Blame that one on the Series 8 DVD release

hmm. How do you exactly add the pictures like you lot? every time i use the image thing it just leave a red cross :/

You have web forwarding,
http://www.nmitconsultancy.co.uk/dtop.jpg is actually
http://www.auwy25.dsl.pipex.com/dtop.jpg

works however

Kryten · Mar 28, 2006

AH, I wasn't aware that web forwarding would have that sort of impact. What exactly causes it? Would have thought that the link would just point at the forwarded URL anyway?

If you view the source for http://www.nmitconsultancy.co.uk/dtop.jpg you get:

Code:

I.E.:basically the image is placed in a frameset, so all an IMG tag get's is a HTML page.

Kryten · Mar 29, 2006

Aha, so if I changed the forwarding type from my domain provider, i.e. non-framed forwarding, I assume this will change?

Will have a play soon, lots to do today - father in law in hospital for a tumour removal later, goodbye lunch to the two bosses at work, mr's has a job interview and ive gotta do all the bloody housework:/

There's actually a dock at the top of the screen as well, but it won't screencap for some reason...

I installed Flyakite OSX, which basically installs a couple of docks (I'm using RK Launcher) themes and icons and cursors to give the desktop an OSX-ish look.

Actually, I do that too - it's useful for figuring out quite how broken the network is.

Yep, I do this too. Confirms that status messages haven't got 'stuck'.

Man, their website is hella nice.

Sar · May 22, 2006

Aye, was impressed with it myself.

nath · May 22, 2006

Hmm, tried installing it and really liked it but for some reason with it all installed DivX's play really choppy in windowed mode. Did you get that?

Sar · May 22, 2006

Nope. Tried re-installing DivX?

Raven · May 23, 2006

heres mine...i am a "beardy" so....

nath · May 23, 2006

Didn't try that, I just assumed my graphics card couldn't keep up with all the new stuff. I've uninstalled it now anyway, might try again another time.

Rubber Bullets · Jun 6, 2006

I've been playing with some of my work images, and Photoshop.

What do you think, cheesy or OK?

Sharma · Jun 6, 2006

Looks good tbh. Bit bright for me, I like dark desktops.

Mazling · Jun 7, 2006

Why are all your icons on the right side? Freaks.

Gog · Jun 8, 2006

Nice and simple
