Bill really… 9 out of 10 things I write contain code with maybe a paragraph of text. I will tell you I dont proof read. I barley spell check. What I do do however is write code that works. With limited time I will continue to focus on the code and hold off on the Pulitzer.

Like Zsodhi said, YIKES! I haven’t seen grammar/spelling this bad in much outside of my 8 year-old’s homework packet. You want to be taken seriously as a blogger/writer, clean up your writing.

To improve on the Wallpaper prank. Do as you list, then right click the desktop > Arrange Icons By> Show Desktop Icons to remove the icons and not lose anything. Then right click the Task Bar and turn off the Lock the Taskbar select. Drag the taskbar to the Top or Right or something. Then right click it again and go to Properties and select “Autohide the Taskbar”. Now it’s like the whole system is locked down… even when they restart it’s gone…

Added Fun: If you take the Screen shot into Photoshop, the Liquefy Filter can be fun… or desaturated… or negative/inverse. I like to catch people when they leave programs running and walk away… take the screen, (I have Photoshop CS Portable and brushes on a stick) Take it into Photoshop and use a couple of interesting splatter brushes real quick….

but then…. I’m an asshole.

Instead of deleting the icons, right click on their background, then highlight Arrange Icons By, then click Show Desktop Icons.

It’s a lot simpler.

Do you proofread this stuff before you write it?

Quality precedes quantity!
