763 – Computer Packet Pattern
all in one desktop computers

Image by Patrick Hoesly
IF a packet hits a pocket on a socket on a port,
And the bus is interrupted as a very last resort, And the address of the memory makes your floppy disk abort, Then the socket packet pocket has an error to report!

IF your cursor finds a menu item followed by a dash, And the double-clicking icon puts your window in the trash, And your data is corrupted ’cause the index doesn’t hash, Then your situation’s hopeless, and your system’s gonna crash!

IF the label on the cable on the table at your house, Says the network is connected to the button on your mouse, But your packets want to tunnel on another protocol, That’s repeatedly rejected by the printer down the hall!

IF your screen is all distorted by the side effects of gauss, So your icons in the window are as wavey as a souse, Then you may as well reboot and go out with a bang, ‘Cause as sure as I’m a poet, the sucker’s gonna hang!

IF the copy of your floppy’s getting sloppy on the disk, And the microcode instructions cause unnecessary RISC, Then you have to flash your memory, and you’ll want to RAM your ROM. Quickly turn off the computer and be sure to tell your MOM!

This seamless texture was illustrated by Patrick Hoesly a Kansas city based illustrator specializing in architectural illustrations and graphic design.

What is a Seamless Texture / Pattern?
A seamless texture is an special image, where one side of a image exactly matches the opposite side, so that the edges blend into each other when repeated. Seamless textures are used for desktop wallpaper, webpage backgrounds, video games, Photoshop fills and in 3D rendering programs.

How did you make it?
This texture was made using software specially designed to aid in seamless texture creation. Some of the programs I’ve use are Photoshop, Illustrator, Filter Forge, Genetica, Image Synth, Alien Skin, Topaz Labs, Imagelys, Wood Workshop, and even a pen and paper.

I’m not as techno-savvy as a lot of the other Lifehacker readers, so I don’t have as many neato tools or icons. I’m an archaeology geek, not a computer one!

  • Flat cable remains tangle-free when stored in a pocket or backpack
  • Noise-isolating eartips in six sizes keep the music in and the surrounding noise out
  • Wired with Monster cables and designed by Dr. Dre

Beats Tour delivers sound so big; you would think you had speakers in your ears. Newly developed in-ear speaker technologies reproduce clear natural vocals, detailed highs, and deep powerful bass without distortion. Wired with high-performance Monster Cable, Beats Tour delivers sound performance never before achieved in any earphone. Beats Tour also features the world’s first tangle-free earphone cable. While earphones are convenient, taking the time to untangle them is not.Most in-ear headphones simply cut off the low end of your music because they simply can’t reproduce low audio frequencies. It took well over three years to develop and fine-tune the technology that makes Beats Tour bass so big, you’ll think we put a subwoofer in your head. Dr. Dre would have it no other way.Beats Tour in-ear noise isolation cuts external noise for a better music experience than traditional earbuds. Beats Tour includes five pairs of earbud tips: three pairs of cone tips and two pairs of triple-layered tips for the most comfortable, secure fit that isolates you from unwanted external noise.

The large high-efficiency drivers and magnetic technology have been custom engineered to play loud without distortion so you can hear every note. Beats Tour delivers power and clarity that reveals the emotion in your music. The Sound Check feature on your iPod balances playback levels so all your music tracks play at a consistent volume. But if the volume difference between tracks is large enough, ordinary earbuds may not play tracks with Sound Check loud enough. Beats Tour drivers were engineered so you have all the power you need to rock out even with Sound Check on.The Beats Tour cable features Monster’s patented magnetic flux tube and Mi

    All-in-one are computers that don’t have the tower otherwise known as motherboard. It is instead linked with the screen. So it should be very slim computer that functions both as thetower and a monitor. No need to buy a tower or a monitor as it comes in 1. Usually these computers are touch screen, and comes with a wireless mouse and keyboard. They can range about 1000-2200$ since you don’t have to buy two separate parts. Hope this helped.

    An example is Hp TouchSmart All-in-one.

    Mark Oehlert came by my email inbox asking for a snapshot of my desktop for his collection. I like to keep mine free of cluttered icons, and manage that the same way I clean up my office– just shove them into some other folder where you cannot see ‘em.

    My desktop photos are set to rotate randomly form a folder in my Pictures directory, but I speficically fished out one of my favorites of Mickey, my now gone Lab (and blog model), getting a bath.
