I’m sure I don’t need to explain.

Not to me, he was awesome against Rabchenko the other night!

I've never much bothered.  Historically I've always disabled desktop wallpapers as due to the way previous versions of Windows used to draw the screen it was a massive performance hit.  In Vista days I had some swirly colours that I liked, rather than a a "photo" exactly (I might see if I still have it).  I currently have the default Windows 10 backdrop, I'll probably change it at some point when I can be arsed.  My work laptop has a solid colour (it should be a policy-enforced corporate backdrop but I found it to be too bright and distracting so I deleted it and then removed my own permissions to the directory so that it couldn't be forced back on the next time I logged in).

I use the desktop as a dumping ground for things that I'm currently working on or that I need to do something with at some point.  That's about a third of the screen covered in icons on my home machine and probably over two thirds at work.  What's the point of having a workspace that you're not using?

I have a folder that I throw stuff into that I like - mostly Pinkbike photo epic type stuff, etc.

Then a cycle time of 1 minute to keep it changing

You have a new desktop wallpaper every minute?  Wow, that'd drive me round the bend.

New work desktop to remind me of a nice day a couple of weeks back before the snow.

Me and the wee man to remind me that there is a life outside of a midlands industrial estate.

I used to be a solid colour kind of guy, but I changed to some pictures of the Aurora I took last year when on my mum's bucket list trip with my brother.

I was going to get rid of them, but she died about a month ago so they can stay for a bit longer - reminding me of good times.

The perfect gravel bike from when all bikes were gravel bikes.

1893 Rudge. It's the inspiration for my latest project. 🙂

Can you see what I find interesting on it?

Desktop - black solid colour. Populated by billions of files and icons. Phone - photo of Laura Palmer from Twin Peaks (fire walk with me). Cos I love Twin Peaks. And I fancy Laura Palmer.

So elegant.

A mate had a Rudge Ulster motorbike in the early 70s.

He could buy all of your houses now if he still had it.

i did once value all the motorbikes I owned in the early 70s. I nearly called the Samaritans.

i now own this bit of SS niceness with the best EBB I've tried yet.
