Ignore the dock on the second monitor, it's going away, I've just kinda forgot it there.

It ain't much, but hey, it's home. ^^

I did try my hand at ricing for a few days, but... I'd rather make websites than play around with openbox. Easier to show to people.

Finally feeling at home. Gotta fix the clock next time I'm on Windows though. Not very wise waking up after a one hour nap to see the clock says 9PM, when in reality it's 1AM.

Any tips on how to start ricing?

Disable desktop shortcuts and set your taskbar bar to hide automatically, that'll get you most of the way there
Access the stuff you use shortcuts for via the start menu

color scheme i use for terminals
if anyone's interested i can post the color codes

Slight update since I last posted - did some changing of the theme, colors and what not. Been spending quite a bit of time in Windows lately so wanted to make this feel really nice when I do login to it. Time to work on a homepage for FireFox!

Homepages are nice
Lemme know if you need any help with one

All good. Found one I liked and just adapted for my own purposes. Kind of clashes with my overall theme, but I like it nonetheless. Rotating wallpapers & palettes.

The more friends I make, the more timezones I've added to this top bar. Now if only I could make better use of mine. ^_^'

Ahhh, finally settled into my new workstation. I didn't think I could manage dual-monitor setup on this desk, but I even managed to squeeze in room for a Misaka figurine in front of my mouse. She's such a cutie. <3

Hehehehe. It's this one, right here! I've also got a Kirino one, which I'm tempted to place alongside her. Might take some photos someday too. ^^

Pretty much any non-tiling wm I'd expect to be pretty easy

used to have that homepage, pretty cute. i swapped it eventually though

Anywhere I can grab a copy? I was thinkin' about making one like that, but I never had the time.

I'm using this one: https://github.com/gokoururi/homepage

but maybe you'll like these as well:

have fun!

Did we really write this in twenty-seventeen? Man, time flies. I didn't even get to properly thank ya! ^^'7

I've been using a buncha these on and off in the intervening years. My favorite was E66666666's, but he seems to have taken it down... Mmmh.

Well, regardless~. Maybe there's a copy on my old laptop's m.2 boot drive. I'll check it out later...

In the meantime, I've been using a Firefox Add-On called "Tabliss". Caught my eye recently, since unlike similar ones, it doesn't need any permissions to run. I think it looks nice, ne~? ^_^

I made this start page a couple years ago. It's just a list of links though, nothing fancy. It's ripped off the style of someone else's that I saw online and was simple enough for me to replicate. Lewd is being hovered over so you can see the gnarly CSS I added. Maybe I'll make a new one soon.

    Erika damn, this may be 4 years old - but does anyone have any resources on start pages like this one? specifically the link tabs? looks very cool
