Michael Aivaliotis Posted September 24, 2004 Report Posted September 24, 2004 Ok, I'm starting another useless thread. Here are some screen captures of my desktop with the ultimate. Four versions of LabVIEW running at the same time. I challenge someone to beat that. I'm also showing my desktop... naked. Show us your desktop... Quote

My desktop background changes often, sometimes from day to day Edit: On this pc I don't have LV installed. For LV I have an other pc with special cards inside (arinc, synchro).

Jim Kring Posted September 24, 2004 Report Posted September 24, 2004 What is "xeyes"?? 1961[/snapback] xeyes is an application that has a window with two eyeballs that look at your mouse position, presumaby so that it is easy for you to know where your mouse pointer is located. It is available on almost any Xwindows system (used for Linux displays). I opened the xeyes app so that it would be obvious that it was a linux environment. If you want to try out xeyes, there is a Win32 version that you can download from here: http://www.shemesh.biz/code.html ==> Win32 Xeyes -Jim PS - your desktop picture is scary Quote

Sarah83 Posted September 24, 2004 Report Posted September 24, 2004 Hmmm, this shows my liking of splatter films (I am collecting this kind of DVD's) But this is a scene from a harmless film calling Resident Evil :thumbup: I don't see the background all day because I have opened the LAVA secondary almost all day. One of my colleagues said this image is yukky Here my other favorite background (edited with Photoshop so that it is darker ) One of my favorite films... Quote
Jimmy-Chen Posted September 24, 2004 Report Posted September 24, 2004 Hi All, This is screen background of my desktop. Look down at Taipei city from Taipei 101 building. The Taipei 101 in Taipei is one of the Taiwan's tallest buildings. Quote

jpdrolet Posted September 24, 2004 Report Posted September 24, 2004 Here is mine. I still need LV4.1 to support an application. I don't use LV5.1 anymore. LV6 is phasing out. LV7 is my current workhorse. LV7.1 is still on the CD... I don't put a full wallpaper. It slows the screen refresh too much... Quote
Michael Aivaliotis Posted September 24, 2004 Author Report Posted September 24, 2004 Is this a picture of Toronto?1960[/snapback] Yes. I took this picture during a sailing trip on lake Ontario. My desktop background changes often, sometimes from day to day.1960[/snapback] Geeze, what a scary image! Since you like those kind of movies, have you seen the movie "Resident Evil: Apocalypse"? It was actually filmed entirely in Toronto. One of the main action scenes shows a round shaped building blowing up. That is actually Toronto City Hall. Quote

I see many of us use Mozilla Firefox. :thumbup: here is the last wallpaper I used: Quote
James McAnanama Posted September 24, 2004 Report Posted September 24, 2004 Here it is: We still have a old Mac running LV 2.1.?. Some apps are at 5.1, but most are at 6.1. I am using 7.0 for all new projects (all I need are some new LV projects!). Probably the neatest thing is that some our current apps (running at 6.1) have source code from their LV 2.1, Macintosh days (small changes to upgrade). I can't imagine running a DOS program that accesses hardware under Win2K (never mind Mac to PC). I have a version of Matrox Imaging library that somebody bought for $5k a few years ago, and so I use Labwindows CVI for my machine vision projects (C libs). This where I spend most of my time currently. See DLPX on Nasdaq... No secret that money is tight right now where I work. To this end, I use Linux systems to do web hosting of data logged elsewhere using LV DAQ, or Rabbit SBCs. I really like the cost of ownership aspect of Linux,MySQL, JSP. Moreover, I like the ability to remotely administer a Linux system. We have two servers built on old Pentium PCs at two different locations. These systems run headless, and I can administer them from my PC (I can also run critical applications -like xeyes - on the Linux box, while outputting the Display on my PC...) What I would really like is a LV cross compiler so that I could have even more fun with a Linux system (see DLPX on Nasdaq to learn why we don't just buy a LV-Linux license... :headbang: ). Okay, here I am, in the raw.... This image is from Silver Peak in Killarney Provincial Park (Ontario, Canada). A group of us go into the backcountry every September for some camping - this is from last year's trip. This year we went to Algonquin Park. This park is 'near' Ottawa, and as a bit of trivia for our German friends, is apparently well known in Germany. Apparently, many Germans come to Canada and vacation by camping in Algonquin Park. Urban myth or no, I have heard that at times there is more German spoken in Algonquin than English! Quote

nightdweller Posted September 24, 2004 Report Posted September 24, 2004 1980[/snapback] Nice desktop, where did you get that clock? :thumbup: Here's mine, not as nice as what you guys have out there. Running just two versions of LV, and Labwindows CVI. Having some probs linking the image. I will post later. gotta go. Quote
Barrie Posted September 24, 2004 Report Posted September 24, 2004 Geez Michael, is this kind of like a "come as you are" party? I just got a new dev machine so I just have 7.1 and I'm trying to keep it that way. I try to encourage (force?) my customers to keep their systems current. My screen is kinda boring 'cos it's new and hasn't had time to collect all the odd-ball stuff. Quote

I haven't even got XP to run the way I want yet. One of the things I have to get around to. The thing is, everyone test their pages on IE. A lot of people are recommending Opera. ???? Feel free to jump in everyone! (like you guys need an invitation :gathering: ) After all, this is the lounge. Quote
