The Desktop Abuser

Posted by Ikhwan on January 17, 2007

The Abused Desktop This is the current screenshot of my desktop (sorry, had to be blurred to protect the innocent). I’ve almost max out the number icons on the desktop, just one more space to go. Actually, it was already full some time ago, but I squeezed the margins for extra space.

I am running 3 virtual desktops. Virtual desktops comes by default in most window manager in *NIX OSes like KDE and Gnome, but for Windows we have to install third party softwares. I’m currently using VirtuaWin, which works great for me (thanks Elaine!).

By using 3 desktops, I can put opened windows into logical groupings. 1st desktop is for work centric applications like SQL Manager and Visual Studio. 2nd for communication like email and IMs. 3rd for web browsing. It’s also an efficient way to hide what you are doing. Like, “Oops, the boss is coming, quick, swicth to desktop 1″!

3 virtual desktops also means 3 times more taskbar space that I can use. I got 16 items in the taskbar on the visible desktop right now. There are 30 windows opened in total, shown in the bottom right corner. That is the VirtuaWin’s “window menu”, it lists all the windows in all the virtual desktops. Before virtual desktops came into my life, all windows are dumped into one taskbar, making title text too short to read and Alt-Tabbing fell like a journey to hell.

Virtual desktop actually works by hiding and showing the window. Changing the windows and taskbar item visibility. Too bad it doesn’t allow that for desktop icons. Imagine what kind of mayhem I can do with that feature.

Most of you would easily call this act as “abusing the desktop”. But I would prefer to call it as “utilizing the desktop to it’s full potential”. This setup allows me to work fast, dragging and dropping the most recent files to the desktop, and having all the needed applications opened and easily accessed with a flick of a finger or two.

I just wish I have two (or three) monitors, so I can have more desktops to abuse. Errr, I meant, to utilize up to their full potential.

Lets Talk About…

Posted by Ikhwan on January 11, 2007

I’m having a crave to blog right now. Really, I am. A burning desire. My fingers itches to dance on the keyboard, and type away some really insanely good literature. But the thing is, I don’t have a topic to talk about.

How about we talk about life? Yes, lets talk about life. Living is the thing that we do with most of our time on this surface of the earth. Life is tough though. You have to do a lot of stuff when you’re living. Man, it’s tiring. Sometimes, I just feel like to lie down, and do nothing. Simply shut my eyes, drifting away in between sleep and conscious. Letting the world fly by. Just waiting leisurely until death takes me away.

But you can’t that, it’s just wrong okay. Because occasionally you need to go to the toilet. You cannot just continue lying down and do it there. Then the bed will be icky and squishy and not comfortable to lie on. Semi-solid substances, spread all over your bed, and in between the bed covers. A bit lumpy and a bit fluid at some part. The smell would be horrible. Imagine that!

No, I said, imagine that. Now.

Eewwwww…

Okay, enough with that, how about we talk about other more interesting stuffs. Like about.. uhhh.. sex maybe? Uhuh? Oh yeah. I got your attention now. Hell yeah, lets talk about it. Okay, here we go. There are two kind of sex in this world: male and female. But I heard stories, that sometimes, once in a blue moon, a baby been born as both male and female. Yo, that’s freaky!

What’s up with the phrase “once in a blue moon” anyway? Does the moon turn blue sometimes? I’ve never seen a blue moon before. Not that I remember of. But people use that idiom to depict something that happens, albeit rarely, but it happens. Is this blue moon phenomenon are so rare, that I’ve never ever see it in my life before? Or is the moon’s blue is the kind of not so blue-ish blue? More like white blue and I didn’t notice it? Like maybe not #0000FF blue, but #FEFEFF blue?

On the other hand, I’ve seen a red moon before, several times. Wow, that is awesome. You feel like mystical and all when you look at it. Like maybe if I stare at it long enough, something magical and wondrous will happen. Like maybe I’ll turn into a werewolf? Thats cool… But wolves are so old-school. Turning into iPods would be cooler. Were-iPods, oh yeah. I turn into the epitome of the coolest music playing device ever when I see a full moon. Ice cold!

Oh no, this sucky song come up from the playlist again! I hate this song… Argh, the suckiest part is coming up! Oh please, come on WinAmp, finish up the song already.

Oh wait, I can click the “next” button. Duh. Now, that’s better.

I feel hungry. Gonna make myself some Tomyam flavoured Maggi instant noodle now.

I Dream Of Code

Posted by Ikhwan on January 07, 2007

Kadang-kadang aku mimpi menulis code. Pelik? Biasa la tu. Nelayan kadang-kadang mimpi menangkap ikan, bomba mimpi memadam api, pembuat roti mimpi membuat roti, pembantu tadbir mimpi membantu tadbir, penolong ketua darjah mimpi menolong ketua darjah. Apa nak pelik.
