How to start a new year in a new Sweden

January 4, 2009 in personal by Daniel Nyström | 4 comments

So, almost all the main swedish bloggers I’ve seen has started the new year with a bad taste in their mouths, detailing exactly how much of our democracy and integrity we have lost in just one year. I agree with them fully, but it feels wrong to start a new year with a pessimistic approach.

Instead I’m going to start it by sharing some of my wallpapers I’ve created recently, as that’s what the Internet is all about. Sharing! I love French Bulldogs and I think it’s going to shine through a bit, but I threw one in that does not contain one ;) I’ve made them all to 1280×1024 resolution and they are licensed under a Creative Commons BY-NC license. This means that you are free to do whatever you want with them as long as credit is given and that you do not use them commercially.

These images has been shot by me and edited in The Gimp (an open source equivalent of Photoshop) and most are laborations with the Lomo-filter and different color curves from elsamuko.

I used Creative Commons licenses to waive some of my rights to the pictures above. If you want to support the great work that Creative Commons are doing, which is to allow an author to say “some rights reserved” instead of “all rights reserved” if he wants to, do so by joining the CC Network.

Also, if youre still longing for some negative news, as the ones I usually post about, head over to Mikael Nordfeldth’s blog and read his thoughts. The ZeroPaid article he’s using as a reference is also worth a read (while you still can)…

Aspire One wallpaper, Tree

November 17, 2008 in personal by Daniel Nyström | No comments

A1 wallpaper - Tree - icmpecho.com (CC BY-SA)
Click here for full 1024 x 600 resolution.

Just whipped up a new wallpaper for my A1, feel free to download and share (CC BY-SA). I have not tested it myself yet though, but it should fit right in.

Remember to remove that ugly search-bar before switching as it really doesn’t work well with any other wallpaper than the default. If you like the default one, there are also some mods on that available here.

All my previous posts tagged “aspire one” (and related) can be found here.

Cheers,

Aspire One: Wallpaper + removing the search bar

September 10, 2008 in linux, misc, personal by Daniel Nyström | 2 comments

My ICMPECHO wallpaper. CC Attr-SA 2.5 SE.
My wallpaper…

Got tired of the standard wallpaper and made my own. Feel free to download it in 1024×600 and use it on your A1.

Also, found out how to remove the ugly search bar from the desktop:

* Press Alt+F2 and type “xterm”.

* Write “su -” and type your root password.

* Edit the file “/usr/share/search-bar/start-search_bar.sh” with your tool of choice.

* Comment out all lines that start with “acer-search-desktop”. That is, place a # in front of them, save the file and exit the editor you’re using.

This is how your file should look when you are done:

#!/bin/sh
#resolution=`xrandr |grep \*|awk ‘{print $1}’`
resolution=`xrandr |grep current|awk -F”current” ‘{print $2}’|awk -F”,” ‘{print $1}’|sed ‘s/\ //g’`

if [ $resolution = "1280x800" ];then
# acer-search-desktop –x=650 –y=90 –width=490 –height=31
elif [ $resolution = "1024x600" ];then
# acer-search-desktop –x=510 –y=65 –width=490 –height=31
elif [ $resolution = "1024x768" ];then
# acer-search-desktop –x=510 –y=80 –width=490 –height=35
else
# acer-search-desktop
fi

Cheers to Heretic Studios for the original instruction!
