Having a Longhorn Desktop now

Been having a lot of fun at work lately. Very busy but still incredibly fun. For one thing, been working on a bunch of different programs at once. Namely:

DesktopX and DesktopX Pro
IconDeveloper
WindowBlinds 4.2

Today I discovered the joy of combining Flash and DesktopX together. Holy cow can you do some neat stuff. I took a Flash Tetris game and turned it into a DesktopX object.

I also made a movie of my desktop for this month. Here's a screenshot of it:

Way cool! I had the sound off but got the gist

Just kidding, I watched (and listened to) the movie. So, it was about 6:30 and 41 degrees out. Better bundle up and go home

Help, I can hear you talking about your desktop but am not seeing a thing. What am I lacking on my new computer causing this. I do have Windows Media Player but nothing's showing up. Again, help!

You may need to upgrade to Media Player 9.

Got it but still have some tinkering to do with it - hopefully I'll figure out how to make it clear now. Thanks.
