Hmm I didn't notice that. Maybe some kind of hipster* photo filter effect.

And I should make a correction, that building is, more accurately, the Beinecke Rare Book & Manuscript Library at Yale.

Great place - though very stuffy and quiet. Great if you want to get away from it all inside some art-deco 1930s shrine to vintage academia.

*I was actually given a warning for using the word 'hipster' on the Ubuntu forums. There was no negative or disparaging context, they merely objected to the use of the word in any context.

Debian Jessie, twm, staloneonetray, yad

I like twm tabs for titlebars as even when a window is maximised there's still some desktop space to the right of the tab to left or right click on (my left click shows the twm menu, right click brings up the volume control (yad script), iconmanager (I don't use icons) and stalonetray (that I load osmo, libre, radiotray and my own yad menu in which I include less often used programs so that the twm main menu (left click of desktop) doesn't become overweight)

i know, right?
i once got an infraction (posts on hold to be moderated, for a week or so) for using LMGTFY.
it's their bleeding code of conduct again, and "the customer is always right".
UF is a free help desk for ubuntu users, and you don't get paid for working there because "we altogether believe in making the world a better place" ...

I have been using stumpwm for a week now after using Ratpoison. To say the least I am very happy with my stumpwm. It gives me complete control over my desktop. I never got used to the layout management in awesome/xmonad as it always moved my windows around for me.

Thanks - I love low lighting, and neon lighting. This is a good combination of the two.

Latest wall:



I've been replaying Portal 2 over the Xmas period. It's been several years and I could hardly remember any of it, it was effectively like playing it for the first time. It's a masterpiece - and that's not a word I use lightly [and it runs perfectly on Debian].

Debian 9 installed on my old X60 with no desktop and added Xorg, network-manager, evilwm, mtpaint, mpg123, vlc and a few other bits and pieces together with openoffice and firefox 58 beta running from downloaded binary packages.

No .xinitrc, just allowing Debian to set x-window-manager alternative and adding a couple of aliases to xterm. I have set an .Xresources file that customises xterm.

About as minimal as it gets I think. Fun.

Happy new year all.
