A. Perform a screen capture of your desktop. It is best that no icons be deleted before the screen capture so as to add to the element of fun.
B. Post the picture in your blog. You can also give a short explanation on the look of your desktop just below it if you want. You can explain why you preferred such look or why is it full of icons. Things like that.
Uh, I think we all know by now why I have that wallpaper.
Home and File System are on there because I'm too lazy to go into the settings and take them off, even though I never use them. Even if I'm minimized to the desktop, I still go to Places->Home or Places->File System if I need either of those. And, really, I don't need Trash either, because that little icon in the bottom right is the same thing.
"FriedDou..." is a fried dough recipe, which I'll delete as soon as I make it. That spot is basically reserved for whatever recipe I have lined up to try next that I'm sick of having open in a tab. Before that, it was a combination of cupcake and frosting recipes, for when I was making lots of cupcakes.
"Needs U..." is Needs Uploading, and it's where I store all of the photos I plan on uploading to Tumblr, in sequential order, in whichever folder they belong to. Once I upload them, they get transfered to my Pictures folder.
"Insuranc..." is a screencap of my temporary insurance card, because my actual one is, um. Of shoddy design. And most of the writing has come off.
"CheatShe..." and all of the photos numbered with two digits are for Tumblr. The photos are pages I've saved from whatever comic I'm reading at the time (currently, it's Global Frequency), and the cheat sheet is the number followed by the basic shape of whatever text I want to put in the Tumblr post, to remind me which panel I need to crop to. When I get through the comic, those get moved to a folder in Needs Uploading, and I make a new CheatSheet file and start over again.
The one with lots of numbers is a cameraphone pic of my latest farmers market haul, which I haven't bothered to move to Pictures yet.
And the music file is Bruce Springsteen - The Ghost of Tom Joad. Because I have been listening to that on repeat a lot, and haven't bothered to move it to my music folder yet.
And then, the system tray, because it never changes from that, is: Volume, Shutdown button, Seesmic, Alarm Clock, second volume control (ihni why there are two), DC++, internet, Pidgin, Rhythmbox, Skype, VLC, Azureus, IRC, battery life, and the clock. The only one that occasionally gets closed is VLC, when I get sick of having it in my taskbar.
No, I don't know why I don't just send it to the system tray instead of closing it.
