FreeBSD wallpaper with BSD daemon on red background.

I needed an eye friendly and neat wallpaper for a laptop computer, that runs the FreeBSD operating system, but a quick search for FreeBSD themed wallpapers did not result in a suitable one. I downloaded a free wallpaper and modified it with the Gimp graphics editor to meet my requirements: The BSD daemon on a dark red background.

I exported it to the widely used 1920×1080 Full HD (16:9) resolution, 1920×1200 Ultra HD (16:10) resolution and 2560×1600 WQXGA (16:10) resolution and made it available for free download via the thumbnail links below. Enjoy.

Video production for Mercuria.

Mercuria needed a video for marketing its business accounting services on its website and social media. This was a great chance to put my sailor boy, great friend and his new video production business Green Media to the test. We arranged a meeting at the office and had a great day with video production. He uses professional grade Sony video camera equipment for recording and the best open source video editing software for his post processing. He did a great and professional job.
