Well, It’s been one helluva week for global communications at my house. First my computer decided to chew up the operating system and spit it back out on the screen in convenient little chunks. I decided to reformat one of the hard drives and install an Ubuntu Linux derivative, Mint as an additional operating system. Usually I’m a Zenwalk man but I got irritated with always running into good Ubuntu software repositories and very little for Zenwalk. I also couldn’t get the Raw Photo plugin for GIMP to work in Zenwalk for some reason.
Anyways, that’s pretty geeky stuff. I know most would be completely uninterested in it. Let’s just say the computer is working on all levels at the moment. Whew! I then decided to upgrade my WordPress installation on my server. I know, I must be a real glutton for punishment. I stared the upgrade and left for work this morning expecting the files to upload and all be sweet. I’ve done this many times before. Here again, the electron gods were not smiling on me. I got to work and hit my site only to notice that there was nothing there! Nada! Not a single line of code or anything!
OK, so that’s all sorted now. For this week’s Creative Photo, I’m gonna appease those Electron Gods and produce a real virtual Global Village suspended in Cyberspace. Hope this changes my luck!
On a side note … see the circuit board in that photo? It’s no longer causing me any troubles 
This is a fascinating photo and a very creative concept for this week’s competition!
As for the geekiness, my son (17) is a computer geek and I’ll show him what you wrote here. Maybe he will understand; I certainly don’t!
Good luck in Roger’s contest.

Great shot! Sorry you’ve had such a rough week with the techno-gods; I know enough geekspeak to know you’ve been thru the ringer.
Love what you did with this entry. Good luck!

I am with everyone else this image rocks. I like the solar flares, they really add to the image being the same shape as the chip.
Congrats by the way you were one of my giveaway winner. pop over and send me your details.

Well I hope your wonderful global village appeases the cyber gods. At least you know how to speak their language. You lost me at Ubuntu Linux…. If I were a cyber god, however, I would be mightily pleased with your offering. Good luck.

I think “geek” speak is brilliant! A language I endlessly try to learn
I love the colored orbs – as if they are rotating around the circuit board goddess – worshiping her and hoping to keep her appeased.

Does the Linux sun revolve around the electrons? Or is it the other way around (and is the earth flat?)

Interesting how you’ve made the motherboard look like something from space. The overall effect is great!!

I’m late getting here from last week’s contest (it was a hectic week!) but I did want to pop by to check out everyone’s entries.
Most definitely a very creative photograph! Almost reminds me of the Death Star in the “Star Wars” movie, though! Shudder!
