I change it every day or two. Mostly it comprises pictures of family, the garden and random output of algorithmic art code I wrote a while ago.

I agree that the algorithm one is wonderful.

I changed mine today to a picture by Casper David Freidrich -a pretty landscape -I find it soothing.

All right then, I have uploaded the Mac versions of my program here for anybody who wants them. I do have a three year old PC version but I shan't upload that until I know it works.

Mine is in some kind of cool church auditorium, slightly raked seating, a balcony and some stained glass windows ... matinee performance lighting, with a black grand sitting on stage, open and ready to be played.  It's almost like my own, private place.  The Hall is completely empty of people (except for the camera-person, apparently).  Very inviting to me.  I've had it there for so long it just feels like home, as though I know that place very well, and when I found it, it just seemed exactly like what I was looking for.

I change my wallpaper often with my own photos.  Mine looks boring compared to all the above but here's what I have for now:



He's my cat, Bangkok.

You're new here aren't you?  Well we gotta bring you up to speed.


-I'm in love with Valentina Lisitsa, and I hate Bach.  Rachmaninoff and Scriabin are my favorite composers, and when I grow up I want to end the world by carrying out Scriabin's Mysteriums.

-J Menz and ajspiano are the same person.  J Menz only plays Bach and Alkan.  He says that he's not a professional pianist, but he really is.  So don't let him mislead you.

-Outin is Valentina Lisitsa's manager and I'm going to give her my hands in exchange for one hour with Valentina Lisitsa.

-401994856312Enrique is a workout freak, but he's pretty chill.  He's usually the one who breaks up disputes.

-Davidjosepha is a super hero.

-m1469 is a professional singer and an Amateur pianist.

-Chopin156402310 DOESN'T LIKE CHOPIN.

-Faulty damper knows everything.


That's all I'll do for now.  I'll give you a little more info on everyone else later.
