@riflehunter: Yes. Every last one of us is creative…just not productive. Besides, get halfway through this on Vista and you'll get a dialogue box prompting you to clean up your unused desktop items!

Geisrud — Thu, 17 Apr 2008 17:41:09 EDT

I could use a batch rename utility for Mac as well. To keep the folder name small and simple

I'm trying to make some folder art, but I'm a Mac rookie and there's a bit of a learning curve. I'm trying to install a utility to enable me to change the color of folders, and figure out how to overlap them without moving a folder into another...

Very good idea, and cool folder-mosaics.

When's the contest due? And I'm guessing the prize is "recognition, fame, coolness, etc"?

And that's...the rest of the story.

Space Invaders = brilliant. The shark one in the link isn't bad either.

If only I didn't have a Macbook... not nearly enough space on my monitor to make anything particularly detailed. Oh well.

I call shenanigans. There's no way they could have gotten those top two space invaders without clearing the ones below them first.

*Note* I know it's possible, but with the spread out fire the player demonstrates above, I claim there's no way...

You know what helps you forget the rest of the song? When you think about the 2 hours of total and complete rage-inducing UNfunniness they wrapped around that one sort of amusing moment, and you start to want to slit some throats.
