Unique and Productive or Just More Eye-Candy?

Rather than just viewing you pictures one at a time, you spread the pictures out over your desktop and can manage them in a much more natural way. He is hoping to release this on multiple platforms inc. Linux, Mac and Windows."

    I'm not against throwing a few bucks in the direction of something useful, but I usually wait until said useful thing is in my possession before deciding.

    Don't worry. Any random donations from slashdotters will be FAR outweighed by his bandwidth bill this month. For Chrissakes, he posted *movies!* Sure, he pulled them now, but the damage is done.

    He's got some videos on his site

    Use the coral cache or any money left in the tip jar is going to end up being spent on his bandwidth bill.

    Nah, This guy is an ubuntuforum regular. We've seen this project and his other little projects before. More donate-ware than rip off slashdot I'd say.
