WallFlower 1.0a1

WallFlower is a fun utility that displays images drifting about on your desktop. Choose from pre-made themes or create your own with the easy to use Theme Creator. Themes are easy to share with friends, just drag the theme file into an email and send it on it’s way.

Wow. And you say it’s written with this “REALbasic” thing? Huh. I see it comes in a super-cool installer .pkg, and conveniently overrides my install folder choice. Very well done, piDog.

But nevertheless, something nags at us slightly. Oh yes: the sheer fucking inutility of it all. And it’s not fun (like Docktastic Pro for example); it’s ugly.

In fact, our professional aestheticians have found WallFlower to be significantly uglier than any of the following, either alone, or in novel mix-n-match combinations:

  • Moltz and Schiller necking
  • Rixster enjoying his second egg-eating contest of the day
  • A anthrax-ridden wattled eelpout with poorly groomed anal soft rays
  • Pimento spumoni
  • George W. lovingly caressing a bear’s prostate with one hand while deficit spending with the other
  • A hideous sucking wound delicately topped with salad cream
  • Colin Pillenger savoring a lovely Earl Gray enema

piDog, your suggested $20 donation (88 Israeli New Shekels) is unpossible! May we suggest lowering it to $3.14 (21.99 Dog Dollars), and including a floating turd theme? With these changes, your rating would remain the exact same 10.8, but you’d have the satisfaction of a job well done.

First post! As if it matters.

Hey, hey, hey. I like Phil as a FRIEND!

OK, we did slow dance that one time, but it meant NOTHING!

With all of the links to weird stuff, this review looks like As The Apple Turns® (not a bad thing; just an observation).

I like the suggested price of $?

For your information, $3.14 is only $21.98 in Dog Dollars. Get your facts straight, buddy. Overcharging indeed.

MacEnvy,

For YOUR information, $3.14159265358979323846 in Dog Dollars is in fact $21.99 (after rounding).

Get your mathematical constants straight, buddy.

I got my mathematical constants straight once. I didn't get a lot else done that day.

p.s. - KABOOM!

This is the fanciest chicken I've ever seen. Heh, you Yanks are just plain crazy guys!

Moltz is in denial.

For YOUR information, "pi," 3.14 is not equal to pi.

Just to set the record straight, I much prefer Irish Breakfast for my morning enemas, while Earl Gray is reserved only for my overnight guests. As an occasional change of pace, I find that straight sulphuric acid can be most refreshing. I highly recommend it. We have met the enema, and he is US! Ha! I love international geopolitical humour!

By the way, any of you chaps happened upon a space probe lately? It was called the "Pit Bull". No, no, that's not it. The "Terrier"! No, that's not it either. Oh, well. We seem to have misplaced it. I've a free registration for WallFlower 1.0a1 as a reward for finding it. Contact me at the ESA (what a bunch of tossers) or the Ram 'n' Ewe pub. I'm off for a pint of bitters. Cheerio!
