I remember having that 8.10 Intrepid Ibex wallpaper for quite a while before I went looking for some custom wallpapers.
Slightly off-topic, but I hate that this website only loads the images after I scroll to them. Is that the website doing that, or my browser?
I spent ages looking at one near the top and in the meantime, my browser could have been loading all the images further down the page. But instead it didn't, and so when I scrolled down, now it has to load each image as I reach it. I estimate about 16MB of images in total, since each thumbnail is actually the full size image.
