That's a shame, I would think people would avoid the beach more for a fear of drowning, which happens a lot more often than shark attacks, that are actually very minor because they don't really go for humans. In one area of the Florida Keys where my family has a house there's a beach that's a popular swimming spot, and not a few yards away, a popular feeding area for sharks. It's almost always filled with lots of sharks, and people just swimming about close by. There's never been an attack by the way, it's pretty funny.
There seem to be a lot of desktop strategies. A lot of people go for efficiency, putting something plain up and filling it with everything they need. Sometimes this had a lot of stuff, widgets, docks, and a wide set of icons, and some are so simple as to have only a few icons in one corner.
I see a lot of really plain desktops, and then I see the ones with pictures that the icons are actually arranged around. I couldn't do that. I always need to set up my desktop, and then the image had better fit into that.
I also don't get why someone would go so minimal, hiding all the icons away. What, is the desktop a picture frame? I like to have access to as much stuff as possible from my desktop, but it seems that a lot of people shun its very existence.

Actually the real reason I don't go to the beach is because I don't like sand. I was just being silly about the sharks. We don't even have sharks where I live except for the occasional great white...

The only thing that would stop me going to the beach is jellyfish (and maybe nuclear armageddon). They frighten the bejeebers out of me (jellyfish, that is, although I guess nuclear armageddon would be pretty scary too).
My uncle was attacked by a grey nurse shark years ago. He was skindiving/spearfishing and knew it was in the water, but wasn't worried about it because they're supposed to be non-aggressive. It was quite a surprise when suddenly it was up close and sinking its teeth into his leg.

Mine's actually a step worse than arranging the icons around the image. I have them arranged into different groups. Audio files in the bottom right corner, for example. I do like to have access to a ton of things from the desktop, but at some point it becomes clutter, and my grouping method is an unfinished attempt to try and fix that a bit.

I don't really like going to the beach because of the sand (it sticks to you and gets everywhere), the salt (it sticks to you and gets everywhere), the sun (I don't tan, I only burn, and I need to put cream on every hour or something) and the water (I used to get ear infections all the time).
But I liked kayaking, sailing and scuba-diving. I guess I like the sea part much more than the beach part.
Actually, I like pebble beaches a lot better. Although there have been time when I went to the sea and only made sand stuff. If was okay because since I wasn't going in the water, I didn't need to take of my T-shirt or my cap so the sun wasn't too bad.
Is the jellyfish thing a phobia, or due to them being poisonous, or both? When I was a kid (spoilers added because if you have a phobia that might be scary for you)
I had jellyfish fights in Denmark. The water was just swarming with them, you were swimming in them more than in the water, and we had a snowball-like fight with them. The were probably unharmed because we had no strength at all but I still feel bad about that.
Anyways, just like sharks don't usually attack you so people who are used to sharks aren't really scared of them attacking, I've had much more experience with harmless jellyfish so the poisonous ones are really an exception for me.
Same with snakes, incidentally.
But I'm terrified of spiders, and it doesn't matter if they can't possibly bite me (because they're too far, because they're the wrong species, because they're a drawing and don't actually exist), and any experience with them just makes it worse, not better. I guess some things just don't make much sense.

You can't really see it in my screenshots, mostly because it's Ubuntu, but I have a sorting method too for windows:
- Garbage bin in the bottom right corner
- links to places (various drives, my documents, specific folders I want to access fast) on the top, from the left corner
- links to games and/or applications on the left, from the top corner.
And I never have two rows of something. If it takes the whole left or the whole top, I delete some, or I guess I could have some stuff at the right or bottom although that's never been an issue.
Then the middle is a workbench. Stuff I'm working on but should be deleted soon, stuff people have just set me, stuff I haven't decided where to put yet... things like that.
I don't know if I start squealing or faint in this moment.
How can I add the tag "Ginny squeals" to this thread please?
Edit: Oh, already find how.
@Highway: By the way, this image exactly is in 75dpi only because I forgot to put the SAI in 300dpi for some reason in that moment. So, there's no high res version of that one T_T

Awwww, darn! Actually, i think i remember you telling me that and that's why i didnt ask...

I will not trust my memory again. I was pretty sure it was 75 dpi the last I time I checked, but I now I checked again and it's 300dpi for whathever reason.
I took the picture yesterday, and in my defense, I only have games on my desktop that I haven't finished yet. So, that means I've finished all episodes from Telltale :P
You have such a unique style.
Every time I see talented people it makes me want to draw. Then I try, and I remember I'm terrible at it xD
Although to be fair, I'd draw more if I had a scanner or something.
I used some program called Wink, I don't think that was the name but it was a free software that let you take a bunch of pictures like it was a digital camera.
It also had video-recording, but it was to much for my old computer so I got rid of it.
I've only recorded off my screen once, and I cheated to do it. I broadcasted what I wanted to record on Livestream using Procaster, with it set to save a recording of what I broadcast. Other than that, I don't know any free way to do it.
Except...I just remembered one time that I did record a video of my desktop, back when I was trying to install Google Chrome but it kept disappearing on me before I could read the message. But I can't remember what program I used or if it was freeware or shareware.

Holy shit! I was in shock when I saw that. WTF?!

For me, yeah actually. Don't know why, but I just like it like that.

Look at it cross eyed. im slightly considering replacing Ginny's work with this... I must be crazy
Nice one.
The guy who painted that, Frank Frezetta, died about a week ago

I wouldn't mind
I hid the icons because the desktop was cluttered, I will have to clean it again soon...

Is this seriously making you squeal? I would have thought you'd be used to people complimenting your fantastic art by now
Awwww, darn! Actually, i think i remember you telling me that and that's why i didnt ask...
Not really.
I will not trust my memory again. I was pretty sure it was 75 dpi the last I time I checked, but I now I checked again and it's 300dpi for whathever reason.
No really, I swear.
So, whathever, do you want?

Now it's called Samurai Sam, because Lena's name is awesome ^^!
Neat!

Anyway, Do anybody knows any program to record the screen which is not the camstasia studio?
It also had video-recording, but it was to much for my old computer so I got rid of it.
Or do I get the question wrong?
Secret*: I want to do a tutorial of how I do the drawings is anyone is curious, but first I need a program to do a movie from my screen.
* Yeah, in a public forum _ _!
Except...I just remembered one time that I did record a video of my desktop, back when I was trying to install Google Chrome but it kept disappearing on me before I could read the message. But I can't remember what program I used or if it was freeware or shareware.
So...yeah, this post was pretty much useless.
And I don't know of any program that does that, sorry.
