rugby-related

Mine is art from Vespertine. IT's the drawing of the Swan with pretty feathers.

It is a bit rub actually and I should get round to changing it, I just don't know what...

How do you do screen grabs in OSX, Nicl

― Ed (dali), Friday, 14 February 2003 18:13 (twenty-two years ago)

You just do the same thing as you did in OS9 -- Apple Shift 3! But they're saved as PDF files on your desktop. I use freeware called Kunvert to make pdf into jpeg.

Now tell me how I can fly too!

At the moment I have a black and white photo of Edinburgh Castle and the Grassmarket, that I took myself. Being a geek, I have a background-randomiser that picks from a selection of BW photos I've taken over the years.

At work, I just have a single one: a beach and ruined village on the Hebridean island of Taransay. It's also one I took myself.

Spencer-- I yanked it off of somewhere on detroityes.com (I really wish I remembered where).... It's such an amazing pic to see actual PEOPLE (those little black specs) in pre-riots downtown Detroit. My parents always used that train photo until they got a mac.

Mine is this bodhisattva of infinite compassion, snapped at the V&A museum. I like his informal style - as if he's taking a break from formal meditation in the lotus position, and just hanging out on a sunday afternoon with tourists and locals sheltering from the rain.
