UPDATE: Of course the moment that I open my mouth, I find an incredible implementation of Virtual Desktops, open source no less.  If you are into this sort of thing you owe it to youself to check out Desktop Manager.  There are some fuzzy things about the UI, but since it is open source I DLed the source and I am going to massage the UI a bit to make it more Chris-friendly.

So I am up at 4:13 am, paying the price for a nap I took from around 4:30 to 7:30 or so Sunday the 4th.

A wierd thought crept into my head as I sat here listening to some tunage and surfing the web, "How cool would it be to have multiple desktops in OS X, ala every Linux desktop known to man, but with an Aqua twist?".  I looked around and there really wasn't a viable solution that I liked, that felt integrated into the system and employed the now legendary Mac-ease-of-use.

So now there are a couple of thoughts running around in my head in regards to how to implement this;

1. The first time I saw the Panther implementation of Fast User Switching I thought, Self(that is what I call myself you know.) Self I says, you tack on a nice UI that is accesable as a key combination and that could be a nice virtual desktop system.  Create as many vDesks(accounts) as you need forgoing the password option and there you have it, you could easily move left and right from your current vDesk position using something like shift-apple-arrow.
2. Then there is always bypassing the built in features of the OS and build one from scratch.
3. The last option would be to combine some of the functions of fast user switching with a couple of custom methods.

This will probably be what I do, if I decide to continue on the Virtual Desktops path.  Not sure the end result is worth the effort really.

We'll see.
