Gilded Posted October 20, 2004 Share Posted October 20, 2004 "Aren't there any girls in Finland?" Nay, thar be only arctic creatures (only sucky arctic creatures like lemmings, no polar bears or that sort :<) and... cloudberries. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gilded Posted October 20, 2004 Share Posted October 20, 2004 I'm going for one hundred decimals. I like pi(e), no other reason. AND, it's a good way to bore people to death. Hey, now that this is a wallpaper thread, has anyone found a good pic of northern lights/aurora borealis? With a high resolution, of course, for desktop wallpaper purposes. :| Yes, I tried Goo-Ghaling but couldn't find any nice enough. I should probably take advantage of freezing my ass in here, and take some pictures of actual live aurora borealis. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ed84c Posted October 20, 2004 Share Posted October 20, 2004 a good one is the matrix one using java script (yes it actually works and moves) with the letters coming down. Is there anymore similar ones that actually move etc like this one? http://www.usingit.com/products/js/background/matrixbackground/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gilded Posted October 21, 2004 Share Posted October 21, 2004 Heh, I took a picture of my bismuth crystal http://www.freewebs.com/gildedchem/crystal.JPG It's quite shiny... Mmmm. I'd be honored if someone had the nerves to use it as a desktop wallpaper. Edit: Btw, it's a really high resolution picture, about 930kbs. :< Takes a while to load, for slow connections.

ed84c Posted October 21, 2004 Share Posted October 21, 2004 how did u make it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gilded Posted October 21, 2004 Share Posted October 21, 2004 What? How did I make the crystal? I bought it, but bismuth actually can be crystallized easily like that (looks like a mayan temple or something ). If you mean how did I make the pic, I took it with a magical device called the camera, no editing. I'm quite sure you meant the crystal though.

I bought it, but bismuth actually can be crystallized easily like that (looks like a mayan temple or something ). aww, you should have made it your self. It's a lot of fun. I bought one too though a long time ago at a little rock store in santa fe not really knowing what it was. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gilded Posted October 22, 2004 Share Posted October 22, 2004 Bismuth is damn great. Especially for its weird metastability. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
