Remember, remember the Fifth of November,
The Gunpowder Treason and Plot,
I know of no reason
Why Gunpowder Treason
Should ever be forgot.
Guy Fawkes, Guy Fawkes, t’was his intent
To blow up King and Parli’ment.
Three-score barrels of powder below
To prove old England’s overthrow;
By God’s providence he was catch’d
With a dark lantern and burning match.
Holloa boys, holloa boys, let the bells ring.
Holloa boys, holloa boys, God save the King!
As well as a general re-jig of the rules, they’ve got something the D&D Insider. It’s a whole mass of online content that runs alongside of the real world books - digital copies of your books, the venerable Dungeon and Dragon moving from print to Online and so on. Most relevantly, a load of integrated tools to make D&D running easier. Character generators and similar. But, most rrelevantly, a virtual tabletop which you can push your figures around, run your dungeons (Or sophisticated castle diplomacy-rooms if you’re one of those people who actually role-play), SimPolyhedral Die, fully integrated voice-chat and generally everything you need to play the bloody game.
So here’s my obligatory desktop screenshot, where I share with the world all the bits and bobs I use on a daily basis. First up let’s start with the Dock. It’s on the left side. That’s crazy talk! I put my Dock on the left side so I can get more screen real estate for web browsing. It also seems a bit more natural. In my Dock I have the typical Finder and Dashboard icons. Then we have Camino, Skype, Transmission, World of Warcraft, Adium, Pownce (which I use for my miniblog feed on the right side of the page–>), Q (OS X port of Qemu), Cyberduck (horrible name, great ftp client). Then we have some Stacks of Documents and Downloads. The rest are minimized main windows of the previous programs I mentioned. The big grey window in the center of the screen is Overflow, sort of a hotkey-able dock that I put my less frequently used programs. Multiple browsers for testing web pages, IRC apps, a few development programs. At the top of my screen the only thing of note is Meteorologist, a sort of Mac Weatherbug without all the crap. Then we have a Webdav mount, a Samba share, my Firewire drive and my main internal. Exciting no? My desktop is from Desktopology, the only one that really struck me. I usually have my background change about once an hour though. I’m an impatient sort. That’s about it.
