I like to change up my digital environment sometimes. Do you?

For me it's a calming act... if I feel out of control I can simply switch things up on my computer and such and suddenly everything feels fresh and new to use. I've done something! I've changed something I interact with every day! It keeps me happy. Plus, variety is just nice.

This serves as a little record of how I've set up my desktop over time, I suppose... although it's fairly new so it's not much to look at... wait a year or so and then you will see, hehe.

My Uyuni-themed desktop.

Not the nicest and I switched the apps and widgets around a bit (several times) but it tided me over and I was happy with it. The little Uyunis are free-to-use adopts from Brie's website!

Unfortunately I don't have the source for the Uyuni art on me anymore... I really apologise. It's somewhere on Pixiv.

I switched the resolution on my laptop to 4:3 despite it not being built for that just because it's nicer to look at, in my honest opinion. This one is Shinjuku Gewalt themed... I think it's cute.

My friends joke about my cluttered desktop but really it's incredibly orderly. I usually use my apps in full-screen mode anyways these days... so it doesn't really matter.

I switched to Linux in a fit of rage... to put it the least embarrassing way, I applied an Angry Birds desktop theme accidentally and became too frustrated that it happened to bother to mod my Windows 7 titlebars and stuff back in. so i just switched to Linux, and lost a lot of my data while trying to pick which distro I really wanted.

This has always just been to tide me over, though; I'm getting a cute new laptop soon, and I'll have to keep Windows on it for study reasons, so I didn't put too much effort in here.

I spent a bit wrestling with Mari to get everything working... at some point after trying to change the system locale she started crashing the moment the login screen loaded, yelling at me that DWM was crashing several times in the past 15 seconds, and leaving me with an empty screen save for my cursor!

All is well now though. I still miss my gadgets collection but this is cute cute and that's what's important.
