You did not read the thread specs.

That is my physical desktop.

a long shot of mine, since close-up and candlelit could really be anything:

Nah, I just changed the contrast.

What was weird about it?

― papa november (papa november), Sunday, 21 November 2004 09:13 (twenty-one years ago)

Here we go. A more easy to recognise image

Nah, I just changed the contrast.

For those of you not following the thread, this is a joke, and also a huge lie.

That is not me in the pic btw, I am female.

So is this.

Hey Kenan, Not sure what your issue is, perhaps you'd like to email me about it?

― papa november (papa november), Sunday, 21 November 2004 09:44 (twenty-one years ago)

???

No, I just thought you were joking. Not an issue at all, so I thought. Are you a girl? Thas cool, I'll buy that. However, I saw that first pic you posted with my own eyes when you first posted it, and it changed a couple minutes later, completely. Not the same pic at all. I couldn't have done that alone. Unless maybe you renamed a picture I had in my cache.

― Kenan (kenan), Sunday, 21 November 2004 09:50 (twenty-one years ago)

Hey Kenan, I just figured out what may have potentially happened.

On my ftp I had another image i'd used here before called desktop which was indeed of my computer desktop, and I saved over it. If your PC had it cached, it may have initially displayed that image. I did also soon after I uploaded my image for this thread, re-upload it with the contrast changed. But hey thanks for calling me a liar.

As for being female or male. I have met at least two ilxors who i'm sure will agree I'm all woman.

― papa november (papa november), Sunday, 21 November 2004 09:52 (twenty-one years ago)

heh x-post.

― papa november (papa november), Sunday, 21 November 2004 09:53 (twenty-one years ago)

Hey, look, I really thought you were joking, and I was not aiming to be combative at all. I apologize for any umbrage taken.

― Kenan (kenan), Sunday, 21 November 2004 09:57 (twenty-one years ago)

MORE PICS NOW, PLZ!

― Kenan (kenan), Sunday, 21 November 2004 09:58 (twenty-one years ago)

Nah it's okay. I'm just a moody bitch having a shit day. It is I who should apologise.

― papa november (papa november), Sunday, 21 November 2004 09:58 (twenty-one years ago)

It's high time someone posted a pic of their fashionable, pristine destop adorned with a nice new Apple product, instead of the messy PCs we all seem to like so much.

― Kenan (kenan), Sunday, 21 November 2004 10:02 (twenty-one years ago)

oh if I only could find my charger.

I've got everything from wine glasses to newspapers to computer hardware scattered across my desk.
also spoons and stickers and a mug full of ephedra pills.

― trigonalmayhem (trigonalmayhem), Sunday, 21 November 2004 10:28 (twenty-one years ago)

I'm glad I'm not the only one with a messy desk then.

― papa november (papa november), Monday, 22 November 2004 00:09 (twenty-one years ago)

The sad thing is that I just cleaned it up a bit today, too. I try not to let it get this bad but I've just been so busy with trillions of assignments the last few weeks that I let general maintenance slide a bit.

Hey, I've read that adoption in america book too but I forget why.

― papa november (papa november), Monday, 22 November 2004 00:30 (twenty-one years ago)

(many of the books are integral to an open assignment spec script I'm writing but not allowed to talk about. Still... draw conclusions.

the white bohla watch is broken and apparently 'rusty' inside. the alessi analogue watch I take off when I get in cs wearing a watch hurts my wrist. the cheap casio digital (amazing watches!) isn't in shot.
