NEW WALLPAPER!!!
I'm not sure what look I'm going to go for with my new desktop. I'm considering seeing if I can rip off KDE's icon themes to save me some legwork, or making the new theme be what I use to learn Blender & get better with the Gimp.
Whatever. I have no idea what to make my screen look like. So it's tricky putting an appropriate wallpaper onto the background. But I was playing around with some of the screensaver hacks (Xscreensaver, I have missed thee! and one of those gave me an idea...
It's called "webcollage" and it's certainly a NSFW option: It randomly grabs image files and makes a collage of them on your screen. And of course, we all know what that means...
But you can ALSO set it to run like a wallpaper - like you can any Xscreensaver hack (which prompted Tina to ask if I could find a Windows version of the GLMatrix one) but more importantly, you can set it to generate a screen-sized collage in a JPEG gile, and then set THAT to be your wallpaper.
Which means, to summarise:
Running the command /usr/lib/xscreensaver/webcollage -size 1280x800 -delay 2 -v -imagemap ~/background in Debian will create a file in your home directory called background.jpg which is made up of random image files from the web.
How cool is that??
You actually get a surprisingly low amount of porn at the default settings, and could probably reduce it even more with a little work. But it really is fascinating, seeing what you get as a wallpaper with this...

Genesis 19 is a fun little tale, full of reversals and surprises. It begins with two angels going to visit Lot in Sodom. Lot welcomes them in and offers a good foot washing and feeding session. As is polite and in custom with receiving visitors. Especially angels. Shortly after they arrive, the local men turn [...]

And I'm not really sure where this question came from except that this photo has the words "Mother Nature" in it and that made me start singing "Mother Nature's Son" and then I just couldn't stop singing it so I thought maybe if I asked you what your favourite Beatles' song is I'd stop singing that song and start singing a new one and that could be fun.So, let me ask you. Because I love the
