Gnome Elmo

background

Persons unknown made this MP3 audio file, which is oddly amusing. (Warning: It is juvenile, and not intended for children.)

intro

[screenshot of Gnome Elmo in Gnome panel]

If you are using Gnome, you can add a Gnome Elmo to your desktop panel, like is shown above, so that you can have an instant Gnome Elmo pick-me-up at any time of the day. Perhaps numerous times throughout the day, such when you are writing your thesis.

howto

Just download the gnome-elmo.mp3 MP3 file and the gnome-elmo.png icon image file, then create a panel launcher with properties similar to those shown below. Voila!

legal

The Elmo name and image and song and such are probably copyrighted, trademarked, patented, and guarded by rabid pitbulls. However, this would seem to fall under fair use as satire.
