The Greatest Screensaver In The World

It has been a while since my last post and i'll have to say working at EA is one of those things that get in the way of me writing. However, I am determined to keep this going and keep this updated as much as possible. Tiger Woods 2006 PC Review is coming soon. Too addicted to it right now to write.

For now though, let me introduce you to the greatest screen saver in the world. The first impression for most people have about this screen saver is something along the lines of "WOW!, This is awesome!" It has been featured on G4 TV's Attack of the Show during their segment called Damn Good Download. I am of course talking about Electric Sheep (http://www.electricsheep.org).

What is electric sheep? It was first described as the combined dreams of a network of computers. They are really fractal flames. Or a more simple way of describing it, a beautiful mesh of color and shapes and designs.

When you download the screen saver it creates a cache directory where it will download "sheep" to it. The sheep are the moving fractal flames that are downloaded from a central server. The thing you have to remember is that when you get the screen saver, be patient with it while it downloads the first sheep. Best thing to do is have it run over night if you can and let it do its thing. When you wake up in the morning, you will absolutely love the results. The best thing about it, is that it is always changing. New sheep are made every few minutes, and as time goes on, old sheep will be replaced with new sheep and keep the screen saver fresh.

There's nothing like coming into the room where your computer is and seeing a new sheep on your monitor dancing in beautiful color. This is the last screen saver you will ever need.
