Share Your Desktop with the DBT Readers



Some five minutes ago I was talking with Abhijeet over IM and he asked me what my desktop looks like (desktop here being your wallpaper combined with the icons and whatever you might have on your computer screen).

When he asked that I thought that perhaps it would be cool to share that picture with all the readers. Not only that, perhaps it would be cool if you guys sent over an image of your desktop, and then I would write a post with a collection of them.

Sure this won’t give us any vital blogging tip, but we have an engaged community around the blog, and it would be interesting to get to know the “behind the scenes” of some bloggers.

So if you want to see your desktop published on a future post, just send to me on danielATdailyblogtips.com. The picture above is my desktop. Hey, I never said I had a cool one!

    Mine looks exactly the same. The standard orange Ubuntu wallpaper.

    I can tell you I didn’t install Ubuntu to make it look pretty like Windows, so I just haven’t felt a need to change mine yet.

    Here’s mine: http://xs229.xs.to/xs229/08284/desktop126.png

    Uncluttered; the ‘G’ is for the University of Georgia, one of my alma maters. :) GO DAWGS! I usually change my wallpaper to fit the season or how I am feeling. Since our beloved mascot (Uga VI) died, I have had the Georgia ‘G’ up. :)

    Count me too please. Just mailed you the screenshot.

  10. Muhammad Siyab on July 11, 2008 1:22 am

    Wow, that’s neat and clean… Daniel, why not sizzle it up by adding a background image?

  11. chaplainandrews on July 11, 2008 3:41 am

    Just sent my screen shot–
    I would love to learn more about how to organize all the stuff that I build up…I learned a thing or two just from looking at your desktop.

    My desktop is too messed up for this site! Hahaha.. I have mp3s and vids lined up on my desktop ready for my blog.

    You make me feel so guilty. This is what my hubbie wants our desk top to look like but unfortunately he has to share it with me! I’m too lazy to go to MY side of the computer – I’ve been using his for so long that all my good stuff is there. (I know that this is not a REAL excuse – I just like being on his side. ;-) Poor guy.

    Hey, I am also in line with you, though not exactly like you (I mean, your desktop :) ). I have like some 19-20 icons on my desktop and it covers almost 40% of the space. However, you must see my manager’s desktop – boss, you need to use a magnifier to see empty space there..! :D

  15. Grant on July 11, 2008 8:31 am

    Wow Daniel, my initial thought was that is boring man. How do you look at that every day and be inspired with creativity? It’s like having every wall in your house painted white, without a picture, painting, or photo anywhere to be seen. My opinion on it anyway, I don’t mean any offence of course, I just couldn’t imagine logging onto my pc every morning and seeing that to start that day. :)

    I prefer to change mine fairly regularly, and keep the icons pretty clean. I do run dual monitors though so I have plenty of space.

    This is what I have up at the moment. Clean, but still nice to look at. http://i36.tinypic.com/260qww7.jpg

    I applied a technique to my desktop that involves creating a formated wallpaper within which you can arrange your icons for a productivity boost, worked for me.

  17. shawal on July 11, 2008 11:42 am

    Simple desk….

  18. redwall_hp on July 11, 2008 2:01 pm

    Nice desktop, @Grant.

    Now here’s mine: http://i38.tinypic.com/5ai51l.jpg

    Simple, clean, uncluttered. Secret to consistent content creation without any distraction.

    I was using the same icon layout but then i shifted to using RocketDock

  22. Melvin on July 12, 2008 12:58 pm

    Mine was w/3dna desktop installed… but will probably send you a different pic… ;-)

    Here’s my desktop: http://www.webrampage.com/images/desktop.jpg

    I came up with a cool idea to organize icons where I can find them easily. Its a lot better than keeping things in columns (like everyone has).

    Nice, huh? Nice wallpaper too. :)

  24. SEO Genius on July 19, 2008 7:48 pm

    Just sent my desktop good idea, and i love the results ;)
