Desktop Wallpaper
December 31, 2007 – Click on image for higher resolution version.
I love using my photos and graphics as backgrounds for my computer desktop, but hate having icons cluttering up the image. So using ImageMagick and a little scripting, I created some Desktop Wallpaper with my graphics to the right of the screen so I have space for one line of icons. I’ve uploaded twenty-six, both fractals and photos, for others to use. The gallery of wallpaper was generated using Curator, a command line program that I downloaded from the Ubuntu repositories.

Sheila is visiting again. One of her nicest traits is that when she rolls over on her back, she actually wants her chest rubbed, and is not trying to sucker you into getting your hand lacerated.
December Sunset

We don’t often get sunsets at this time of year like this one several weeks ago.
Ice Fog

One or twice each winter, we will have one of these weird gray days when the snow falls continuously, but the rate of evaporation equals the snow fall so there is no accumulation beyond an inch or so. As usual when this weather occurs, the horses are ignoring their stalls where they could stay dry and standing braced against the snow instead. Every once in a while I will look out and catch the horses playing in the snow. Hap is still a graceful creature, even at the age of 22: the other two, not so much.
Xmas comes early

Today we had installed a new double oven to replace the approximately 22 year old single oven that was no longer maintaining an even temperature. (And yes, we do have a lot of appliances.)

Google Maps

When Google Maps first became available, we noticed that the entrance to our drive way was shown as being near our northwest property line, instead of near the southwest corner. Google now allows you to move markers. In this satellite photo found on Google, you can clearly see the difference between our main horse field and the one we enclosed several years later and still call the new field. You can also see the track that leads through the new field to the gate to the old field. I am surprised that it is so clear because it only gets driven on one or twice a month.
