Not too pretty, but it works:

I spend too much time sitting in front of a computer at work, and I don't even want to talk about my lousy laptop habits at home. When I read about a standing desk at Lifehacker, I thought it was worth a try. Only problem was lack of space in the master bedroom, and I'm too cheap/strapped to spend any serious money on this.

I wound up taking an old bookshelf I had in my spare bedroom and using the top of it (which happened to be about 44" tall) as my iBook workspace. So far, it's worked pretty nicely. I may need to get some sort of gel mat for less beating on the feet.

Of course, I couldn't just stop there-- I had a bunch of electronics (laptops, netbook, cellphone) that I need to recharge frequently, and they were in a tangled, disorganized mess on my floor. So I decided to make a small mod or two that would let me use it as a charging station, too.

It's still a work in progress, mind you, but it's a definite improvement from before.

When you don't want to wear earbuds at night, put this against your ear and listen to your ipod.

Trying out this Lifehacker tip. I don't know if I'll use it, but was curious to see what it would look like. (I didn't use it to drive home from the office, I know the way.:)

Wanted to make it look like a had a menubar on the top and bottom. Didn't turn out as well as I hoped, but it's ok.

My custom built PC.

I meant for it to sit inside my desk cupboard, but I sort of forgot to measure it first.

Specs:

i5 3570k

8GB Corsair Vengeance

AMD HD 5770

Antec Kuhler 620 Water Cooling

Bitfenix Shinobi case

1TB Samsung Spinpoint

Hackintosh'd on 500GB second hard drive (thanks to Lifehacker for step-by-step)

I have searched everywhere for a suitable Moleskine-style iPad case over the past few months. Lifehacker ran this a couple of weeks ago and I finally got around to making one. It's wonderful.

I find it amazing how easily people give up their phone numbers even while complaining about all the annoying phone calls they get. Sure, this sign at Marshall's may say that they will not call for any sales solicitation, but I'm sure certain calls don't fall within that and are thus "legitimate". It's pefectly fine to say "no thank you" when salespeople ask for your phone number. As the note says, you are not required to answer that question.

At four patties to a freezer bag instead of the 9 shown in Lifehacker's blog entry, the patties are a bit bigger than a traditional hamburger bun. It made no difference to Ben!

to make a tripod mount:

use contact cement to fasten mount to camera bottom (piece of wood with a nut glued in it with the tread size that fits your tripod) place the nut under the lens.

here is a photo of the wood: www.flickr.com/photos/safoocat/2049998851/in/set-72157603...

Jan 16, 2008 I just ripped off the velcro as it wasn't stable enough, perhaps extra strength would have been and I'm going to use contact cement to glue the wood directly to the bottom of the camera.

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.

Line up the stem along the barrel of the pen with the flower at the top of the pen, and wrap in floral tape.

A bit messy but oh well, wallpaper from

I got a $5 bouquet of carnations, which can tend to look pretty cheesy on their own, but if you take out the greenery and bunch them together tightly, they look pretty cute. I made some mini-bouquets to set around the house and help bring some color to our gray days.

Hello everyone.

I know it's been a while since I last posted something (and I'm sorry if some of you are disappointed. The reason why I have been gone in desktop customizing is nothing else but college... And let's also add the word "fiancée" here. YES, SHE IS TAKING ME AWAY FROM THE THINGS I USED TO DO~! Jokes!

Anyway, I don't know if I will still be doing any big projects like I did when I was still active in desktop customizing.

While summer break is just around the corner, I thought I wanted to work on another desktop theme. However, just don't see myself going there at all.

Some of my plans for summer are:

-To make me and my friends' website come true. (Anyone interested, please e-mail '_')

-To make my own customized theme for my iPod Touch. I was literally blown when I got that theme I'm using to work. I will try, it doesn't look simple but it's definitely worth the learning experience.

-To rest and settle down. It's been one year of stressing! (Winter Break barely let me sleep a blink).

-To face my responsibilities seriously. I am now engaged, living independently and I have a lot of things to take care of. Getting a job would be what I need (maybe)... I guess I can't just be careless anymore.

In other words, college is indeed a life changing experience for me. I will miss the old days of coding and the accomplishments I received in courtesy of Lifehackers.com. However, I have a lot more important things to spend time on.

This isn't goodbye, I'm merely announcing that I won't be doing anything related to desktop customizing.

So, to the many of you who had sent me a heartwarming e-mail regarding my next project and for giving me support - I am very sorry.

Moving on to the desktop business:

I've only just noticed recently that rainmeter has evolved into higher league. It looks amazing and the ability to transform your hard worked themes can now be extracted to .exe format. I am amazed and to those who still perpetuates to code rainmeter, you guys are the backbone of today's modern desktop customizing. Because I know that everyone in this community knows that our desktops are so much cooler than the rest ;)

Moving on, I am running Saad Baig's 8Bar after asking for a request. I think it looks elegant and I will be using this for a great while (I have been using Back2Skull since I released it).

Anyway, be sure to check it out. This thing's pretty fun!

Have fun, everybody!

This is the wide-screen wallpaper featured on the desktop that I submitted to the

Lifehacker Desktop Show and Tell group. These bungalows are at the Sheraton hotel in Moorea. I took this shot on my honeymoon back in 2001. 1680 x 1050 size

This is my desktop setup on my 20" iMac. I've got a second 20" monitor attached to it to the left.

I prefer a darker theme, as it I find it easier on the eyes. In general, I don't see much of the desktop, so the lighter part of the right screen is rarely seen. I've shamelessly used the background, and the adium theme from another Lifehacker post.

On the left, I have Windows XP running in Unity mode with VMware Fusion. The theme I use is the Zune windows theme.

UPDATE:

The right wallpaper (the cityscape) is here: my.opera.com/eduardt/albums/showpic.dml?album=392419&... - I have no idea if this is the original source, as I found it in a wallpaper pack. It's so hard to find good widescreen wallpapers.
