The girl you see on my desktop was the admin of a website and its forums. I visit both quite frequently though I no-longer post at the forums. The picture was made for her by an artist, and then a while later made into a desktop wallpaper. Due to the nature of the site she never posted any real pictures, or any other information about herself for that matter. She died on the 9th of January 2002 in a car accident. It was later revealed that she was Canadian, and lived and worked in Switzerland.
All I can say is rest in peace.

edit => Sorry about the bad quality of the image. Couldn't make it better quality and under 102K..

This is a good way to check what games are the most popular,
Almost everyone has a BG2 icon on his desktop, and some of you a warcraft3 icon.

Right click on the taskbar (that's what the thing on the bottom of the screen is called, right?) and uncheck "Lock the Taskbar". Then just enlarge the icons and dragNdrop it.

Ah frogus, I admire you greatly. By the absence of icons on my desktop you can tell I just cleared up especially for you guys, and only reformatted a week or so ago... Can you tell what I spend my time doing at University?

Sweeeet. Counter Strike. That game was always fun for LAN parties. Ah...I was always the decoy though. Occasionally I won the game for my team though. Ah that always feels good. Im good for a few good shots. But I always "take one for the team"
