i felt that it was time to do some changes. So this time around i made an "info-dock-bar" with the main thought that i can change the background image without the dock-info-bar-thingy needs a remake.
I used to have the background image host the bar-info-dock-background. Now I remade the whole thing...
listofusedthingys-thingy:
Geektool - for systeminfo
hd-space, IM and Mail count, weather, free ram, battery, date and time.
the IM/mail counters is actually applescripts called from within geektool.
Dragthing - for launching.. stuff
there are 4 different docks here, disk-dock for showing connected drives, processdock for active programs, 2 shortcut-docks.
The shortcut-docks are 1) bottom middle folder-icon - overflow for quick access to my most used folders. didnt want to clutter the info-dockythingy-bar
2) left screenside main applauncher divided in 5 tabs with somewhat corresponding ecqlipse2 icons.
the process-dock also contains my trashbin (right bottom most icon)
menubar is using a blackmenubar-mod (found somewhere in lifehacker-pool)
ive just recently updated both twitter and hyperspaces thats why they are having black icons.. (forgot about them.. sry :P )
apps in menubar as follows:
layers- for screenshots
dragtthing- se above ;)
Pwitter- twitter client
Hyperspaces- adds some stuff to apple spaces (spaces labels ...)
freemem- optimizes RAM usage
AirPhones- Airphones server, sends itunes music to my iphone speakers..
Insomniax- disables the sleep-function. i can close my netbook-lid without sleepmode turning on
Audeee- makes the sound work on my eeepc 901
GeekTool- se above
MemoryCell- monitors memory usage of active app.
Volume- well .. guess
Spotlight- apple search thingy .. usefull anyways :)

I bought this at Edward's Luggage: a pocket leather notepad and business card holder, with pen. It is more efficient and portable than any PDA. It costs less than $20 and Edward's Luggage even sells replacement notepads.
my humble entertainment center. Best piece of hardware has to be the HD Tivo. The cord cover is something I have seen very rarely as cable management. I highly suggest them. Often things in plain sight with a minor twist make design acceptable.
Usualy not as clean as here, but most of the time yes. I try to keep my desktop organazized. You men organized? No! Organazized, it's a joke ;)
My name's Barnaby. I'm 17. And this is the workspace I designed, picked, bought and built.
I wanted something fairly cheap, as it was coming out my own pocket. Ikea seemed the best bet for this.
I'm pretty pleased with the results, especially with the small amount of space I had to work with.
The RGB LEDs were a last minute decision, but I'm so glad I added them in.
My simple workbench (a la make blog.makezine.com/archive/2007/11/workbench_1.html) made from some 2x3 and 1/2" plywood. Here about two days old and already drowning under junk.
Ran a wire down the side to connect my camera from the front. Don't do this often. Also have earphones handing down there for late-night parties! Ya digg? Haha.
This is based on another idea I got from Lifehacker which quoted Jerry Seinfeld as saying he puts a calendar over his workspace an for every day he writes a joke he places a X. The idea is to build a chain.
'"He said for each day that I do my task of writing, I get to put a big red X over that day. "After a few days you'll have a chain. Just keep at it and the chain will grow longer every day. You'll like seeing that chain, especially when you get a few weeks under your belt. Your only job next is to not break the chain."'

Found a neat little project on lifehacker. It's a lightbulb that has been hollowed out and made into a mini terrarium. [http://lifehacker.com/5413999/turn-a-lightbulb-into-a-mini+terrarium] (01/03/10)
Now with more working meters!
The small clock now actually moves, the health bar (bottom left) fills with cpu goodness, the dispenser now look much more like the in-game version and also has a bar showing free space on C:. I've added uptime to the teleport exit, and also the sentry's health bar now moves up and down with free space on F:.
Euro coins and banknotes.

After creating the original mind.Depositor with clips and used it for a while, I found a small problem but it bugs me on regular basis. To insert and pull out the cards, it requires force, no matter how small it is, it creates stress. That's why superior Japanese stationery designs often put into considerations how to reduce user efforts. They call the practice "Universal Design".
So I set out to do a simpler version by using two pieces of leather only. I also have a practice to carry a small notepad or Field Notes to capture to-do inputs temporarily before transferring them to GTD index cards. So I'm adding a slit for the notepad and a slit to store extra blank index cards.
On the left hand side of the cover, I can put a notepad by inserting it to a slit, put blank GTD index cards in the pocket and insert a Field Notes.
On the right hand side I can put two categories of index cards (Personal and Work) into different pockets.
There is also a flap used as a bookmark or enclosure.
The whole thing becomes more compact and functional. It requires less effort to use, it is a simpler design with pleasant leather as the only material, I'm so happy with it. I especially like the color contrast of the outer white and inner brown. So check out the sections below and learn how to create your own.

