Show & Tell
(I’ve only ever participated in one “real” Show & Tell, which I just thought of at this minute. I was in kindergarten. I took a baby chick. In a coffee can, with air holes and grass. Wow.)
Moving on…
Yesterday I finally got my new computer to completely accept Compiz’s 3D goodness. Considering my lack of experience (and my blacklisted graphics card), this was no small feat. Likewise, this makes me happy to no end, and so I felt like showing off.
Screenshot number uno
- XP (virtual machine)
- Gimp (screenshot goodness)
- Amarok (music)
Various random windows. The Virtualbox is running in seamless mode but cube rotation works just as well with it as a fullscreened virtual OS.
Screenshot the second
- Same as above, plus Amarok running visualizations at full size. Jagged edges just beginning to show up in the screenshot; CPU maxed out at 50% usage.
Anyway. That was my last rainy day slow day at work project for the new toy, so now I’m not sure what to mess around with next.
