Amazing multipurpose mushroom, including a natural band-aid! lifehacker.com/5360855/make-an-emergency-band-aid-from-tr...
I decided some bands of rotating colour might do nicely for a poster background, open GIMP to do it, and discovered it wouldn't.
So I did it in RISC OS instead, using !Draw's Grade feature to interpolate lines of alternating rotated colour. Because !Draw can do more than this, I made the lines gently wavy to begin with. (Converted to a BMP bit map with !DrawToSpr.)
This gave me a circular do-dah with a fault in the middle (because you can't layer a sequence of lines so none are on top like impossible stairs). To get the size of the maximum inscribed circle, I rounded down the reciprocal root 2 of the radius, and took that as a centered canvas size reduction in PSP.
I got rid of the layers flaw with a second layer taken as a copy of the centre of the image, rotated 180° with it's flaw cut out, and recentred. Minimised the flaw first in MsPaint, temporarily replacing the centre colour with a contrasting one to make things stand out.
As I was repositioning the correction layer, using a difference filter, I noticed interesting interference patterns. So tried that again with multiply and a duplicate of the whole layer, and got much like what you see above. It just took clipping out the intersected area and a bit more resizing/clipping to get it as a standard screensize.
Each rotor consists of the same bézier curve, rotated so 16 complete a circle, and in alternate colours. 16 graduations between each of them were all that were necessary, and the lines are thick enough to overlap. This means that each of the two rotors consist of nothing more fancy than 256 wiggly lines.
This is my first really-cool looking wallpaper, and I expect to get paid a lot of money after sending it in the Lifehacker, dropped off in the foyer in a black refuse sack marked "thistles". Hang on a minute someone, just said they've disposed of the "toxic waste"...

Hi! I'm an 11 year old that loves lifehacker, tech, and programming! here is one of my desktops. modded theme menu bar and scroll bars. black dock pinned on left. obsidian icon set.
the board is marked (on the later "inner side" with up, down, front, back (in german), the motherboard was placed in what i figured the best spot (changed it afterwards) and the to-be-positon marked as well.
this may look trivial. in fact (if you are not european and/or familiar with IKEA) - mixing up different sides of boards it the major way to F??K things up with IKEA. the best advice is to actually compare the pattern in the manual (number of holes, alternation of big holes and small holes, etc.), read and think the manual to the end, so you dont end up with a visible unpainted edge or cannot find a hole anymore to fix a door hinge to.
despite the "easy assembly" approach of IKEA - the furniture is definitely not designed to be disassembled. so reversing steps because of mistakes will jeopardize the outcome significantly.
as my mom used to say - moved three times equals burnt down once. you can change the ratio to 2:1 in case of IKEA furniture.

I added a fold out map of the Chicago Loop in the front and an envelope to store checks, receipts, and other small papers, in the back of the notebook. This is a notebook I received at the Apple Store grand opening in Schaumburg, IL. The store is Illinois' first.

Yoga can do wonders for your health and well-being. It's possible that yoga's emphasis on centering, awareness, and focus are behind that immediate brainpower boost.

Plus(undocumented):
* + and -: Increase or decrease the intensity (brightness) of the particles; multiple presses further increase or decrease the intensity.
* A and S: Add or Subtract particles to the visualizer. You can make the visualizer as complex (or sparse) as you wish.
* R: Reset the intensity and particle count to their default values.
* E: When in nebula mode (press N), this greatly accentuates the nebula clouds, making them very easy to see. (If you’ve used the M key to change modes, you may find that the nebula clouds aren’t visible; it seems they’re only used in certain modes.)
