Christ On A Crutch - A Pillar Of Our Society

I’ve been working on my own Linux distro.  Current project name is Wizard OS.  It’s an Ubuntu and Debian based distro that uses Xfce4. Customization wise it will eventually be all new and original themes, wallpapers and hopefully cursors 100% exclusive to the distro.  It has access to the Ubuntu repositories too, so installing free applications will be easy.
It’s been so fun working on this that I’ve decided to share this pre-alpha rc 0.01 teaser screenshot with everyone.

Bridget Regan should play Wonder Woman.

Spread the word.

I support it.  Also, we should switch out Chris Hemsworth for Brock Lesnar to play Thor.

Hell yeah.  I’ve actually talked about Lesnar playing Thor with people before.  He’s huge and looks Nordic enough to pull the part off flawlessly.  He can’t act very well (WWE) but I’m sure that wouldn’t be too much of a problem in Hollywood.

Dark Horse’s Conan

The best Conan comics I’ve read in a very, very long time are Dark Horse’s Conan publications over the last few years.  Currently being published is Conan The Cimmerian and it’s fucking good.  Start reading it.  Now.

(*You’ll need a Comic Book Viewer/Reader application.  Google it.)

Brocken Moon - Teil III

willwm asked: Is this (http://chvnx.com/post/436114785/my-current-ubuntu-karmic-desktop) Gnome, Epiphany, or other? Which desktop mods/gadgets/tweaks do you have? I really like your desktop. =)

Gnome!

Alpha GTK2 with FreshLight window border, AllBlack icons, Minimal Chrome theme, Chameleon-Anthracite Small 0.5 cursor, Minim DestroyTwitter skin, this Conky script and this wallpaper.

The bottom corner is a tweaked terminal displaying the output from an app called saidar. (sudo apt-get install saidar).  I removed window decorations using Compiz by naming the terminal window Terminal.Desktop and then used “any & (!title=Terminal.Desktop)” to remove the window, which basically embeds the terminal into your desktop.
