I don’t like cold weather, it’s even to the point that I think about moving to a country like Costa Rica because of it, especially now as scientists have predicted that average temperatures in Europe could fall by 4°C the next years. However, what I really like is falling snow and as much a geek as I am, I let it snow on my desktop with a small app called Snö.
Snö is freeware, OpenSource, non-copyrighted, old and totally unsupported … it even manages to crash other applications once in a while, but beside that, it has a similar relaxing effect as real snow and that alone makes it worth the hassle. Of course it works best on a winter themed desktop image, but personally I prefer to let it snow over a tropical island … as unrealistic as that may be.

Where are you in Costa Rica? San José? I may need a contact person over there as I plan to come with a project. I can’t tell you much more right now, but it will be something to look forward to for all open source devs over there.
