Wallpaper - Dual Monitor - Galactica

Wallpaper

Symbology aside (right) the BattleStar Galactica wallpaper is a great 2h wallpaper.

Wallpaper - Lady of Pain

Wallpaper + Planescape

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 😁

Wallpaper - Dual Monitor - Avatar vs. Alita

Wallpaper

This month's dual monitor wallpaper features two James Cameron heroines. No points for those who recognize the movies 😁

Wallpaper - Magical Library

Wallpaper

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.

WaitWindow - checking for open and closed windows from a batchfile

Datatalk + Waitwindow

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.)

WallX v2.42 versus Touch Portal v2.3... A case of AND or OR?

Datatalk + WallX

Well, nothing's ever completely done but WallX now runs smoothly and hasn't crashed on me yet. I've worked on importing files / exporting graphics, faster response to user action, and added some fail safe handling when writing files. Either Windows or some virus scanner was blocking my write access now and again. Also removed a bunch of smaller and larger bugs.

But... what has that to do with Touch Portal?

Wallpaper - Angels

Wallpaper

2 for 1... Angels are mostly girly stuff, but hey! I have a few in my wallpaper collection as well. Read on...

Wallpaper - Dual Monitor - Blue Eyes

Wallpaper

So... I have a thing for eyes. Sue me.

This wallpaper works great on multi-monitor setups with two identical monitors.

Wallpaper - White Balls

Wallpaper

It's somewhat like T+2000 (2000 days after I expected what would be the worst day for Corona / Covid) and my wallpaper is a silent reminder of that. Remember the lock-down? I do. Work was done over Teams (something many managers nowadays think is no longer working, duh?) and one of the Teams backgrounds was this specific image.

Wallpaper - Lost in Translation

Wallpaper

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.)

Wallpaper - Can't Fit In

Wallpaper

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.)

Wallpaper - Revy (Black Lagoon)

Wallpaper

There are few characters as foul and violent in Anime as Revy, and you gotta' love her for that. This wallpaper is a fanart image based on the Black Lagoon's company's trip to Tokyo. Yeah, she's wearing a skirt but don't let that fool you... 

Wallpaper - Who is going to save Humanity? (Part II)

Wallpaper

I can't imagine you haven't seen it, but if you did not then go and watch Person of Interest. This is the counterpart to last month's wallpaper.

I use WallX to keep the upsized background from hurting my eyes...

Wallpaper - Lake Sakura

Wallpaper

In May 2010 I visited Japan. I love that place. Summer started early that year, and the cherry blossom was (mostly) finished by the time we arrived. Well, there are still good images to be found on the internet 😉

Wallpaper - Choose Your Weapon

Wallpaper

Played any Dungeons & Dragons lately? Here's a suitable wallpaper.

Wallpaper - SF.028

Wallpaper

In the old days of echo-mail, and 14k4 modems, and Fido... ah... there once was an echo ('newsgroup') called SF.028.

It was... great. I can't explain why. This is a little reminder to those days, the peaceful world before the Internet came... Unsurprisingly, this wallpaper clocks in as a .JPG of nearly 10 kb. Huge! 😂

Wallpaper - Destination (Calvin & Hobbes)

Wallpaper.

It's summer, and life and work are changing yet again. The future is... unclear.

It's a good thing I'm not the only one who doesn't know where he'll end up.

The truth is, most of us only discover where we are heading when we arrive...

Wallpaper - Pinky & The Brain

Wallpaper

Megalomania isn't a problem... Well, it is (Musk, Putin, Trump, and you can come up with a few names of your own) but at least it isn't a problem in cartoons... Meet Pinky & The Brain!

Wallpaper - Within Temptation - The Unforgiving

Wallpaper

Within Temptation's Sharon den Adel has quite the voice, and the band has quite the reputation, but at first I didn't even know this wallpaper was actually an album cover... yet I like it.

Also, I'm a sucker for concept albums, so now I wonder if I can find the associated comics anywhere...
