Walking through walls....
Thursday, August 16, 2001 by Jafo | Discussion: WinCustomize Talk
Had a wonderful trip over the last few days........flicking through all the walls on the site....all 750+ of them.
Some interesting trends....
On the whole, the ratings are a fair reflection of the 'quality/effort/talent/ingenuity' that went into the work.
OK, there are one or two oddly placed walls to trip over....but most are spot-on....
Blue is the first colour that printers will run out of.
This cannot be refuted.
Britney Spears and her girl-friends are no-longer in the building....
If there were a filter that excluded any and all walls with reference to 'XP', then half the walls would be gone.
A 'successful' wall would be .....
blue...[definitely]
a little abstract.....[enigmatic]
bleak......[dark/sunset]
lonely...[one-only tree]....[no, not two, that's over-kill]
a one-word title.....['absurd' is good]
MUST have a Windows logo....[somewhere....not fussy where]
and...
Don't forget the 'XP'.....
Something else....
If I ever have the misfortune to meet a guy called 'Bryce', I'll stick my arm down his throat and rip out his dolphin and beat him to death with it....
[in a nice polite fashion, of course]...
