My old boat, summer 06 (december for us down here)

my latest one. Unfortunately not one of our own ships, but its an alliance partner and we have cargo on them. Its on the river Elbe, on the way to my Hometown Hamburg and its Container Terminal Altenwerder.

Here the new one for the desktop got it from Gnomelook.org Its a little feminine for me but its also really cool with the whole dark Wizard of Oz thing going on

BTW Yourhighness how many 40ft inter mobile containers will a ship that size hold. Seen a few IMC's with the Hapag-Lloyd Logo on them recently

Awooops. Looks like my notification is screwed. Didnt see any replies here

"Hamburg Express Class"

We speak of FEUs (Forty Foot Equivalent Units ) - here s what the HL says:

TEU: 7506 (TEU = Twenty Foot Equivalent Unit), hence your answer would be 3753 (if my mental arithmetic is right )
Speed: 25 kn (46,25 km/h) (means they can go 1110 Km in a day)
Length: 320 m
Breadth: 42,88 m

Thats a good sized average these days for the Europe - Far East - Europe trades. Although, Maersk does have bigger ones. Currently most carriers are being delivered vessels with capacities of ~8500 TEUs.

Thank goodness we dont have a contract for IMC's yet. Keeping our fleet of 53 ft box vans fixed is enough for me adding dollies and IMC trailers to the list would mean I'd be stuck welding everyday.

We call them IMC's because it groups all the sizes together.

Well Here is my desktop (names erased for personal measures)

My latest, I think I'm gonna reformat, I've been having a lot of trouble uploading lately and I'm getting tired of it....

My August Desktop. (starring the lovely Jennifer Hawkins)

A New OS ( PCLinuxOS )and A new Desktop

A neat favorite wallpaper.

my new one (removed name)

Got a new Desktop theme and wallpaper after removing tuneup. Settled for StyleXP v2 something (got it as a freebie with a comp mag and isnt as bloated ,as the tuneup part of tuneup was not really working lately and the styler could ve been gotten by itself too, which I didnt know back then ).



-edit- dang. BC is having hickups on me today .

Interesting

The background image is a bit dark, but came with the tool. All in all I like it just as much as Tuneup Styler. Although TUStyler is easier to navigate / set things through. Bare in mind that I am using v2 something, whereas current one is like 3.16. But since its a freebee, I wont winge .

If you are going to have a try of it, be aware that the exe files that are offered for download are containing SPYWARE.
However, if you cancel the download a few times and refresh you should be offered a zip version, containing no Spyware. (mhhm there was a quote somewhere, but i cant find it no more). I got it via a pc mag cdrom, which is safer than downloading it from a site you dont know / trust.

hth,

YoHi

thats why I liked it , it's a bit dark.. and I'm pretty far removed from using .exe files these days , but I still kind of like the wallpaper .
Take care

Mhhm, for some reason I dont get notified and it says i am already subscribed to this thread.

A little Humor in Uniform

Had to reinstall, so I put a new desktop on...

Click thumbnail

as much as i'd like to join in on this one, i don't think my desktop image would be approved. unless i could cover the rude bits up with my icons. lol. xxxxxx

Here is a slideshow of the current ones i change to frequently, all related to work or hometown:


Current one would be this one:

Excellent Photos 'Yourhighness' Thanks for sharing them with us.

Pleasure. Funny what you find when you look for something else. These are more less all new ones after losing my entire two harddrives contents of data . The ones I tried to find again, I naturally didn't find lol.

A first look at my new Ubuntu 7.10 Desktop (the reason I'm up this early)



Yes that is CompizFusion fading the dialog out (sweet!!!!)

latest one:

SNAGIT test

gives a "403" forbidden...



Wont work either

You probably tried while I was replacing with a slightly larger image. LOL

I like that one rowal5555

I finally changed mine

I use the beautiful, everchanging photos from Webshots, so this is another SNAGIT test for sizing. (I really like this programme.)

Is it worth signing up? You cannot download pics unless you signup

Is it worth signing up for Webshots Desktop? IMHO, ABSOLUTELY.

The free version limits you to 5 downloads/day and you can't get the Premium photos, but there are still countless millions there. I mainly stick to the PRO SHOTS and you won't find better.

I took out a one year subscription which gives me unlimited photos, widescreen format, and never regretted it for a moment. You do need to download their programme. It is part of the CNET/ZNET network so is totally trustworthy.

Try it and enjoy. If I ever want to run a screensaver, which isn't often, I use this too.

Cheers YH.

Carolina Hurricanes!!!!!

The image I made for last year's Christmas card. Well, it didn't include the desktop, but, hmmmm, still need to do something for this year.

I got this pic in an email, it's from somewhere in Canada....
