave name. So, played around with variations on Caitlin, I came up with Caylynn. And so Captain Caylynn Donne, MD, Commanding Officer of the USS NEBULA was created. <img src="http://images.stardock.com/i

I'm a user. I like ratings. I'm a customer (I purchased WindowBlinds) but I have never made any skins myself. I like ratings, because even if they are someone's individual opinion, they can help me weed out the really bad stuff (ie. things that get a 1 or 2) from the really good stuff (an 8, 9 or 10). When

At work I have a Microsoft Optical Intellimouse Explorer. However, at home I'm still using my old Logitech Mouseman Plus that I got back in 1999. I haven't been able to find an optical mouse that matches its ergonomics. It just fits my hand so beautifully. Very, very comfortable.
