Desktop Wallpaper Calendar: September 2010
  |
Desktop wallpapers can serve as an excellent source of inspiration. However, if you use some specific wallpaper for a long period of time, it becomes harder to draw inspiration out of it. That?s why we have decided to supply you with smashing wallpapers over 12 months. And to make them a little bit more distinctive from the usual crowd, we?ve decided to embed calendars for the upcoming month. So if you need to look up some date, isn?t it better to show off a nice wallpaper with a nice calendar instead of launching some default time application?
This post features 75 free desktop wallpapers, created by designers across the globe. Both versions with a calendar and without a calendar can be downloaded for free.
Please notice:
- all images can be clicked and lead to the preview of the wallpaper;
- you can feature your work in our magazine by taking part in our desktop wallpaper calendar series. We are regularly looking for creative designers and artists to be featured on Smashing Magazine. Are you one of them?
So what wallpapers have we received for September 2010?

HTTP Strict Transport Security
It's good to see different groups working together to improve security. This week another browser manufacturer announced future support for an initiative relating to Transport Layer Security (TLS, the successor to SSL).
HTTP Strict Transport Security (HSTS) describes a method for a web site to tell client browsers that they should only interact with it over secure transport, i.e. TLS Whilst there have been browser plugins which support this draft specification, support for HSTS was announced for v4 of Google Chrome in January, and last week for v4 of Mozilla Firefox. Hopefully Microsoft Internet Explorer 9 and ,a href="http://www.opera.com/">Opera will also adopt this.
Why is it important? Some attacks mean that TLS is vulnerable if there are redirects from non-TLS (e.g. http://www.example.com) to TLS (https://www.example.com) content. And if part, or all, of your web site is only meant to be accessed over SSL, HSTS should be implemented now, ready for mainstream adoption.
Further details are provided on the W3C page at Strict Transport Security (STS) and the draft IETF specification is at HTTP Strict Transport Security (HSTS).
HTTP Strict Transport SecurityOK. Enough is enough. Keep the digg news in /r/digg. I haven't cared, I don't care, and I won't care

Speed Up Your Sites by Compressing the Files
Back in April, Google announced that they were adding a new signal to their ranking algorithm – speed. I have been told recently that web page sizes are no longer as important because many people have high speed internet connections. Google has found in their tests that the slower a site loads, the less time people stay on that site. So, even if all your customers have DSL or better connections, they still will benefit from a fast site. And you will benefit from happier customers. One way to speed up your site is by having the web server compress the files before delivering them. This can reduce load times significantly.

Gmail's "Priority Inbox" sorts important e-mail for you
You know the feeling: opening up your e-mail to find hundreds of messages of varying importance. Some are automated reminders from your favorite sites, some are newsletters you have subscribed to, some are actually from real people trying to contact you, and so on. Separating the wheat from the chaff can be overwhelming much of the time, and even the most carefully crafted filters don't keep up with the ever-changing nature of what's important to you. Google is hoping to address that problem with a new feature in Gmail called Priority Inbox. Aimed at providing users a way to get through their inboxes as efficiently as possible, Priority Inbox tries to learn your e-mail habits in order to decide which messages are important to you, and move them up to the top where you can see them first.

The Rise of the Anti-Facebooks
Facebook is dominating social media in almost every country where it hasn't been banned, and the six-year old site shows no signs of slowing down. It's creeping across generations, replacing things like the phone book and introducing tools the masses had no idea they needed. It's also indoctrinating the world into adopting the Mark Zuckerberg Values of "openness," "sharing" and "living your whole life on the Internet." Those values have lead to a cultural movement. But here comes the resistance: a wave of social networking sites that define themselves in opposition to Facebook. Sponsor Privacy Fiends The most prominent example is Diaspora, the distributed, open-source social network all about privacy and control of your data. Diaspora doesn't cite Facebook by name on its Kickstarter page, where its four founders raised 20 times more money than they asked for. But its founders do refer to "large corporate networks who want to tell you that sharing and privacy are mutually exclusive." Diaspora's Kickstarter funding page reflects the demand for a Facebook alternative. The site will launch September 15. Diaspora's founders are followers of Eben Moglen, a professor at Columbia and fierce privacy advocate. Facebook is teaching us to sacrifice privacy for convenience, they argue, giving up our information to advertisers who can then "spy on us for free." They resent Facebook's "flipping of switches" that in the past has made user data public without asking permission. Another site, folkdirect.com, launched in January with a similarly lofty view of privacy: "Your details will never become fodder for targeted advertising campaigns and there are no third party apps to phish your data." Exclusiveness Facebook started as a social networking site for college students. Then high schoolers joined, then our parents and our bosses, then our grandparents. Many of its collegiate members were not pleased. CollegeOnly founder Josh Weinstein remembers how he and his friends were just as anxious to join Facebook as they were for freshman orientation. CollegeOnly launched a social network for "connecting student bodies" last week. When you graduate, you're out. In the promo video, Weinstein turns to the camera and asks, "Don't you wish your social network were college only?" Yet-to-launch mobile startup Scoop has a similar idea. Maybe age or school-affiliation isn't important, but exclusiveness still is. ASMALLWORLD is an invitation-only social network for "sophisticated" and "influential" people. "Trusted and loyal ASW members who meet certain criteria have the privilege of inviting a limited number of their friends to the network. If you know someone with this privilege, you can ask them to invite you. If not, please be patient and continue to ask around in your own personal and professional circles," the site says. Multiple personalities Facebook does let you target what you upload to specific friends. But Facebook doesn't want you to splinter your identity. Throughout its history, Facebook has encouraged users to use their real names, upload their real birthdays and use their real identities to log on to other sites. Hibe is a yet-to-launch social network based around controlling which personality you project to whom, a concept its creator calls "Social Web 3.0." "We are opening the way for a new social networking experience that goes beyond Facebook," the site says. Social Networking After FacebookA presentation about forthcoming social network Hibe.com, which emphasizes privacy and fractured online identities. Just last week we wrote about Facebook competitor Orkut introducing a similar feature with friend groups. The blog post announcing the feature was titled, "You're not always the same person. Why should it be any different on the Web?" And all the other things that annoy you about Facebook "Don't you wish your social network were college only?"-CollegeOnly founder Josh Weinstein Wish Facebook were simpler? Twitter. More professional? LinkedIn. None of these services has achieved a user base anywhere near the size of Facebook's alleged 500 million. But Twitter and LinkedIn each have a sizable following, and many of the just-launched or soon-to-launch anti-Facebooks are tapping into real demand. There is no single alternative to Facebook. But maybe there could be two. or three. Or hundreds. What do you think - could any of these sites (or a combination of them) ever replace Facebook? Discuss

