1. Lunar eclipse - picture I took.
I don't know how to post pictures, but it is mostly black except for the stars and the small sliver of the moon.

2. That looks like the 'Steel Bridge' in Portland.


Which of course is not my desktop 'wallpaper' image. This is:



Some DU'er posted it, and I ripped it off.

40. They most certainly do. I'm considering forking over some money
to get some of the other work out there. My wallpaper changes to suit my mood and life circumstances. Since I'm working on what colors to paint my room, it's being used as a palette checker to see if I like certain color combinations.

21. I took it when I was in Stillwater, during winter, and applied a series of photoshop filters to it..
I could still smooth out a couple rough areas a bit more...

Thanks for asking!

Unfortunately I don't know where I found it. If it was bookmarked, it got lost in my harddrive crash.

24. That's a great pic, did you take it?
After a full HD crash, mine's looking pretty clean right now. And I'm going with Cannikin's theme, before she broke her back:

41. Another Total Commander fan, I see
I've been using it since it was called Windows Commander. And while Total Commander hasn't been ported to Linux (yet anyway) there are a ton of Commander-like OFMs for Linux such as http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GNOME_Commander">Gnome Commander.

And http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/VLC_media_player">VLC Media Player is awesome (i.e. plays everything) and runs on pretty much all desktop platforms. I was pleased to find that it was available for Linux. It does have kind of a dorky icon though.

42. LOL!
Haven't updated my Total Commander yet, but I'll switch to MAC later, anyway. And yes, VLC plays everything, but the icon is ... Huh?

For a better idea of the scale;



The rails it runs on are 7 1/2" gauge.
