This is a little command line tool I wrote to help me check from a batch file for windows which are open or closed. It can also launch other programs if a specific condition is met.
I couldn't find what I needed, and so I wrote it myself... You can download waitwindow.exe and waitfile.exe here.
(Searching for wallpapers may have brought you to this page. If so, try this link for a selection from the wallpapers that I collected.)
Wallpaper.
I have to believe Serenity is still flying...
No matter what you think of Jos Whedon, he did leave some very good television in his legacy. Buffy, Dollhouse, and Firefly are simply standouts in the (cult) television series landscape.
Symbology aside (right) the BattleStar Galactica wallpaper is a great 2h wallpaper.

Some of these wallpapers are just pretty images, others may have a story behind them. Some of those stories are intense, emotional, have a personal meaning (and I might simply not share the associated wallpapers) but others only go skin-deep.
This is one of the latter 😇 Ever heard of the game Tabula Rasa?
How I set up my machine...
(This note is pretty much for myself, and I think it actually has some mistakes in it as well...)
Four different wallpapers, all based on Sigil's Lady of Pain.
If you haven't played D&D, you haven't lived. If you haven't played Planescape, you haven't died and gone to the great wheel 🤔 Yet 😁
This month's dual monitor wallpaper features two James Cameron heroines. No points for those who recognize the movies 😁

I suppose this is a very large lake, somewhere (that doesn't look like a saltwater coastline to me)... but it's the forever compelling combination of land, see, and water... Add a bit of reddish color, and it's hard to pay attention to anything but that mesmerizing desktop background 😏
WallX has seen another update. Changes: some internal fixes for better image series handling, better wallx.lst support, Windows 10 support, better support for weird combinations.
Update: Video introduction and download.
Do you use wallpapers? Then you need this 😏
Wallpaper.
Some wallpapers are stranger than life... (Click the image to enlarge.)
I believe wallpapers are an essential part of our day-to-day computer experience, so of course I have a whole slew of 'm, that automatically rotate on every reboot.
I'll (try to) share one every month.
I don't know what it is, but clouds always make for great wallpapers. This is a dual monitor version I found... somewhere 🤔

So... I have a thing for eyes. Sue me.
This wallpaper works great on multi-monitor setups with two identical monitors.

This is one of those wallpapers that only means something to me (and a few former employees of a data center company in Amsterdam). We had a couple of LAN parties at the time (this is around the end of the last century 😉 ) and played a lot of Red Alert 2 online. Our clan name was Lost In Translation, or LiT. We never got anywhere 😅 but I still have the logo as a wallpaper. (Click image to enlarge.)
Last month's wallpaper was a whopping 10kb, this one is actually the largest in my (small) collection, at 2.5 Mb. As usual I have no clue where it came from 😓 and feel bad for the original artist.

Okay, first of all: don't support piracy! If you like something, then simply buy it!
Now, I can understand you want to preview something before actually buying it, and in that case I'll close one eye and consider a download for preview to be acceptable. Obviously, I expect you to actually buy the product if you like it, and otherwise delete what you downloaded.
I never could.
I know as a wallpaper this one's excessively small. WallX makes it barely acceptable using either fade, or dots+blur. The point here, however, is the message: not everyone fits in. (Click image to enlarge.)
Writing.
I finally settled on a cover and a pen name. So now both my writing related websites are up-to-date. Unfortunately I haven't released the story yet...
Well, I have to start somewhere 😇