Time Tracking Tweets
Last week I asked my followers on Twitter if they could recommend a good application to help me track the billable time I’m spending on various client projects. Reaffirming the power of tens of thousands of similarly geeky compatriots, I was quickly deluged with answers, for which I’m very grateful.
I had originally asked for suggestions for software both on the desktop and on the Web, but most of the replies focused on the latter. Which is kind of amazing to me. I remember entering work hours in a hoary old package called Timeslips when I started working as a designer; it ran on one Macintosh in the design studio where I was employed, and the staff had to take turns with it to enter our project hours. It was poorly designed and really painful. Of course that was a long time ago but even five or six years ago, when I was researching time tracking solutions for my old design studio, the pickings were slim.
Now time tracking software is available pretty much anywhere and at any time; a number of the packages suggested to me have iPhone components as well. That’s a lot of progress.
In my cursory review of the links sent to me, I definitely feel that I’m more attracted to a Web-based app, mostly because I think the short-term economics are better for me. I haven’t really settled on which is the best fit, but several folks on Twitter asked me to reflect back on the suggestions I came across, so here we go in no particular order.
Freckle
Looks pretty, but also somewhat complex. I’m turned off by having to surrender my credit card information to get a ‘free trial.’ Suggested by @soopa, @MiSc_at, @matthewcrist, and @mwarkentin.
Freshbooks
Obviously powerful and a popular suggestion. Probably more than I need though. Suggested by @soopa, @TremulantDesign, @epicserve, @KADLAC, @brightwhite, @Forsyth_Design and @misterdham.
Invoice Machine
Looks very sleek. Recommended by @soopa and @chrisltd.
ProfitTrain
Tracks time and does invoicing, also allows flexible invoice styles. Recommended by @Jon_Whipple.
Billings
I got a lot of tweets about Billings. It has both mobile and desktop apps. Suggested by @collinkelly, @allanmoran, @allanmoran, @MacDivaONA, @rbird01, @hystericlife, @dmerfield, @davidcorrell, @wittig and @ktamura.
TimeTracker App
Suggested by @MacDivaONA and @capndesign.
ClockingIT
Supposedly a nice complement to Billings. Suggested by @thulsey and @brianleroux.
Toggl
Looks intriguing actually though I didn’t really have any time to drill down into it. Suggested by @andyHatch and @epicserve.
TimePost
A desktop program that works as a menu bar app and can post to several of these other time tracking packages listed here. Suggested by @Artletic.
Tick
For some reason, this is the one I decided to give a spin. It seems serviceable for now but I’m not sure I will stick to it; the interface seems a little more geared towards multiple users than I need. I’m just a one-person operation for now, so I want something very slimmed down. Suggested by @frcavalli.
Timelog
Suggested by @IdeaMechanic.
RescueTime
Someone wrote to me: “The interface is really intuitive and I love the way it records and displays data.” Suggested by @davebowker, @jessenivens, @tedgoas and @irwin.
TimeEdition
“Free and super simple, I use it to log time to iCal. Could look nicer though.” I need simple, but I also need it to look good. Plus, I use iCal to plan for what’s ahead, and have never really liked it as a repository for an hour-by-hour record of what’s already happened. Suggested by @worldwidewookie.
On the Job
Suggested by @rbird01 and @imagetic.
Klock2
A desktop app that runs on Adobe Air — which is kind of a show stopper for me. Suggested by @thehilker.
Eon
Suggested by @benkutil.
PomodoroPro
Apparently this is part of a philosophy called The Pomodor Technique, which I’d never heard of before. Suggested by @kyletwebster.
ClickTime
Recommended by @bruce.
Harvest
No one mentioned Harvest to me, but that’s because in my tweet I specifically asked for other suggestions. I’ve tried Harvest — in fact it was the first package I tried as it’s one of the biggest brands in the category. I liked it fine, but I just wanted to see what else was out there.
Thanks to everyone who took the time out to send me tweets on this subject. There were a couple of suggestions that I missed, I’m sure, and I apologize to folks who were excluded or wrongly cited here. This kind of compilation of results takes some effort, as it turns out. Everything takes time, which is my whole problem I guess.
Heading north again
It seems like a long time since I last wrote anything here. Time for a catchup perhaps? I completed the work related course last week, and came away as a certified Microsoft SharePoint 2010 developer (I can use the letters … Continue reading →
