Custom Desktop Service

My Desktop

I'm opening a Custom Desktop service, where you send in a request and I make it for you.
Example: I chose a Wii color theme, put my name in the Wii button, added a specific blue box for shortcuts to be placed, and a black box for the trashbin. I then added some artistic squares to the right side because it looked bland.

All you need to do: 
  • Take a secreenshot (don't worry, it's easy really) of your desktop. You do this by pressing the print screen button ("prt scr" on your keyboard). It is like using Copy.
  • Open up your photo-editing program. If you don't have anything, you can use Microsoft Paint.
  • Paste. (CTRL+V) Make sure it fits exactly.
  • Save, make sure to save it as a PNG.
  • Send it to me in an email, or upload it and give me the URL. This so that I know what screen size your monitor is, and how big your shortcuts are. (So you probably want to organize your shortcuts before taking the screenshot)
  • And tell me how you want it to look. You can have whatever design you want, really.
Once I make it, I either post it here or email it to you. You right-click > Save as background.
Viola.
Then you send the check in the mail.

My new room

Cleaned and reorganized, here are some pictures taken with my new cam.

A wide-open playing area for Wii and watching movies.

The entertainment hub.

I cleaned my closet for the first time since moving to this house. 

Still have the leaning tower of BIONICLE canisters.

My arts and cultire wall :P

Yay

What do you think?

The game of Chicken

New layout

Yeah, I really didn't want to change this again, but my new browser (Google Chrome) didn't support the layout. Thus the GNN theme, and I'm still working on it.

'Just that I gotta do other things online before my blog :-/

Where are all my bloggers?

So pretty much all my older siblings have a blog, which means you have gmail accounts. I want touse Gtalk* with you! I just sent out my new email address, so if you don't have it - text me or call me or get it from my mom. Actually, I don't know if I have any of your guys' emails....

*Gmail Instant Messaging. It's built in.

Birthday/Before

I had trouble placing this text in the right place, under the picture of my camera. But anyway, I got a Canon Elph! <3<3<3<3<3<3<3<3<3
It has 10 megapixls - a huge improvement over my last 4.1!!!
I like how it is small yet has a BIG screen, and it can tell when ou tip it on its side, so it moves the picture for you when you look at it :D
The picture above shows about 1/3 of the mess my room had become. 
I got that desire to move my room around, so I had to empty my shelves to move the furniture.

This is all I have "done" so far. The Entertainment Hub.
I have my bookshelf right next to my bed, my computer/desk where I can (and am doing so now) access it from my bed. No chair needed.
Just add bed.

Also, a keyboard! I got to open it two days early when Mandy and George+Co. were over. I think because Mandy was the one who introduced me.

Speaking of Mandy and George, thanks for coming over! I would have liked to have all my family over, but you guys are all spurpled.

In other news, Dad is getting baptised tomorrow at RLM. He is being baptised by Brian Haul, which I think is really cool. Brian's life was changed in Mexico, and now he gets to do this for Dad.

I bought a new game called N+. I don't usually wright to you about games I buy, but this one is intriguing. Huh?

Alagaesia Adventure Game

I beat the Alageasia Adventure game with Cassie a few days ago, it is an online text-based Role-Playing-Story. This is your "reward" for beating it; an ACSII picture of Saphira

And once we tried to go south toward an army of Urgals. As the screenshot below shows, it responds...
Are you daft? There is an entire ARMY of angry armed Urgals approaching.
You can't go that way.

I thought it was pretty hilarious.

Google Chrome

After consulting my computer teacher, I downloaded Google Chrome.

All I can say is .blogscott looks terrible in it.

Cat and rats are compatible

It wouldn't let me post a video to my blog, but watch this video!

Email

I have changed my email --- I know, you're thinking Again? But this one will be the one I use for everything. If you didn't get my message with my new address, let me know.

Mexico

Sorry, I've been busy. @_@
But here are a few pix.





We got to stop at Sea World and use our year passes for the last time before...

Getting to work. That's me and Sim on scaffolding with a ladder. We were pretty much the rescue crew to get Dad down from the roof.

Setting up the scaffolding is when we both stepped on a nail. The same nail. Withing ten seconds.

All in a good day's work

So today I was busy. "Working." Well, part of it was real work.

School, web design, roof shoveling, web design, web design, web design, purchasing a domain, setting up accounts, school, web design, etc.

  • Shoveling

Dad and I had to take a ton (literally) of snow off of our roof so it wouldn't cave in. >_>

  • Web Design

Check it out. You know how I was talking about that Gamah Watch reboot? Well we decided the name Gamah Watch was hard to remember and spell, and only few would get the play-on-words. So now I have GNN, the Gamer News Network, where things are much more sleek than on GW, with many more features. www.GNNHQ.com

I'm back

Hey everyone. I want to post some pictures, but I feel really busy. I'll try to get to them soon-ish.
