12/20/2023 0 Comments Change my wallpaper pictureMy current one is the cover art for Haken's latest album. I do change my phone wallpaper quite often though, every few months, since that's one I actually see many times a day, and do sometimes tire of. I mean look at them, aren't they just wonderful? They've been my work-computer wallpapers for more than a decade now, ever since college. So I put that folder on cycle, and when I was upgraded to Windows 10 at work, I copied that folder to keep them on cycle. Young me used to change the desktop wallpaper quite often, and I discovered that Windows 7 had a folder of delightful rather abstract ones. I only see it for about 10 seconds whenever I reboot my computer, so there's not much reason to change it, unless the system default is very bad. My desktop wallpaper is usually the system default. Again there's no compelling reason to change it, and the slight amusement it brings me is a reason to keep it. The one I currently use is based on a nickname I had in college. I change my Steam profile picture comparatively often, having changed it twice since I created the account around fifteen years ago. No-one's ever questioned it, I've found no compelling reason to change it, and the slight amusement it brings me is reason enough to keep it. So now whenever I sign in on my Windows computer I see that nearly two decades old low-resolution picture of two horses. Without any input from me, that picture somehow became my Hotmail account profile picture, later my Skype profile picture, and eventually my Microsoft account profile picture, and thus my Windows user profile picture. When I signed up for MSN Messenger nearly two decades ago I was randomly assigned one of the default profile pictures, of two horses enjoying a sunny day together. My Microsoft profile picture is probably the best example of this. (There's another reason why I don't change my profile picture (or wallpaper) on Facebook: I haven't found a way to do so without the change showing on my wall and in my contacts' feed.)Īnother reason is I care less than I probably should. My Facebook profile picture has been the same for more than a decade now, since my dad snapped a good photo of me when we were vacationing on Iceland together. ![]() I don't take selfies, and my friends aren't the kind of people who take a lot of pictures. One reason is that there just aren't many good pictures of me. I'm pretty much a constant when it comes to profile pictures.