Controlling Windows Media Center, using a Wiimote hooked up through Bluetooth and GlovePIE software.
My work setup after the pilot program ended. (see previous post.) The wallpaper is here, original photo is here.
Stayed in the Marriott-Williamsburg where the VAST 2007 PDI was held. Wasn't able to check in until after 5:00PM. Upon taking a shower the next morning I was put off by how dirty the bathroom was.
The shower curtain rods and rings were rusting and bent up.

Just noticed that one of my favorite websites, www.lifehacker.com/, has a few Flickr groups. So that was the inspiration for Picture #299 for Project 365
All the "hurdles" for mentors to sign up for the program made sense, and the workflow was straight forward. This process is still pretty much in place except they have one application to complete and email back. Eventually, mentors will probably get a link rather than an application attachment, to an online form application.
Seeing this process led to significant changes in how the proteges enroll in the program.
This photo is part of my Evernote experiment.
I made a HDTV antenna for my new TV using coat hangers, screws, old coat hangers, and a OHM transformer. Cost about $15 and I don't have to give my money to Comcast! I'm already getting 720p and 1080i and most stations
My cool and simple desktop @ work. I like the idea of having a clean desktop with some 128px sized icons. That's it.
This is just a show of the rainmeter config I've been working on. It will NOT be like this, this is just me playing around after seeing this. I just thought it looked gorgeous because it's grungy and I too likes grungy.
One of the clock is real by the way, a rainmeter config of course. The smallest one between the two big clocks.
About the config I'm working on:
It is basically a replication of the RSS and Note you see here. It's not done yet, consider this shot a preview.
Future plans:
Improved taskbar and a better list of application launcher.
P.S
Is there anyone who can help me with clicking titles? I tried copying Kaelri's click-able button from his RSS-Feed Config -the title- ex. Lifehacker, Google News, etc. But I can't get it to function like that. Any answer would be appreciated.
Hope you all like it so far :]
Running:
Rainmeter - Salvage (grungy clock), and the thing I'm working on.
ObjectDockPlus - with Typewriter_Rough icons and Stack Docklet.
Open Sesame! Notice the cord management for all of the electronics is virtually hidden. All that is visible is the cord running up from the sub which I have encased in a sheath. All the other cords sit up above the sheath on a basket that is mounted to the wall behind that cross section of the desk.

This has 7 FREE desktop apps running:
1. Rainmeter
2. CD Art Display
3. Rainlendar 2
4. Obectdock
5. Fences
6. Yod'm 3D
7. Not really a desktop app, but an awesome add-on for iTunes called iConcertCal.
Major additions to what I have had in the past include the inclusion of Fences, I tried it a while ago and thought it was a waste of time, having the ability of hiding icons when it's just as easy to streamline everything with objectdock, I didn't understand it's use at all. But I realized there were somethings that I would navigate through a few times to get to that were easier to have on the desktop and hidden with Fences. I utilize Fences to hide my TV shows, icons for CNN, Hulu, Justin TV, and South Park and hide them all with Fences. It works out well.
One of my favorite new things is iConcertCal, a plugin for iTunes that gives you concert info for bands that are in your library and in your area, it's awesome. I procrastinate when it comes to getting out and watching shows, but the reminders that bands are playing in my area are great.
PLUS (I am a Rainlendar fan and can not figure out why people want to use the Rainmeter calendar with such limited capabilities) you can export the calendar to other calendars, so it integrates with Rainlendar quite nicely.
And Rainlendar and Dropbox are great together. I have Dropbox sync my calendars from home and work, so i can place work schedules, sports, concerts, TV, it's awesome. Lifehacker posted this as a tip a while back and it works so incredibly well, it's completely automatic so long as you have things run at start up.
Yod'm 3D- Honestly this is more for flash than anything, it has no real functional value for me. Since I use two monitors most of the time, I don't need virtual monitors as it seems like a lunky waste of time switching between screens as it does.
