Of Desktops and Pro Accounts


Well I haven't really been able to make a "proper" downloads area due to my schedule, but you can find the first batch of desktops here: /download/desktop/.


The skinny on the images


I thought I would release the spring desktops first, and then add the winter ones later this week.  For those of you who were requesting the image in the previous post, it is this one, Spring_Flowers2.  There are 5 desktops all together so be sure to take a moment and look at them all.  The dimensions of each image are 1363 x 1024, I wanted to retain the dimensions of the original image, so you can just set your computers to fill the screen with the image and you should be fine.

And now about that Pro Account stuff


So I am an avid flickr user.  And, recent worries aside I have found them to be an amazing service.  I hve been considering upgrading to a Pro account, but couldn't justify spending $50+ on an account.  So let me tell you how pleasant a surprise it was this morning to find out that I had been upgraded to a Pro Account!


It seems that the boys and girls at flickr announced thier "early adopter" incentives, and one of them was two free Pro accounts to give away.  Apparently Skippy decided to favour me with one of the free accounts.  There are no words for how cool that is, or how great he is for being that generous.  This is the type of act that only goes to verify my statements, and Skippy's about relationships and the validity of the internet as a community.


I just wanted to say thank you Skippy, and again say how speechless your generousity makes me.
