New Stuff.. fun

I’ve managed to make my desktop look almost completely like a mac now that I’ve found some system files that replace most of your windows graphics with those from MacOS X… They work pretty well and “here”http://www.aqua-soft.org/board/index.php?showtopic=18772 is where I found ‘em. Don’t bitch if they fuck up your system.. If you do them the way it says, they shouldn’t. However, you have to have XP SP1 and all the latest updates installed for it to work properly. Here’s some screenshots if you’re curious:

Pretty nice, if you ask me. I like it a lot. Plus I have a nice ichatAV skin for Trillian which I found @ deviantart (it’s been mentioned before). I’ve also found this neat program called “AveDesk 1.1″:http://www.aqua-soft.org/board/index.php?showtopic=19494&st=0&p=213496&#entry213496 which lets me put little icons on the desktop that perform various functions. The most useful one available is the FTP one since it allows me to drag n drop files onto it to upload stuff straight to my website. Plus you can put shortcuts to folders, drives, system stats, etc.. Anything you could want, you can put on your desktop. Also, I found a really nice theme for firefox called “SaferFox Expanded”http://mankin.9online.fr/ . “Here’s a screenshot”:http://s94358842.onlinehome.us/uploads/snaps/browser.jpg if you’re curious… I’ve got the whole Mac OSX thing going on now. I’ve even started using itunes instead of winamp even though I still like winamp… I think itunes has some neat features, especially the media library integrated into the window and easier to access. Nothing else important has really happened that I can remember since my last posting. My throat hurts like a bitch and I have no idea why :( I woke up with it this morning. Fucking *GAY*. I don’t think I’m getting sick… My throat just hurts. It sucks. Bah, I’m done for now. Later, everyone.
