Meh! My Brain Dumper database is messed-up after I upgraded to WordPress 2.3 a few days ago. Worse than that, the bloody “category to tag converter” thing deleted all my categories without a warning and the backup I imported does not include all the categories (don’t ask why!). Now I have to categorise all the posts one by one. Double meh! We’re invited to a fancy dinner party in London tonight, but can’t be bothered to get ready. I’m pretty sure we won’t go! Instead, we’re going to order oily Chinese takeaway and stay at home watching a movie or something! That is if I manage to finish writing a 1000 words report due in on Tuesday. Like Cleveland says: “dis’ gon’ be a looong day!” Oh, and I’m out of bananas! Damn!
But the good news is that I’ve been tagged by Samir to post a screen shot of my desktop… Hmm, sounds like a lot more fun than all the other things I have to do today. Plus, going through all the posts of other participants should at least keep me distracted for another hour or so!!! And that’s a good thing!
Here’s what you have to do if you are interested:
[TAG STARTS HERE]My Desktop Free View Instruction:
A. Upon receiving this tag, immediately perform a screen capture of your desktop. It is best that no icons be deleted before the screen capture so as to add to the element of fun.
You can do a screen capture by: [1] Going to your desktop and pressing the Print Scrn key (located on the right side of the F12 key). [2] Open a graphics program (like Picture Manager, Paint, or Photoshop) and do a Paste (CTRL + V). [3] If you wish, you can “edit” the image, before saving it.
For MAC users: Press [ Apple] [ Ctrl ] [ Shift ] and [ 3 ]
B. Post the picture in your blog. You can also give a short explanation on the look of your desktop just below it if you want. You can explain why you preferred such look or why is it full of icons. Things like that.
C. Tag five of your friends and ask them to give you a Free View of their desktop as well.
D. Add your name to this list of Free Viewers with a link pointing directly to your Desktop Free View post to promote it to succeeding participants.

[TAG ENDS HERE]
I’m tagging Boback (because I can!), Mr. Amigo (to see if responds before Christmas!), Dan (to keep him distracted from BA’s 8.2 billion dollar order!), Sheila (because I’m dying to know how many coco palms she has on her desktop!) and Jo (just for the hell of it!).
Let’s see which one of you lot is lazier than me!

Wordpress 2.3, woohoo!
I still haven’t been brave enough to make that jump. Will get around to it once I have surpassed procrastination and transcended boredom. Then, only then.
Thank you for answering the call to action … and that too out of laziness … I am always happy to be of service.
I think you can be very proud of your desktop. It’s certainly much snazzier than mine. You have the cool 3D graphics background … AND … and (this is vital), you have a “thingamajig” on your desktop! That is truly worthy of respect. I bow before your greater … err … greatness.
Now I want a thingamajig too.
That’s a tax bill. Let me know if you want to edit your comment!!!
Why did you upgrade to 2.3? Isn’t it still beta?
This has really traveled far and wide….I will add you to my list of participants.

whoa….how did I miss this before? Maybe the tag lost some of it’s strength as it traveled across the pond.
2.3 was released a week ago, Boback. I upgraded from 2.2.3 to 2.3.
Thanks for your comment, Eric.
And Sheila… I should have emailed you. But something came up and I totally forgot when I got back home… Sorry!
no worries, Jimbo…will try to get to this soon.
