This is the studio's main audio workstation. Just thought I'd post this as I'm about to redesign it. I've had several weeks to tinker with Rainmeter and I've got some new setup ideas :]

This is the secondary monitor.
I use Launchy to launch apps and documents, and in conjunction with NirCmd to email, tweet, shutdown monitors, open and close DVD trays, append items to my ToDo list, send the contents of my clipboard to a predesignated text file, speak aloud the contents of my clipboard [more handy than it sounds :] and to perorm fast indexed file searching through Everything!
The list on the right is the ToDo list that is appended by Launchy. It takes me 2 or 3 seconds to quickly add an idea or reminder for myself, without leaving the program I'm using or breaking my mental flow.
The background image I made to give myself some visual boundaries for icons. The area at the top [above the birds :] is for my current projects. The area in the middle is for random crap that I need to sort out! I turned off icon arranging to give a more of a messy floor look :]

Este tema habla por sí solo. IMPRESIONANTE
"Live Forever" es una canción la banda británica Oasis, escrita por el guitarrista y compositor Noel Gallagher. Esta canción fue el tercer sencillo de su álbum debut Definitely Maybe, lanzado el 8 de agosto de 1994, justo antes del lanzamiento del álbum.
Gallagher escribió esta canción en 1991, antes de estar en Oasis. Se inspiró en "Shine a Light" de The Rolling Stones; con sonidos básicos y una letra con visión optimista, "Live Forever" contrasta con la actitud de las bandas de grunge de la época. La canción fue el primer sencillo de Oasis en entrar al top ten en el Reino Unido, y fue aclamado por la crítica.
Recientemente fue colocada en primera posición en la lista 50 mejores himnos del indie por la revista NME.
También elegida como la mejor canción de la historia de la música británica.
"Live Forever" is a song by British rock group Oasis. Written by guitarist Noel Gallagher, the song was released as the third single from their debut album Definitely Maybe on 8 August 1994, just prior to that album's release.
Gallagher wrote the song in 1991, before he joined Oasis. Inspired by The Rolling Stones' "Shine a Light," "Live Forever" features a basic song structure and lyrics with an optimistic outlook that contrasted with the attitude of the grunge bands popular at the time. The song was the first Oasis single to enter the top ten in the United Kingdom, and garnered critical acclaim.
Background and recording
Noel Gallagher wrote "Live Forever" in 1991, while working for a building company in his hometown of Manchester. After his foot was crushed by a pipe in an accident, he was given a less-strenuous job working in the storeroom, allowing him more time to write songs. One night he was listening to The Rolling Stones' album Exile on Main St. While playing one of his own chord progressions, Gallagher noted that it sounded good against one of the vocal melodies from the album: "It was the bit from 'Shine a Light' that goes [sings], 'May the good lord shine a light on you,'" Gallagher recalled. Gallagher incorporated the melody, changing the line to "Maybe I don’t really want to know". For a period afterwards, that was the only part of the song Gallagher had completed.
The song was later instrumental in helping the band secure their record deal with Creation Records. Reflecting on when he first heard the song, Creation boss Alan McGee recalled "It was probably the single greatest moment I've ever experienced with them."
The demo version of "Live Forever" begins with an acoustic guitar intro. While recording the album version, the record's producer Owen Morris cut out this intro and replaced it with a drumbeat played by Tony McCarroll. Morris further cut a second section in Noel's guitar solo. Although Gallagher was upset, Morris felt the part had sounded "a bit like fucking Slash from Guns N' Roses".
Reception
"Live Forever" was released on 8 August 1994 as the band's third single, a month before the release of their debut album Definitely Maybe. The song had been part of the band's set for longer than a year at that point, and had amassed so many mentions in reviews of the group that "its release [as a single] had long seemed inevitable." In its review of the single, NME found "Live Forever" to be an improvement over Oasis' previous singles, concluding, "Basically, what thus far looked like obnoxious Manc arrogance suddenly looks like sheer effortlessness. A terrific record."
While Oasis' first two singles, "Supersonic" and "Shakermaker", were modestly received, it was "Live Forever" that "got the world's attention." "Live Forever" became Oasis' first top ten hit, reaching number ten on the British singles charts in 1994. In 1995, the song became the band's first chart success in the United States, reaching number two and ten on Billboard's Modern Rock Tracks and Mainstream Rock Tracks charts, respectively.[8] Noel Gallagher commented on the praise given to the song: "People said to me after 'Live Forever', 'Where are you gonna go after that?' And I was like, I don't think it's that good. I think it's a fucking good song, but I think I can do better."
"Live Forever" has garnered additional acclaim years after its release. In 2006, "Live Forever" was named the greatest song of all time in a poll released by Q; the song had ranked ninth in a similar Q poll three years before.[9] In 2007, "Live Forever" placed number one in the NME and XFM poll of the 50 "Greatest Indie Anthems Ever".[10] The song was selected by Noel Gallagher for inclusion on Oasis' compilation album Stop the Clocks in 2006.
