Forget Pimp My Ride!

by Veronica

I pimped my computer, well sorta. I installed some fun programs on my laptop that allows my Windows XP computer to use some of the things that Macs uses or at least look like it, it’s nice. Preview is below, click thumbnail for larger view :)

I really like it :D I am not exactly use to it yet but getting there. I added the widgets for the picture frames and post its for just something fun to do. I also made the wallpaper myself, and I am pretty pleased with how it actually looks like a corkboard too haha. If you want to do it to yours too you need DesktopX for the widgets (frames and such) and ObjectDock for the bar below. I really like having it, spent well over an hour doing it though but I love the outcome.

So, as of Friday 5pm I am FREE. No more school until Fall term in August, I am so happy I can actually relax and not worry about exams and stuff. Tonight Becca and I plan on making some yummy dinner, drinking these interesting drinks I bought today (one is apple and one is mixed berry or something), and maybe play some Karaoke Revolution or something. May go to the mall Monday to job hunt, fun stuff. I plan on going home in the middle of May since my mother’s birthday, my sister’s birthday, mother’s day, and even Becca’s birthday is all around the same time (in fact Becca and my sister share the same birthday). I plan on staying about 2 weeks so I can work at the job I was at before, which is nice especially since I have yet to find one here. I shall go be a dork and play some WoW now haha. Only about 1 month until I have a Wii YAY!

    I LOVE LOVE LOVE ObjectDock! I use it myself and have customized all the different icons and such :) I’m thinking of trying out the DesktopX though, it seems fun :)

    You’re lucky you’re finished with school Friday, I still have 3 more weeks left!

    That looks wicked cool!!! Did the object-dock or whatever take a lot of space? If it didnt, I might consider downloading that, hehe… the screenshot is so trippy. I’m eventually getting a Mac though, they’re just better computers :]

    I still have til june 26 to work on school coursework. What’s worse is that the 26, I’m going to a rigorous summer program for 5 weeks, so I won’t have a free day until early August :[[[

    I could never get into Mac or it’s interface, but whatever floats your boat, eh? I love tricking out my PC, there’s nothing like a completely personalized computer interface to give you a mood boost. :)

    ObjectDock really looks cool! :D I’ve always wanted a pinboard like that for my website, but I think that’d be hard to realize :|

    That’s really cool. :B And as a mac user, I can say that the Dock deffinetely is pretty darn close to the real thing. n_n; And your background is totally cool. *nod*

    You are SO lucky you don’t have school anymore. We’re just heading into hectic mode and it’s INSANE.
