I'm here to collect my OSS karma as I contributed a couple of the wallpapers to this one.

    These are beautiful. Have you made more?

      Thanks. My flickr account is http://www.flickr.com/photos/phil-jackson/ http://www.flickr.com/photos/phil-jackson/ but the more recent photos are of my son so you might want to page a couple of times.

        You ought to consider making a set or collection for wallpaper-able images. Some of these are great.

        And maybe sell them with Gumroad.com?

Downvoted. Twilight frost is an awesome background though. You should add more info like "Hey, a little OT, but here's how the process works. Etc" to avoid down votes for lack of contribution.

  If replying to a comment with "Upvoted" is unproductive, what's more productive about saying "Downvoted"?
  - noahc 14y ago
    I don't always down vote, but when I do I prefer to leave a comment. I've probably down voted someone less than 20 times on HN, but when I do I like to leave a comment as to why. Its been the case where I've been down voted and wondered why. His comment isn't a troll comment and looking at his past comments he seems to be reasonable, intelligent, and otherwise a productive member of HN. I wanted him to know why I downvoted him, and he can consider changing the post to offer more insight in which case he would attract more upvotes and would generally make HN a better place. What makes my comment more productive is that I articulated why I down voted which is that it lacked any insight into the process and didn't contribute to the conversation.

      And meanwhile you leave a meaningful comment and get downvoted anyways. WTH, people? If this were Reddit, I'd be attaching the Jackie Chan face right about here.

      Parent was excited about his contribution. Just because you want insight into "the process" doesn't mean parent has to deliver to you.
      - noahc 14y ago
        I don't think he should feel obligated to deliver. But, I think comments should generally add to the conversation. If they don't, I tend to down vote them.
