My first avatar and name had nothing to do with each other.  Watched Underworld and the werewolf Raze, changed my avatar to a picture of Raze's eye.  Now I use my real name and a different eye avatar.  I like eyes.

Part of a bigger picture, currently a cover on my FB page (link in the signature).

 

- I'm a graphic designer so it shows what software I use mostly ( Photoshop & Illustrator)

- T-Rex is part of my logo, detailed info in the description HERE

Vladamir Putin signalling the Scientists that he's ready for the funk level to be increased.

 

This probably raises more questions for you.

 

Nope. That all made perfect sense. Best avatar story so far.

 

 

Ladies want it.

 

lol. Brilliant.

Mine is NOAA-18 AVHRR channel 4 imagery of Hurricane Mitch at peak intensity off the coast of Honduras on October 26, 1998 at 20:32 GMT.

I use it as the icon for my app Hurricane Tracker for Windows 8 and Windows Phone.

Currently a photo of a cake I made, well, just the decoration made from fondant icing stuff. Kinda cheated... Print, cut, trace, arrange, but I was pretty happy with the result :)

It is/was a Mario (of Nintendo fame) face, for anybody seeing this after I've changed it.

I grew up with so many devices which used it (Apple (Macintosh Plus), Commodore (Amiga), Sega (Genesis), etc.). I guess I could call it my favourite CPU of all time (mainly due to the amazing software people were able to produce with such little resources).

Might explain why you're called crashgordon?  :rofl:

Haha, no it doesn't have any relation to my username (well it might have after the incident), but that's a whole 'nother story. :P

 

Short version: Porsche Club weekend at Road Atlanta, damp track, borrowed car, exceeded the power>grip ratio and backed it into a tirewall just past turn 3. I was doing quick lap times and got the nickname of Flash Gordon, until the incident and someone said something like "needs to change his name to Crash Gordon" and I thought it was funny and embraced it. :D

    • Speaking of right, right dominant only which, as with most, makes this meaningless to me.
    • No, size is not the only selling point. I did not even remotely say that. Your claim was that "building your own will be faster and cheaper". This is false. You cannot build something close to that form factor with off-the-shelf parts. You can build a Mini-ITX PC and pay more, or something larger and pay less. But these are different market segments. It's apples and oranges.
    • There is a default resolution setting in Settings > Display that can be changed with a click. You can also change the settings on a per-game basis. No CLI needed. Also, Steam has countless games that are not "[perpetual] alpha/beta games", so no need for the straw man. Plus you can use other stores as well. And console games (e.g. PS5) cost a fortune, which itself more than negates the price subsidy on the system, unless you plan on exclusively playing 1 or 2 games. It's true that you shouldn't buy a system that doesn't support the game(s) you want to play, but I think that's kinda obvious, and applies to every console as well as PC. I don't game in the living room and have no need of a Steam Machine, but there is a clear market segment that would find it useful.

RSS Guard 5.2.0 changelog: Added: Feed auto-fetch can now also be delayed while Feral GameMode is active on Linux and startup auto-fetch is skipped when GameMode is already active. (#2265) WebEngine builds can now use RSS Guard generated proxy auto-config (PAC) rules so article/web browsing follows per-account and per-feed proxy settings more closely. (#2273) Generated PAC rules now also cover related subdomains and use Public Suffix List data, so feeds such as feeds.bbc.co.uk can also proxy resources from images.bbc.co.uk. (#2273) Standard feeds can now define extra proxy domains, useful when article images, stylesheets or other page resources are loaded from a CDN or another domain that should use the same feed proxy. (#2273) RSS Guard now asks for proxy credentials when a WebEngine page needs proxy authentication and can fill credentials from the current feed proxy when available. (#2273) Network settings again include an option to ignore all cookies, which clears stored cookies and prevents new cookies from being accepted. Standard RSS/ATOM feeds can now individually ignore cookies while downloading feed data. Stored cookies can now be deleted from the Tools menu. Custom skin colors can now override the feed list article count color separately from feed titles, including a separate highlighted color. (#2275) Settings dialog can now search across available settings and highlight matching controls. (#1754) Standard RSS/ATOM feeds can now optionally be reported as broken when they are valid but contain no articles. (#2039) Standard RSS/ATOM feeds can now override the application-wide feed connection timeout per feed. (#1023) Tray icon can now use a custom background color and unread-count text color, with an option to reuse the generated icon as the application icon. (#1973) Support for more benevolent parsing of Gemlog entries (#2295). Article list can now show when an article was received by RSS Guard. (#947) Feed deep discovery now actually scrapes all links found in the website and checks if they are feeds or not. This greatly enhances usability of the deep discovery mode and discovers many more feeds than before. (#2306) Search boxes now show a small dot when the feed or article list is hiding some items because of active filtering. (#873) Articles now have a shortcut-assignable action to open the homepage of the feed they belong to. (#2060) Fixed: Parallel feed updates no longer crash when multiple update results are processed at the same time. (64cf521) Links in WebEngine articles opened from feeds such as Kill the Newsletter now open correctly instead of being swallowed by the embedded page. (#2272) Relative article URLs resolution was kinda broken. (#2282) Clicking article URL did not work when the URL had "fragment" set. (#2293) The default proxy setting now uses Qt/system default proxy behavior instead of forcing no proxy. (e0263ad) WebEngine article loading now keeps the current feed context, so feed-specific proxy credentials remain available while the article page loads.
