And now for something completely different

Right, you arty types - yes, those of you that don't run away screaming when faced with Photoshop. OI! Don't try to slink away, I'm watching, y'hear?

This is the situation: I'm guilty of false advertising. My avatar says "Linux Powered", yet the only Linux I use now is on the house music and movies server (and doing tele-support for American forum members ). That's right, desktop Linux is too time-consuming and too unreliable for me to use it now that I have a proper job and all that. My laptop doesn't have it, my desktop uses WinXP by default (though Gentoo's still there... somewhere) and the house server uses... Linux.

Also, most of the hardware in my sig is dead or cannibalised to feed the living.

So I want you to make me a Kaitain theme - AOA avatar, graphical sig, if you're feeling keen throw in some desktop wallpaper (2560x1024).

The only rule in this is - no photos of me, at all, whatsoever. I don't even have a mirror at home - makes shaving a bloody hell, but beats permanent retinal damage.

The prize: the theme selected will win its creator a patent Warm Fuzzy FeelingĀ® and maybe the memory from the newly deceased system 1 (768MB cheap rubbish) if I can be bothered and you need it.

So, you want an avatar, sig and wallpaper? How about landscaping your garden as well? Perhaps, a matching tatoo on your backside?

Landscaping the garden would be good

(BTW I fully expect this to be ignored, but it's worth a try )

So this is like the middle tool we've herd so much about!
Or did that have something to do with education?
