I was tagged by Max on this funny meme : My Desk­top. So here it is !

I wasn’t sup­posed to change any­thing so it’s a bit messy and a bit er… red. Well, you know me, right ! I used to have Chi­nese pro­pa­ganda posters as desk­top wall­pa­per, glad I changed a while ago ! :lol:

Desktop

I don’t have too many icons on my desk­top because I use a dock under Win­dows XP. Still, you can see a few of my fold­ers : “to read” (bunch of pages I copy from the web) and “to print” (usu­ally my work sched­ule and my stu­dents plans for the week). My dock usu­ally sits on top of my desk­top but for some rea­son it didn’t show on the first screen­shot (auto­hide probably…).

 It has short­cuts to :

  • My com­puter
  • My doc­u­ments
  • My blog (well, yes !)
  • Fire­fox, IE & Yahoo mail
  • Media player & My Music
  • My pic­tures & My videos
  • The “to print” folder and “My work” (all my classes)
  • Weather etc.

You can down­load a dock like that from Object­dock or Rock­et­dock if you feel like try­ing. I used Rock­et­dock a lot at first but it bugged a lot so I switched.

So, here are some desk­top I’d like to see !

  • Sir Jorge, author of Video Store Blues (you spend so much time on the web, I want to see what your com­puter looks like !)
  • Aiglee, author of A new life in Canada (she’s a new blog friend and an new­comer to Canada as well !)
  • Lori, author of Blog­ging with cents (another blog-addict… I’d be curi­ous to see all your blog links on your desktop !)
  • Dead­poo­lite, author of Deadpool’s laugh­ing den (er… if every­thing is in Greek don’t blame me !)
  • Kiviniar, of Life as Kiviniar (I met him at Blog­geries, he’s good with blogs and direc­to­ries, trust me !)

Con­sider your­selves tagged !

    Now that is an orig­i­nal meme. Your desk­top is much cleaner than mine, I have lots of stuff float­ing around that should get put away nicely into fold­ers. Okay, I’m off to clean up my act :)

  • BarbPFC says:

    How very cool. You really are a rebel at heart, aren’t you? :)

  • Deadpoolite says:

    Your wish is my command…LOL

    I have retal­i­ated to your meme with extreme prej­u­dice and dare I say, wackiness;]

    Between you and me I think the final result is so ‘Dead­poolit­ian’ you ‘ll either laugh hard or delete my link:]

    I think with the over­due cookie pay­ment you owe me the for­mer is a safest option for you:]

    Take care friend and thanks for the cool meme you shoved towards my way :]

  • Zhu says:

    zing­trial : any­time ;-)

    Din: I’m happy with XP for now… Vista isn’t a huge dif­fer­ence to me.

    Max: well, I must con­fess I’m not a die-hard com­mu­nist myself. I can’t really label myself polit­i­cally any­way ! But I found this wall­pa­per cool ;-)

    Aiglee : you’ll see, soon you’ll get invited for all memes and you will be sick of it ! :lol: I’m gonna have a look at your desktop !

    Todd : I love old Chi­nese pro­pa­ganda Daz­ibao, they’re really cool, espe­cially when you know the story behind them.

    Scott : I sent you an email, no prob­lem for the pics ! The game was really good… :cool:

    Gra­ham : what else would you expect from me… :roll:

    Keshi : Cana­di­ans are obsessed with weather as well… well, we need to know how much snow we have, that’s the thing !

    Shionge: I’d love to see your desk­top (or rather, your daughter’s !) any­way. I tag you if you want !

    Theresa : I try to keep my com­puter fairly orga­nized.… I spend so much time on it, I pretty much have to.

    BarbPFC : yes mam ! :lol:

    Dead­poo­lite : now, I have to look at that. Should I wear shades ? Don’t wanna be blinded by the Merc’s madness !

    Dear Zhu,

    I came to com­ment on your com­ment made on “Morally Bank­rupt”. You said “I hate to dis­agree with you” I am glad that you dis­agree with me :grin: ! What kind of peo­ple would we be if we would con­stantly agree with each other? Besides a good debate is based on peo­ple dis­agree­ing with each other, right?

    You made refer­rence to the Law of the Tao: every­thing is a cir­cle, every­thing moves in a cir­cle (I con­fess: I do Tai Chi lol)!

    Of course not all Romans abode to those val­ues. They could even pre­tend to abide to them, and behind-scenes be real ass­holes! How­ever they tried..
    Nowa­days we flaunt our moral infe­ri­or­ity with such a non­cha­lant atti­tude that it shocks me: we are not even try­ing to cam­ou­flage it! And when one stops try­ing, even­tu­ally soci­ety will fall in decay, wear­ing the “futil­ity” crown on its head!

    Cheers
