Well as many of you know today is Talk Like A Pirate Day.  In honor of this most auspicious day, I present to you the ‘Avast, ye.’ desktop:

Avast, ye.

I will be back later to talk about K2, Believe, Shuttle and anything else that catches my fancy, but for now get to practicing your pirate-ese people!

If you post about this on Twitter, please use the hashtag #silly531.

No problem, I can understand wanting to see it… especially on a server that isn’t crawling.

Yes Joen, it could. When I release this plugin to the public, it will probably be that way.

Phu, lol.

I was pink for a while, due to the previous version of my site, so I asked to get something more manly :)

Sweet, still waiting on a couple of other things from you Mr.Davis sir, how was the weekend, you never said anything, I was expecting stories of taking an early return due to the baby and whatnot, soo disappointed :).

Yeah I know khaled, I am still planning on getting to that for you. And there is nothing really to report on the baby front.

Heather is still not dilated at all; we are just waiting for the show to start.

Mike, yeah right, I hope Rikke holds the damn money in your relationship, because you’re such a buyer! Marketing people think of you when they’re divising their strategies :).

I’m also wondering what the comment background colors symbolize … is it all random? Or is there a pattern?

Chris has given certain people (i.e. his rivals) special colours so that he can quickly find them and beat them down:)

I have way too many Buy Nothing Days’ as it is

I’d smile but it’s all too true in my case…

Chris has given certain people (i.e. his rivals) special colours so that he can quickly find them and beat them down:)

I love that. So he’s manually added certain people’s email addresses to a database (avid commentators no doubt), and visually distinguish these?

It could be automatic, based on post count, couldn’t it?

Are you supposed to dress like a pirate too?

Christopher,
Good, let that be a lesson to you, now walk the plank!

Joen,
Good question, and for an answer I would say nothing. Applying the text filter to make everything pirate speak makes me giggle… not like a little girl mind you, but giggle none-the-less.

But since I am want to jump on anything that seems fun, I will celebrate this ‘Buy Nothin Day’ of which you speak as well this year, look for a slightly trendy desktop in the near future.
